Re: Ammonia smell-food intolerance?

[Guest guest]

I'm curious about this too. I'm wary of almonds, but have never had any kind of

major reaction to them. A lot of people here talk about being intolerant to

foods, but I'm not sure if that means having a bad reaction or not.

Does this mean that as the gut heals, some foods become more tolerable, so long

as you don't have anaphylaxis or something major?

into the next phase of my study, which is how to starve the harmful bacteria

with the Intro Diet. I am better each day.

PJ, Yes. This is Dr. Hofman's foreward in BTVC I got from www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info One oversimplification Elaine Gottschall’s book avoids is the notion that food allergy is the source of many gastrointestinal complaints. Since dietary manipulation can produce results, it is, perhaps, natural to assume this. But over-reliance on the ambiguous results of allergy testing leaves many patients incompletely treated. The more sophisticated belief that it is not individual foods themselves but the byproducts of ingestion of certain foods that cause intestinal problems is fast replacing the concept of food allergy.
