Action plan for sensitivity

June 24, 2021 by Kate Leave a Comment

When we suspect food intolerance, or sensitivity, what do we do next?

allergy, intolerance, young kid, heal your gut

The kids or you are always getting sick. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Endless colds. Chronic eczema. Tummy pains. Runny poos, or non existent poos. Grumpy and moody. And that’s just you! 😉

Wheat or gluten sensitivity?

April 29, 2021 by Kate Leave a Comment

Do you notice a bloated belly from time to time? Or perhaps random aches and pains? Maybe you have problem skin? You may have a wheat or gluten sensitivity.

These and many other symptoms are signs of inflammation. And one of the most inflammatory things we can eat is Australian wheat!

Problem is, most Australians eat wheat and its products several times a day. If you are reading this blog, you may already know you have an intolerance to wheat or gluten. But why is it so common these days, with every second person having trouble digesting this basic food?

Creamy mayo & why fats are great for you!

October 3, 2020 by Kate Leave a Comment

Fats, fats, yummy fats! We are programmed to love a combo of fat and salt, or fat and sugar – think French fries, or cake. But are fats bad for us? Definitely not! In fact, they are essential. Hence my delicious mayo recipe (intolerance friendly of course, with egg white-free version, oil options for low salicylates and citric acid free).

Vanilla cakes or cup cakes

July 6, 2020 by Kate Leave a Comment

For birthday cakes, I use sugar. My cakes are already gluten free, dairy free, grain free, soy free and egg free. So I figure, if I want kids who are used to “normal” cakes to eat my kids’ birthday cakes, I better put at least one familiar ingredient in there. And it usually works. Kids who are used to some home baking or gluten free, love this cake. It is moist and doesn’t crumble too much, so it slices really well for birthdays.

what is ‘reactivity’? and is it a life sentence?

August 16, 2018 by Kate Leave a Comment

reactivity food chemical intolerance solution Reactivity means, simply, that your body reacts to many things. This can be anything – foods, chemicals in the environment, criticism, emotions, pain. If you’re a reactive person, you feel everything strongly. Your system over-reacts to everything. (Feeling things strongly is not necessarily a bad thing, but reacting to everyday things can be really difficult.) Signs and symptoms cover every body system, but primarily skin, lungs, nose and eyes, nervous system (mood and headaches) and gut.

So, how do we quieten these reactions and make life easier on the reactive person? …

Top 7 gut healing tips for food intolerance

September 25, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

food intolerance gut health

looking after your gut health reduces food intolerances

With all types of food intolerance, comes an underlying gut problem. Heal your gut and your body will react less. Your body is reacting to foods because there’s an imbalance of bacteria and ‘leaky gut’. If you have ongoing gut symptoms, emotional problems, skin issues or multiple sensitivities, then a good old gut healing protocol may be just what you need.

Did you know there are 2 types of food intolerance?

types food intolerance IgG elimination diet

finding the diet that is RIGHT FOR YOU is the key to managing food intolerance

I’d be surprised if you said yes! There aren’t many people who do. Some say chemical sensitivity is the only type of food intolerance, others say it’s all about IgG. When in truth, both exist and are very real for the people suffering from them. The key to the riddle is knowing how to test for each type.

elimination diet part 5 – salicylates, skin and where to from here

February 16, 2017 by Kate 2 Comments

a platter of salad is great to share - everyone can have what they can eat. just add some complex carbs and protein for a balanced meal.

a platter of salad is great to share – everyone can choose what they can eat. just add some complex carbs and protein for a balanced meal.

Finally, it’s nearing the end! We can almost say, so long elimination diet, but not yet. Not yet.

It’s a slow process getting back to health and finding the perfect diet to accommodate food intolerances with the right nutrients for you to thrive. Don’t forget that a few well chosen (prescribed) supplements can bridge the gap while your diet or health is lacking.

When we retested salicylates for Sofia, we discovered a clear connection with her eczema, especially the itchiness. So for the time being, we need to be really careful with those. We need to swap berries, onion and hidden spinach for lettuce, carrot, peeled cucumber and zucchini, pear, red delicious apples, bananas and the occasional piece of mango. Avocado is already the hardest thing to give up, but hopefully it’s just for a short time. We have salads or veggies at least twice, usually three times a day, to make sure everyone gets enough.
