To protect the body against the irritating nature of food, the alimentary canal lining must be not damaged to allow digestion and absorption. If food is not broken down correctly, large particles of food can be interpreted by the body as foreign invaders.
The digestive tract is the barrier that blocks these particles from entering into the blood so it must be healthy (i.e. no holes or leaks).
Certain foods are more irritating than others hence why more people are allergic to these than others, eg. peanuts, shellfish, strawberries, chocolate, wheat, eggs and dairy.
To help prevent food allergies, you need to firstly break down your food correctly and secondly have an intact digestive tract.
The follow protocol of supplements can help you achieve both these goals:-
- Food enzymes which break down food compounds for assimilation into the bloodstream. Proactazynme is a fantastic general purpose enzyme supplement from plant sources containing, protease, amylase, glucoamylase, lipase, pectinase and cellulase. It helps the body digest all food types and helps break down difficult to digest foods.
- Bowel Build contains betaine HCl, pepsin and pancreatin to help break down food particles; psyllium hulls, kelp plant and chlorophyll to provide needed bulk, encourage proper flow of waste and detoxify the digestive system; vitamin A (beta-carotene), vitamin C and vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol), zinc (gluconate) and selenium (amino acid chelate) to provide anti-oxidants and to help the production of antibodies; marshmallow root and parthenium root to soothe the mucosal tissue and help create sufficient mucus as a protective barrier; and ginger root serves as an anti-inflammatory. See your health care provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing. May cause a reaction in persons allergic to inhaled or ingested psyllium.
