Patient Name: __________________________________ Date of service: _____________ DOB: ____________ Gluten Free Dairy Free Egg Free The Real Deal with Food Sensitivities: Food sensitivities, intolerances, and allergies can be confusing. Traditional food allergies are an immune reaction that takes place immediately after a food is consumed. This reaction (typically associated with nuts and shellfish) stimulates IgE antibodies, causing severe symptoms like swelling/hives/anaphylaxis. These allergies can be, but are not always, genetic. Food sensitivities are when symptoms occur 2 to 72 hours after consuming a certain food that stimulates IgG and IgA antibodies. A reaction may include but is not limited to: stomach pain, fatigue, headache, nasal congestion, eczema, gas, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, or bloating. This reaction can occur the first, or tenth time you consume the food depending on your body’s level of inflammation. A sensitivity is often the due to the buildup of repeated exposures, and are often difficult to diagnose without an elimination diet or blood test. Food intolerances exist when your body lacks something essential to digest the food you are eating (i.e lactose intolerant people cannot digest dairy because they lack the lactase enzyme). Intolerances often have similar symptoms to food sensitivities and are difficult to differentiate. Food sensitivities left untreated can cause longlasting damage and autoimmune diseases. So what can we do? The first step that you may or may not have experienced, is finding which foods trigger your specific antibody reactions. This can be performed through a blood test at our office, which can test 96 different foods. Another option is an elimination diet. Elimination diets are less expensive, but involve a lot more guesswork. Either can be effective, depending on how much discipline and time you have. The second step is to eliminate the trigger foods. Strictly eliminating these foods gives the body time to heal and repair from the inflammation it has been experiencing. With inflammation tamed, the body is able to restore cells and normal processing, allowing you to possibly eat a trigger food every once in a while and not experience symptoms. Wouldn’t that be nice?! Below you will find a few tips to help you transition to a food sensitive diet, as well as a grocery list and suggested recipes. You are welcome to go above and beyond these recipes, but they can serve as a starting block for you and your family. Tips and Tricks: Egg Replacers – great for baking! o 2 tbl chia seeds + 6 tbl water = 2 “chia eggs” o 1 tbl ground flax seed + 3 tbl water = 1 “flax egg” Cooking ahead of time o Sweet potatoes typically take a LONG time to bake, but once they’re cooked you can incorporate them into a recipe with ease. Prebaked potatoes are great for breakfast hashes, gnocchi (potato pasta), and muffins. If you know you will be home for a few hours in the evening, bake 24 sweet potatoes at 400 F for an hour or until soft. Do not wrap potatoes in foil, but pierce them with forks and place on baking sheet before baking (they tend to drip sweet goo into your oven if not on a pan). You can also do this with white potatoes. Crock pot meals o Roast, chili, pulled pork… these are all meals that serve several people and can be made VERY healthy while you are gone or busy during the day. Getting Rid of bread o For many people, bread is the most difficult thing to eliminate (especially for packing lunches!). Instead of switching to a gluten free bread (which often still has eggs or dairy in it), opt for these: Using Butter lettuce leaves for lettuce wraps Wrapping sandwich goods in the sliced meat itself Plain or lightly salted rice cakes (these work well for nut butters)

The  Real  Deal  with  Food  Sensitivities:     Food  sensitivities,  intolerances,  and  allergies  can  be  confusing.  Traditional  food  allergies  are  an  immune  reaction  that  takes  place  immediately  after  a  food  is  consumed.  This  reaction  (typically  associated  with  nuts  and  shellfish)  stimulates  IgE  antibodies,  causing  severe  symptoms  like  swelling/hives/anaphylaxis.  These  allergies  can  be,  but  are  not  always,  genetic.  Food  sensitivities  are  when  symptoms  occur  2  to  72  hours  after  consuming  a  certain  food  that  stimulates  IgG  and  IgA  antibodies.  A  reaction  may  include  but  is  not  limited  to:  stomach  pain,  fatigue,  headache,  nasal  congestion,  eczema,  gas,  cramping,  diarrhea,  constipation,  heartburn,  or  bloating.  This  reaction  can  occur  the  first,  or  tenth  time  you  consume  the  food  depending  on  your  body’s  level  of  inflammation.  A  sensitivity  is  often  the  due  to  the  buildup  of  repeated  exposures,  and  are  often  difficult  to  diagnose  without  an  elimination  diet  or  blood  test.  Food  intolerances  exist  when  your  body  lacks  something  essential  to  digest  the  food  you  are  eating  (i.e  lactose  intolerant  people  cannot  digest  dairy  because  they  lack  the  lactase  enzyme).  Intolerances  often  have  similar  symptoms  to  food  sensitivities  and  are  difficult  to  differentiate.       Food  sensitivities  left  untreated  can  cause  long-­‐lasting  damage  and  autoimmune  diseases.  So  what  can  we  do?  The  first  step  that  you  may  or  may  not  have  experienced,  is  finding  which  foods  trigger  your  specific  antibody  reactions.  This  can  be  performed  through  a  blood  test  at  our  office,  which  can  test  96  different  foods.  Another  option  is  an  elimination  diet.  Elimination  diets  are  less  expensive,  but  involve  a  lot  more  guesswork.  Either  can  be  effective,  depending  on  how  much  discipline  and  time  you  have.  The  second  step  is  to  eliminate  the  trigger  foods.  Strictly  eliminating  these  foods  gives  the  body  time  to  heal  and  repair  from  the  inflammation  it  has  been  experiencing.  With  inflammation  tamed,  the  body  is  able  to  restore  cells  and  normal  processing,  allowing  you  to  possibly  eat  a  trigger  food  every  once  in  a  while  and  not  experience  symptoms.  Wouldn’t  that  be  nice?!  Below  you  will  find  a  few  tips  to  help  you  transition  to  a  food  sensitive  diet,  as  well  as  a  grocery  list  and  suggested  recipes.  You  are  welcome  to  go  above  and  beyond  these  recipes,  but  they  can  serve  as  a  starting  block  for  you  and  your  family.    Tips  and  Tricks:

