It’s surprising the symptoms that people will live with on a day-to-day basis without attempting to address them. Countless people are living with symptoms including bloating, nausea, severe fatigue, headaches, rashes, and digestive distress on a daily basis and are, incorrectly, assuming this is just their body and something that they have to learn to put up with. This simply isn’t the case.
A lot of people living with the above symptoms will take the appropriate first step of seeing a medical professional to see if there is an underlying condition or disease which is causing the symptom they’re struggling with. Sometimes, these symptoms stump a doctor to the point where they just throw their hands up and shrug. It can be incredibly frustrating and can lead these people to join the first group in just accepting these symptoms as part of life. But there is something you may not have considered, which is incredibly likely to be contributing to the symptoms you’re experiencing: the food you eat.
Food is at the heart of everything your body does. Your body needs the calories in food to be able to perform. It helps your body recover from the daily processes that you carry out. Putting the right foods into your body is absolutely essential to get the output you are looking for. So if you’re eating sub-optimally, then you can expect your body to perform accordingly.
But beyond eating foods generally considered “unhealthy,” there are other considerations to make, and one thing, in particular, is likely to be the reason behind those symptoms; food sensitivity. When your body is unable to produce sufficient (if any) enzymes to break down a particular type of food, you have a food sensitivity that can be producing the symptoms that you’ve resigned yourself to living with.
Food Sensitivity Testing and an Elimination Diet
The most efficient and accurate way to identify a food sensitivity is food sensitivity testing. By taking a test, you can determine any foods that are causing you any of the above symptoms or any of the other symptoms of food sensitivity. Once you identify your problem foods, you can perform an elimination diet. An elimination diet is the process of removing a food from your diet to restore tolerance levels. This helps you eliminate the symptoms, causing you problems before you reintroduce the problem foods back into your diet.
