	Dr. Hal Brown - Naturopath Vancouver BC - Food Sensitivity
		Food Sensitivity testing with the VEGA machine (see under electro-dermal testing) is used to determine which foods may be aggravating your immune system and lowering your tolerance to physical, chemical, and emotional influences.
		Symptoms of food sensitivity are varied, and may include constipation, diarrhoea, heartburn, nausea, headache, skin inflammation, mood swings, fatigue, sinus/lung congestion, and other vague and seemingly unrelated symptoms.
		Foods that still show a reaction, even though you have been avoiding them, are probably your primary sensitivity foods and will take longer to clear.

	Food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances (12-36 months)
		Although many people suspect their child is allergic to certain foods, only 10 to 12 percent of toddlers between the ages of 12 and 18 months actually have a true food allergy, and this number falls to about 8 percent by the age of 3.
		An allergist should be able to tell you which food or foods are causing the problem and whether the symptoms are part of an immune reaction (indicating an allergy) or a sign that he's unable to digest the food (indicating a food intolerance).
		The term food sensitivity is being used by allergists to refer to an oral sensitivity that a child may have to a particular food.

	Adverse reactions to food, FOOD ALLERGY AND SENSITIVITY
		An adverse reaction to a food, as defined by Anderson (3), is a clinically abnormal response attributed to an exposure to a food or food additive.
		Other idiosyncratic reactions to foods reported to occur are: hyperkinetic behavior in children as a result of the consumption of food coloring agents and sugar; migraine headaches due to consumption of chocolate or aspartame; and "Chinese restaurant syndrome" due to consumption of excessive amounts of monosodium glutamate.
		The food industry must be aware of the adverse effects (potential hazards associated with presence of allergenic residues) of food and food ingredients for a small portion of the population that includes both consumers and workers.

	Patent 6,667,160
		The invention provides a method of diagnosing immunologic food sensitivities and related diseases or disorders based on the presence of certain other related disorders or immunologic diseases, based on the presence of certain HLA alleles, or based on a failure to respond to bismuth subsalicylate treatment for microscopic colitis or a relapse after such treatment.
		Once such food sensitivity is sensitivity to dietary yeast, particularly Saccharomyces cervesiae (the yeast utilized in baker's and brewer's yeast, as well as to make fermented foods such as sauerkraut and others).
		This, as well as sensitivities to other food substances such as cow's milk (whereby antibodies to lactalbumin, casein, and bovine serum albumin are detected) and chicken's eggs (antibodies to ovalbumin), is another immunologic food sensitivity diagnosable by the method of the invention.

	Patent 6,667,160
		In one aspect of the invention, patients at risk for immunologic food sensitivities are identified and the immunologic food sensitivities are diagnosed based on the presence of certain other immunologic or hepatic diseases or disorders.
		Another known method of identifying immunologic food sensitivities is based on the presence of symptoms; however as the symptoms of many of gastrointestinal related diseases overlap, an accurate diagnosis based on symptoms may be difficult.
		As previously discussed, one such food sensitivity that is commonly undiagnosed or misdiagnosed is gluten sensitivity, or the related disease celiac sprue, which is a more severe form of gluten sensitivity with associated small intestinal damage.

	ABC News: Sense and Sensitivity: Understanding Food Allergies in Kids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Sometimes we do food challenges where we hide the identity of the food from the individual eating it, their family and even from the physician and nurse so there won't be any bias.
		Another one is that a rotation diet, in which foods are rotated on a regular cycle according to their "food families," is a way to manage an allergy.
		The more foods that you suspect, the more difficult it is for a primary care physician to conduct an evaluation and find the answer, so you may need to see a specialist.

	Food Allergy
		One problem that has made delayed food allergy difficult to diagnose in the past is that most physicians did not realize that a reaction, even a sudden, severe one, may occur so late and continue for so long a time after a given allergenic food is eaten even once.
		The foods we find to be the culprits in an individual food sensitive patient are most often those foods that are frequently and repetitively eaten by that person.
		Food Desensitization Immunotherapy (allergy vaccines as our patients like to call them) based on skin testing can be of tremendous benefit in treating both simple and complex food sensitivity conditions.

