Finding Relief from Food Sensitivities

Holistic and integrative health is built on the foundation of finding the cause and treating the root issue, instead of the symptoms.

But sometimes relief is needed as soon as we can get it.

This is especially the case with digestive issues, as symptoms can strike at any moment from food, stress, or other triggers. This can result in ongoing anxiety for many, as they know that their digestive issues can occur unexpectedly and unannounced, causing bloating, heartburn, diarrhoea, constipation, and more.

Are Food Sensitivities The Cause?

Up to 1 in 3 Australians experience digestive issues regularly, and food sensitivities remain one of the most common reasons for those uncomfortable digestive symptoms.

There are many steps that can be taken to reduce food reactivity and improve digestion. Here are a few suggestions if you suspect food sensitivities are the root cause of your digestive issues.

1. Identify Food Sensitivities – Your healthcare professional can advise you on testing your IgG food antibodies (usually a finger prink or blood draw test) to help you identify what food sensitivities you may have. Alternatively, they may help you with a food rotation diet where you record your symptoms after consuming certain food groups.
2. Remove Reactive Foods – Once identified, ensure that the highly reactive foods are removed from your diet.
3. Choosing the Correct Foods – It’s usually also a good idea to consume the least reactive (and healthy) foods regularly.
4. Choosing the Right Supplements – Make sure the supplements you choose are pure and high quality to ensure you are not reacting to any excipients or fillers, or unnecessary ingredients you don’t need.

Enterosgel – Relief from Digestive Issues

Even with our best efforts, sometimes digestive symptoms are unavoidable.

Binders are a special type of supplement that can sponge up any harmful compounds in the digestive tract without any further interaction with the body or other nutrients. Enterosgel is one such gel based binder that can assist with a range of issues – from food sensitivities to IBS.

Enterosgel can help support food sensitivities in multiple ways:

• Ease symptoms
• Remove irritants
• Reduce the impact of chemicals, mould and other compounds on the digestive tract
• Provide a soothing effect to the gut lining

Enterosgel can not only provide ongoing detoxification and soothing effects if taken consistently but can also be used symptomatically, meaning right when the symptoms occur. It can quickly enter the digestive system and adsorb any undesirable compounds before removing them via the digestive tract.
