Food Intolerances

 Anyone suffer with food intolerance?? 🙋🏽‍♀️

Yeah - me too 😤
...
It's bizarre how the foods we once loved can become our very worse nightmare.
I have found that over the years I have had to cut more and more foods out of my diet due to the inability to process and digest them. 😒
...
It has been proven that your digestive system naturally slows down with age causing your body to produce less enzymes which are required to help break down the food that we eat. There are different types of intolerances such as: wheat, gluten and lactose to name a few. 🤯
...
Other factors that also contribute to food intolerances are; stress, IBS (Irritiable Bowel Syndrome), a lack of a particular enzyme or a sensitivity to additives. 😖
...
Symptoms linked to food intolerances include: stomach cramps/pains, flatulence, heartburn, skin reactions, irritability, diarrhea, nausea and bloating (which is probably the most common one and trust me it's a pain in the bloody a**!) 😂😂
...
There's nothing worse than eating something that you really like then having to suffer the consequences a day or two later. It's unflattering and could be extremely embarrassing at times. 😳
...
So which foods cause intolerances and how can we manage it? 🤔
Dairy, dairy and did I say DAIRY!!, food additives, citrus fruits, alcohol, flavour enhancers, caffeine and the list goes on. The only way to manage it is to eliminate the foods that trigger your symptoms, reduce your portion sizes and read/check food labels for additives such as MSG, sulfites and colorings.