	Food Allergy and Food Sensitivity Alert Cards - Budget Travel
		Anyone who has food allergies, food sensitivities or requires a special diet (such as vegetarian and diabetic) knows how hard it is to eat out in restaurants.
		I requested a card for my food allergy of soy in the German language, which is shown in these images.
		For those with life threatening food allergies, there are strongly worded cards with a statement such as “I have a life-threatening allergy to shrimp.” and “If I eat this food or any food that has been cooked with it or touched it, I will need immediate medical attention.”

	Behavioral and cognitive effects of food sensitivity in children: towards a routine assessment protocol by Kaarina ...
		These significant food effect differences between groups were indicated by parents' ratings (the Conners' Hyperactivity Index score was significant at the p=0.049 level) and by the experimenter's ratings of ADHD-type behaviours during assessment visits (p=0.024).
		First, those eight behavioural children who were assessed by multiple raters to have experienced a positive reaction ("food reactors"), and their matched control subjects, were compared to those eight children who had less obvious reactions ("non reactors"), and their matches.
		Food and behaviour research went through an early phase of activity in the 1970's and is again becoming the focus of some interest.

	Food Sensitivity Testing
		Simple Food Sensitivity can come and go and is often an indication of the body’s vital force (immune system) being under par, or stress factors and even indigestion/heartburn.
		Just like all the other systems of testing for food sensitivity, we cannot guarantee the exact accuracy of the results but nevertheless the system we use helps our Tester to express his or her views on how you can safely start an elimination programme.
		The recognised gold standard for dealing with problems associated with Food Sensitivity is to examine one’s history and symptoms, eliminate the potentially problematic foods and then re-introduce them (after giving the body a short rest).

		Food allergies can also provoke anaphylactic shock, an uncommon but life-threatening reaction that includes a sharp drop in blood pressure and difficulty breathing caused by swelling of the tongue and throat.
		A food challenge reveals an allergy when a reaction occurs after the suspect food is eaten.
		Intolerance or sensitivity is not the same as the immune response of an allergy.

	Digestive Food Sensitivity
		A Digestive Food Sensitivity Vibrational Assessment will help identify which food items to which you are digestively sensitive.
		Add to the food needs by blood type the digestive sensitivity that is often created by candida, mould, parasites, worms and viruses and you begin to understand the environment which has helped to create digestive sensitivities.
		If foods which have been identified as digestively sensitive are ingested by an individual some or all of the following symptoms may be experienced: bloating; stomach pain; fatigue; lethargy; a strong need to sleep after eating; depression; restlessness; hyperactivity; feeling spacey; disoriented; headache; muscle aches and weight gain.

		Food sensitivities are the cause of many people’s problems, including being overweight and having immune system deficiencies.
		One way people can develop food sensitivities over time is by eating only one thing and not rotating in a variety of similar foods.
		The other causes of food sensitivities are also mostly due to poor dietary habits and they include poor digestion, nutrient deficiencies, a limited diet of highly processed foods.

	Food Sensitivity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Tracy asked her Allergist about Food Sensitivities and was told that most so called "Food Sensitivities" are in the mind, not the stomach.
		The first thing we can say about food sensitivities (FS) is that most people who strongly suspect that they have problematic food sensitivities probably do have them and, in all probability, they have other environmental sensitivities as well.
		You need to avoid all suspect foods (for four to fourteen days - footnote three) because the immune systems (specifically, the basophils) of many people with FS is exhausted and if your immune system is exhausted you may not notice the FS reaction/response.

	Testing for Food Sensitivity
		When food is put in the mouth the process of digestion begins and this consists of extraction of the nutritionally valuable products while at the same time resisting or neutralising the poisons which are an integral and natural part of food.
		These series of experiment encouraged us that as important as food sensitivity may be, it is likely that both natural and man made chemical xenobiotics may be equally if not more important in some syndromes.
		There are often associated with the food problems, other aspects which need attention; there may be disruption of the gut flora – the bacteria in the gut, essential for providing 25% of our energy needs and tests are necessary to determine what is the problem and how it should be treated.
