Allergy and Intolerance: a dietary response (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798345618943)

Allergies and intolerances appear to be rife at the moment with more than one in four people receiving some form of treatment which could include antihistamines and EpiPen's. However, the side effects of antihistamines are concerning and include rapid weight gain; long term they are also a risk factor for dementia and depress the immune system leaving patients open to more frequent and severe infection. Although it is possible to identify the allergen, there is a type of angioedema which is known as idiopathic angioedema. This simply means that no cause can be identified although, of course, there must be a cause. When a cause cannot be established it can be a major source of frustration for the patient who is suffering very real symptoms.
The author looks at various nutritional responses to allergies, intolerances and angioedema which are effective and do not carry the risks of prescription medications.; she also identifies a nutritional deficiency whose symptoms are similar to those of idiopathic angioedema and asks can this due to a vitamin deficiency, which is not routinely tested for, as opposed to an allergic response or an intolerance. .
