Food allergies and sensitivities can be treated several different ways. The following 3 treatments work well and can have you feeling better soon.

1. Food Elimination

Elimination of the food from your diet is the best form of treatment. If it is done completely it often can eventually lead to eventual tolerance of the food, except in instances of fixed food allergies, which must never be eaten. Careless, halfhearted, or partial avoidance can, in some people, lead to increased sensitivity. It is also best to avoid artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives.

2. Rotation Diet

A Rotation Diet is one in which you rotate the foods you eat on a four day plan. Ideally, you will totally eliminate all the foods that you are allergic to and then rotate the foods you do eat. Practically, eliminate foods that you are allergic to as much as possible, then rotate the foods you do eat as much as possible. Alternate foods are eaten to prevent the development of new allergies.

3. Injections or Drops

Food injections or Food Drops can help control your cravings much as a nicotine patch helps nicotine cravings. This involves being food tested at an allergist’s office. Your treatment injections are made by combining the treatment doses of all allergic foods tested into one small injection. They are individually made for each patient. The drops are made of the the same extract, but you use these at home. A couple of drops of the sweet tasting liquid is placed under the tongue each day or upon exposure.

With treatment, most patients improve steadily and in some cases, very quickly. It depends on sensitivity and which treatment you choose.
