Food Sensitivities

     
      The most common food products to which sensitivity develops are grains (e.g., wheat, rye, oats) and dairy products (e.g. milk, cheese, whey), considered by many people as allergies in that the immune system is overreacting to certain substances.      
     These sensitivities may cause problems such as: headaches, stomachaches, feelings of nausea, bed-wetting, appearing 'spaced out,' stuttering, excessive whining and crying, sleeping problems, hyperactivity, aggression, sound sensitivity, temper tantrums, fatigue, depression, intestinal problems , muscle aches and ear infections .
     
     If you think you may have a food sensitivity, your Naturopath can perform a VEGA test. This is a painless test carried out by using a probe that is rubbed against your fingernail.
