Autism Treatment - Food Allergy Testing

Autism Treatment - Food Allergy Testing
by Dr. Kurt Woeller

test gives you information on true food allergies but will not give you information on
other foods that may be problematic for you. IgE reactions are more classic allergic
responses like hives, itching, runny nose and eyes, and in severe cases, anaphylactic
reactions. For example, the person who reacts to the peanuts and has a life
threatening reaction. But, an IgG test can pick up on some of those other foods that
cause your body to produce an IgG chemical reactions. IgG reactions are typically
more mild and can be delayed and so you can have reactions to foods from hours to
days after exposure. You may have fatigue, gas and/or bloating and it can be difficult
to pinpoint.

Other tests out there can look at immune system reactions in general as well. You
can look at other reactions to things besides just IgE and IgG foods. You can look at
chemical sensitivities like for phenols, salicylates, artificial flavors and colors. Some
tests just look at food proteins but other immunological tests can look at more of a
broad range of immune responses not just to foods but also chemicals in foods too.

Recent studies report that children with Autism are four times more likely to have
digestive food allergy reactions that their neurotypical peers. So you can see that
children with Autism often suffer with bowel issues directly related to the foods they
are eating. The more you learn about this issue the more your realize that
inflammation in the gut increases the inflammation in the rest of the body and we
know neurological inflammation is very detrimental to children with Autism. So
knowing what testing is out there is important as is addressing this issue and
removing foods that are causing immune reactions in your child with Autism.

Autism really is treatable! Biomedical Autism treatments and therapies have resulted
in many, many children improving, or even even losing their autism-spectrum
disorder diagnosis. For lots more free biomedical autism intervention information and

The issue with food sensitivity is a big
one for children on the spectrum. And
because it impacts children of various
ages and ethnicities, it cannot be
pinpointed easily in just one group.
However, we also see this in adults
as well and we are seeing more
people with intolerances to different
foods. Wheat is a common allergen
as well as dairy and soy but other
things can be problematic as well and
testing can be challenging.

There is not just one test that can tell
you what you need to know in
regards to food intolerances. An IgE
