Got Fibromyalgia & Sensitive to Everything? Part 2: Food Sensitivities
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
Many people have food sensitivities that force them to live on a restricted diet. In some cases, sensitivities continue to develop, and with them even more food restrictions. The restrictions can mount to such an extent that living with them can paint you into a "dietary corner" with virtually nothing you can eat.
What Causes This?
There are three main health issues that trigger food sensitivities:
- Incomplete digestion of proteins because of insufficient stomach acid or digestive enzymes.
- Leaky gut from infections, especially candida, and other causes. Anti-inflammatory arthritis medications such as ibuprofen are major triggers for leaky gut as well.
- Adrenal fatigue.
Your digestive system is one of your main protective barriers between you and what's unhealthy in the outside world. Because of this, your immune system patrols your gut pretty aggressively. When eating food, especially proteins, these border guards check to make sure that what you've eaten has been properly broken down into their component amino acids.
