What are ways of identifying immune problem foods?
A. One of the most effective tools for identifying harmful foods is a symptom and food diary. Simply look for a pattern of offending foods preceding the symptom, typically in two to four hours, but sometimes as much as two days. Try having seventeen meals per day! Each hour and meal is its own food. Observe for a significant mucus response, an increase in pulse rate, drowsiness, headache, nausea or other symptom. There are many ways of testing the body. Muscle strength and response can be evaluated after exposure to a stimulus, using strategies of applied muscle testing. Electronic versions similar to a lie detector can also evaluate for food and environmental sensitivities.
