For a year now, I am suffering from food allergies. I always sneeze. I experience eye itchiness and runny nose. I tried to avoid those food but sometimes I can’t.
Good food are not always best. Too much soy or other food allergens can cause fatigue and other symptoms. If you eat common food allergens – corn, dairy products, eggs, nuts, soy, and wheat- every day for years, you may develop food sensitivities to them, resulting fatigue. The problem may start when you don’t completely break down your food. (perhaps you don’t chew thoroughly or have too little stomach acid. Your body mistakes undigested food particles for foreign invaders and releases antibodies to fight them. As fragments from the same food build up in your bloodstream, your body may react more fiercely, causing fatigue as well as well as other symptoms like gas, bloating, achy joints, and rashes.
SOLUTION: follow an elimination diet. It can help feel more energetic in three to seven days. For two weeks, completely avoid corn, dairy, eggs, nuts, soy and wheat and the foods that contain them. After two weeks, add one of these foods back into you diet; add one more for each of the next five weeks. Pay attention to your energy levels by keeping a diary; if fatigue or other symptoms return, you have identified an offending food and you should avoid it for three to six months. You can then gradually reintroduce the food, eating it once or twice a week, but watch for symptoms.
