Food Allergies

Food allergies are among the most misunderstood and neglected aspects of health and wellness in our country.  It is estimated that anywhere from 25% to 60% of the population has some kind of food related immune or non-immune reaction.  Often there is confusion between the different types of food allergies, and many times a food intolerance is misdiagnosed as an allergy, which can lead to even more confusion with the treatment.  Food allergies can be present in many conditions; they manifest in digestive problems, anxiety, fatigue, arthritis, hives, migraines, skin problems, ear infections, accelerated pulse and many other symptoms.  Food allergies and intolerances can create eating disorders in susceptible individuals.

While more than 160 foods can cause allergic reactions in people,
their are eight foods that account for 90% of reactions.  These eight
foods include milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts,
peanuts, wheat, and soybeans.

Cheryl offers food allergy testing to asses Delayed Onset Food
Allergies, which may cause symptoms from 2 hours to 4 days later. She
uses this test as a means of fine-tuning your diet so you can get the
most customized nutrition plan possible.

I can not remember a time in the past five years when I did not get a stomachache after the majority of meals I ate. I tried to stay away from unhealthy foods (i.e. french fries, pizza) but it didn't seem to matter. People told me to see a doctor but I didn't really feel that there was anything he/she could do and I didn't feel like going through a million tests for no reason..

Finally, a friend of mine told me that she had a great nutritionist who was really easy to talk to and very knowledgeable, Cheryl Fawn. I went to see Cheryl and she really made me feel comfortable about my stomach issues. I could tell that she really understood what I was going through. Cheryl administered a food allergy test and put me on an elimination diet. After a short while, it became clear that I had an intolerance to dairy products. Since this realization, I have cut dairy out of my diet and have not had a stomach ache since. I can not thank Cheryl enough, she truly changed my life and I would recommend her nutritional services to anyone.