• Cooking  ahead  of  time  o Sweet  potatoes  typically  take  a  LONG  time  to  bake,  but  once  they’re  cooked  you  can  incorporate  them  into  a  

recipe  with  ease.  Pre-­‐baked  potatoes  are  great  for  breakfast  hashes,  gnocchi  (potato  pasta),  and  muffins.  If  you  know  you  will  be  home  for  a  few  hours  in  the  evening,  bake  2-­‐4  sweet  potatoes  at  400  F  for  an  hour  or  until  soft.  Do  not  wrap  potatoes  in  foil,  but  pierce  them  with  forks  and  place  on  baking  sheet  before  baking  (they  tend  to  drip  sweet  goo  into  your  oven  if  not  on  a  pan).    You  can  also  do  this  with  white  potatoes.

you  are  gone  or  busy  during  the  day.    • Getting  Rid  of  bread

§ Using  Butter  lettuce  leaves  for  lettuce  wraps  § Wrapping  sandwich  goods  in  the  sliced  meat  itself  § Plain  or  lightly  salted  rice  cakes  (these  work  well  for  nut  butters)

Keep  in  mind  that  corn  is  a  grain,  not  a  

vegetable.  Be  careful  not  to  overdo  it!  

Avocados  are  fruits  full  of  

GOOD  fat,  and  keep  you  

fuller,  longer,  when  

incorporated  into  your  

meals  

When  picking  meats,  look  for  organic,  grass  fed  varieties  made  without  nitrates,  antibiotics,  or  hormones.  These  are  the  most  nutritious,  and  least  harmful  animal  products.

School  lunches  are  all  about  convenience  and  variety!  This  is  why  the  sandwich  has  traditionally  reigned  supreme.  However,  it’s  easy  to  make  sandwich  free  lunches  with  the  right  preparation.  Mommy  food  blogs  and  Pinterest  will  be  very  helpful  when  your  child  needs  a  little  more  variety  than  what  is  listed  above.    The  key  is  to  get  something  from  each  category  (starch  +  protein,  vegetable,  and  fruit)  to  ensure  that  your  child  has  enough  nutrients  to  function  correctly,  not  to  mention  stay  full  until  they  come  home  at  the  end  of  the  day.     The  lunches  pictured  above  may  look  different  from  you  average  school  lunch.    These  are  great  examples  of  healthy  lunches.  A  separated  container,  to  pack  lunches  “bento  box”  style,  can  be  very  helpful  when  you  get  out  of  the  sandwich  world.  The  multi-­‐compartment  containers  are  fairly  reasonable  in  price,  and  packs  of  4  can  be  found  for  $14.00  on  Amazon  (they  may  be  easy  to  find  in  stores  also).  You  can  pack  each  lunch  item  in  a  separate  container  if  you  don’t  want  to  invest  in  multi-­‐compartment  containers.      A  Note  About  New  Foods:     If  you  are  thinking,  “my  child  doesn’t  like  any  of  those  vegetables,”  the  key  is  try,  try,  trying  them  repeatedly.  In  a  2010  article  in  the  Appetite  research  journal,  it  was  found  that  elementary  school  children  who  reported  disliking  certain  vegetables  ended  up  liking  them  after  tasting  them  9-­‐10  times.  When  it  comes  to  food,  it  is  not  your  job  as  a  parent  to  cater  to  your  child’s  likes  and  dislikes  (although  you  feel  extra  nice  when  you  can!).  It  is  your  job  to  make  sure  they  are  well  nourished.  It  might  take  a  little  bit  of  “tough  love”  to  install  the  good  healthy  eating  habits.  If  the  only  food  available  to  them  is  nutritious  food,  they  will  eat  it.  Some  take  longer  than  others,  and  having  the  entire  family  eat  nutrient  dense  food  is  the  best  way  to  set  an  example  for  food  sensitive  or  food  intolerant  children.        *G/D/EF  =  Gluten  free,  Dairy  free,  Egg  free

   Desserts,  as  well  as  fruit  juice,  are  best  kept  in  moderation.  Although  you  may  be  able  to  find  these  ‘once  in  a  while’  treats  without  gluten,  dairy,  or  eggs,  they  still  contain  sugar,  which  causes  inflammation  in  your  body.  We  do  however,  understand  the  mental/emotional/social  need  for  the  occasional  cookie!
