The Progression of Multiple Food Intolerances

17/10/2011 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

Micki Rose recently had a very interesting post on her Truly Gluten Free site discussing the depressing progression of food intolerance that will already be familiar to those on very restricted diets, as their food options get ever fewer.

Micki sees a possible answer in strengthening the barriers (the gut wall barrier being the first but the blood brain barrier, the skin barrier, the lung barrier etc all being possible targets for strengthening) that should prevent unwanted proteins reaching parts of the body that they were never intended to reach.

For those of you who find such a scenario hard to credit, you might wish to read some of the stories on the Foods Matter site by those who have, or do, suffer from total food intolerance: John Scott who found a way out through helminthic therapy (Total food intolerance and Wriggling out of food intolerance); Isobel’s existence on infant formula (although Isobel too has now found a very much greater degree of tolerance via helminthic therapy); Anna Locatelli who is reduced to foraging for fresh foods from the hedgerows and who is also dramatically affected by environmental chemicals and Annabel Senior who finally died of starvation as she ran out of things she could eat….

FSA – on the allergy case

You might well have thought that COVID concerns had taken over all branches of government activity – but not so. The Foods Standards Agency, while noting the issues, has refused to be distracted from its Food Hypersensitivity work. What is also good to realise – although I suspect that few do – is that all …

Homeopathy – a second string to our vaccination bow?

Cuba has always had a very individualistic– and on the whole very successful – approach to public and population health. The hard line socialist nature of their politics, especially in early days after the revolution, resulted in very high levels of education and medical care – but also in isolation from much of the developed …

Sad, sad news

Yesterday evening, Lisa Acton – co founder, with her husband John Burke, of the Irish FreeFrom Food Awards – finally lost a long and heroic battle with cancer. To my regret I had only met her a few times. A couple of years ago when John brought the whole family to a FreeFrom Food Awards …

Are COVID vaccines safe for those with allergies?

Allergy reactors are, understandably, worried as to whether they should accept a vaccination if and when it is offered. After consultation with the BSACI (British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology) the MHRA (Medicines  and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) have updated their original warning that those with allergies to vaccines, drugs and food should not …

Disastrous Brexit fallout for medical cannabis users

Thanks to the tireless campaigning of a group of  ‘epilepsy mothers’, lead by Hannah Deacon, the mother of Alfie Dingley, and her consultant, neurologist Professor Mike Barnes, a change in the law in 2018 allowed the prescription of medical cannabis for children with certain rare types of epilepsy, those in chronic pain and for those …

The trouble about gluten-free oats

Oats are delicious – oats are nutritious – they contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and are an excellent source of fibre – they do not contain the protein gliadin, the gluten fraction that coeliacs need to avoid – they add texture to gluten free baking and are easy to cook with. Few …
