Studies have revealed a close link between food-specific antibodies (produced by the body’s immune system) and symptoms of food intolerance.
In normal circumstances, these antibodies combine with proteins in the food to form complexes, which are then eliminated by the immune system. However, if the immune system is overwhelmed or over-worked, then complexes can accumulate and produce symptoms of food intolerance.
Often, the symptoms appear a while after eating the offending food, which makes it very difficult to pinpoint which foods could be causing the symptoms. A diet that eliminates the problem foods (strong and moderate intolerance) will often be enough to prevent the onset of symptoms.
