Sinusitis and Food Allergies, Congestion and Food Allergies, Mucous and Food Allergies

Sinusitis is an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses. The sinuses should be filled with air. But when sinuses are blocked and get full of fluid, germs like bacteria, viruses and fungi grow and cause an infection. Sinusitis symptoms can be facial pain & pressure, nasal stuffiness, nasal discharge, loss of smell, headaches, and cough and congestion.

Food allergies, food intolerances and chemical sensitivities can contribute to the immune response that causes the inflammation which causes sinusitis. When a trigger food is eaten, the body will react like it is an invader. The result of this battle to destroy the invader is “allergic” symptoms like a runny rose, sinusitis, mucous and congestion, or a cough. This response can be a delayed reaction to the food ingested. For instance the allergic food may be ingested for dinner and the reaction occurs in the morning and the symptoms last for hours or for days.

Asthma and Food Allergies

Asthma is a condition that affects around 3-4% of the population. Asthma occurs when there are “triggers” which cause swelling of the tissues to the air passages of the lungs which causes breathing difficulties. Symptoms of asthma are wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Asthma & Respiratory problems can be triggered by food allergies, food intolerance, preservatives, a chemical sensitivity, the environment and more. When these “triggers” are discovered and eliminated the quality of life is enhanced and asthma relief achieved.

Benefits of our food allergy / food intolerance / chemical sensitivity tests: discover the triggers for frequent sinusitis, frequent mucous and congestion and colds, improve asthma & respiratory symptoms, reduce breathing problems, and learn the cause of asthma symptoms.
