cause an allergic reaction or an intolerance response. Allergic reactions can happen with many different types of foods, but research and studies of food allergies report problems with some foods more often and consistently than others. . .
(Apples) - There are some people who have an allergic response when eating certain foods- particularly, fruits and vegetables. Some people can even develop blisters or rashes after eating these foods. Others may just experience a tingling sensation or feel stuffed up or headache symptoms. Different types of foods can cause these adverse reactions - they include ( apples, passion fruit , and pineapples). The negative reactions usually happen in people who have a sensitivity to various pollens. Such as ragweed, mugwort, birch and grass to name a few.

( Soy )- Soy is in countless products - including infant formula and "health" foods - Protein bars . . . in fact, if you will stop and read the labels, you will be shocked to see how many things include "Soy" in their list of ingredients. TV Commercials and a massive marketing campaign have led us to believe that it's a miracle food. But non - fermented soy - in all it's forms, is something that we recommend you avoid. Some of the more popular forms of Soy are Soy Milk - Soy Protein Isolate and Tofu. Most Soy is GMO . Soy is loaded with 'Trypsin Inhibitors' which inhibits the action of your digestive system. Soy also has 'Goitrogen' which impairs Thyroid function. Soy contains 'Phytic Acid' which impairs Mineral absorption. Soy also contains 'Phyto Estrogens' which can accumulate in your system - ( Men - Women and Children). An over-abundance of this can lead to other health problems and have negative side-effects. Fermented Soy - is fine and has many healthy benefits. Fermented Soy includes:
(Strawberries) - are one food that commonly spark an allergic reaction. (Strawberries) are in a small group of foods that contain easily measureable amounts of (Oxalates). These substances occur naturally in animals - and plants. But if the Oxalates become too concentrated in your body fluids, they can become crystallized and then begin to cause problems. (Strawberries) also contain (Goitrogens) - another naturally occurring substance that can interfere with the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. (Tomato) - allergies and adverse inflammatory reactions are also very common. Tomatoes are in the nightshade family and if you are allergic to them , you may also have a negative response when eating the other foods in the nightshade family, such as white skinned potatoes - green peppers and eggplant.
You do not have to eat these foods in their pure isolated forms for them to cause problems for you. Many products use cow's milk as an ingredient, for example, and these things can still cause problems for you. Keep in mind that although you may not have an intense allergic response to certain foods, you may have an intolerance to any varying degree with many foods that commonly spark an allergic response.
Food intolerance can manifest itself a few hours or even a few days later. Food intolerance symptoms are often more widespread and cause different types of symptoms than an allergic response. The negative reactions can run the gamut from aches and pains to digestive problems, depression, headaches, fatigue etc. observation of cause and effect and practical use.
