Allergic reactions happen in a couple of ways:

One is an immediate allergic reaction:

Eating a peanut may cause an anaphylactic reaction to that substance almost immediately.

Treatment usually involves avoiding the substance and carrying an Epipen.

Another reaction, which is much more common, is a delayed allergic reaction. This reaction can take hours to days to manifest and can cause one or more of the following symptoms:

Patients often tell us they have tried many approaches to get relief from their symptoms, but nothing seems to work. The first step is testing for the allergies (but not in the conventional manner, which can be painful and imprecise).

Functional food allergy tests reveal the “degree” of reaction to individual foods. Other allergies should also be tested, including environmental allergies, (mold, mildew, spores, etc.), drug allergies, allergies to food additives and dyes, and chlorine, benzene and other chemicals. Tests are done with a single blood draw and no skin pricks are necessary. Specialized Kineseology testing is sometimes necessary whe dealingnwth challenging cases.

Immunoglobulins, digestive enzymes, gut microbiome, toxins, opportunistic infections, etc., can provide a clear window for treatment options.
