Less Common Food Sensitivities: Soy, Corn, Nightshades etc.

Unexpected food toxins

There are food toxins in some categories of foods - apart from gluten grains and milk products. Ironically - some of these are offered as 'gluten-free alternatives' in health food shops. But beware - they can cause just as many diffcult symptoms as gluten, fructose or dairy.

So if you still have symptoms despite checking out the main four - look at any of these:

• • Food allergies (nuts, eggs, shellfish, crustacea etc.)

• • Corn (maize) allergy

• • 'Alternative' grains like millet, quinoa, amaranth

• • Legumes like beans, chick peas, lentils Soy and soy bean products and others

• • Sorbitol and Polyols and alternative sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin

• • Nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, capsicum, peppers, chilli and others)

• • Food additives (artificial preservatives, flavour enhancers, colours etc.)

• • Latex foods: cross-reactions with banana, avocado, chestnut and others

• • Salicylates: found in some medications like aspirin and in tiny amounts in plants

• • So-called “Super Foods” like Chia, Goji berries and acai etc.

Adjusted your diet - but still have symptoms?

If you are already following a special diet (perhaps prescribed by a naturopath) - but you are still suffering symptoms, there are three possible explanations:

• • • You are still accidentally eating what you are trying to avoid . . . or

• • • You have guessed the wrong intolerance or are misdiagnosed . . . or

• • • You have an additional food intolerance - as yet undiagnosed

In any of the above cases we can help you find answers ...
