Safe Allergy Foods:
Protecting Your Life Thru
Types Of Alternative Medicine
At first diagnosis, safe allergy foods is the first thing that comes to most people's mind since they are sure the rest of their life is going to have dull, boring or even non-existent food choices. Many types of alternative medicine therefore spend much time and energy trying to convince people that there are still many selections available for their enjoyment. Currently there are more than 11 million people in the United States alone that have been diagnosed with a food allergy. Doctors and researchers are not sure why, but this number is rising faster now than at any other time in recorded history. So, after eating any common allergy trigger food, whether it is an allergy or a food intolerance, symptoms may appear within minutes to a day or more depending on your body's sensitivity levels to the problematic food. Allergy Super FoodsIf you believe you may be one of the people sensitive to a certain food type, and have not to date checked with your doctor about food allergy testing, below is a list of safe allergy foods which have very little to no risk of causing an allergic reaction:Apples and ApplesauceAccording to the Journal Of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, organically grown apples are the #1 super food for an allergy sufferer. Apples contain high amounts of quercetin which helps your body to reduce common allergy symptoms.VegetablesBroccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage all enable the liver and kidneys to help flush toxins out of a distressed system. This helps prevent inflammation which is a result of too many toxins.Rice MilkRice milk is a standard safe allergy food often used as a replacement for almost any allergy. Rice milk is especially beneficial to the dairy allergy sufferer or the lactose intolerant individual.Sweet PotatoSweet potatoes are a nutrient dense powerhouse supplying carotenoids, Vitamin C, potassium, fiber and vitamin B6. All of these help to sustain health by reducing inflammation.LentilsLentils are in the soy family of products so if you are sensitive to soy, double check with your doctor first if you may use this one. Lentils are loaded with iron, protein and folic acid.Quinoa and Tapioca FloursQuinoa is probably the least allergenic of all the grains so it is safe for both wheat and gluten allergies. Quinoa has a very dense texture with a heavy nutty taste. Tapioca is a milder taste which is just slighter sweeter.Lamb or TurkeyFresh or frozen lamb or turkey which is also organically grown is another safe allergy food. Both of these meats are free of all additives. If you are careful where the meat is sourced from, very few people will have any type of reaction from either of these two.Spaghetti SquashSpaghetti squash is part of the winter squash line which means the peel and seed are not edible. Cook by your favorite method (bake, boil, microwave or steam) then cut in half, scoop out the seed and fibers. Scrape the flesh out with a fork and it will peel out like strands of cooked spaghetti.ZucchiniZucchini is part of the summer squash meaning the seeds are edible in this vegetable. Cut off the ends and then slice, dice, shred or whatever your choice. Zucchini can be eaten raw or is very good in a stir-fry.RiceAll forms of rice are allowed but brown rice is much more nutritious than white rice varieties. White rice, during milling, will remove the husk, bran and the germ layer. Each of these do have an important level of nutrients.Each of these above, although they are considered safe allergy foods, will not be 100% safe for every individual. There will always be someone, somewhere that can react to any type of food. If you suspect a mild adverse reaction keep a note of the date, date, amount eaten, reactions noted and what other products you had at the same time. Give this information to your doctor. Some people have found out that they are not actually allergic to the safe allergy food unless it is in combination with something else. By keeping a written log, often inconsistencies like this can be detected.
