Allergies & Intolerance

a message from Marika Watanabe this morning

おはようございます　イネス！　まず始めに私の人生を変えてくれてありがとう！今日からはもう微熱の出ない人生です。体調はよくなりました。

私はあなたのブログを読み、細かいアレルギー検査をしてここ一年ずっと微熱に悩まされている原因がわかりました。

あなたの言うとおり食べ物で人生は変わります！私はサラダが食べられません。殆どの野菜にアレルギーがあります・・・なので「青汁」は飲めません・・・そしてお米にもアレルギーがあります！！何で日本人なのでしょう（笑）？　ヒノキアレルギーもあるので「ヒノキ風呂」も入れないです。

そこで食生活を変えて補えないものは繊維質、マルチビタミンとFish oilをサプリメントとして摂取しています。

でも、アレルゲンがわかったので、もうこれで微熱から解放されました！
普通に暮らせます！本当にありがとうございます！　ね？！あなたは私の人生に大きな変化をもたらしました。ほかにもきっと大勢の日本人に！

あなたは宝です！

Good morning Ines,

Thank you so much for all!! You changed my life! Now I can live without fever, even today I already feel much better!! I had detailed allergy tests done lately as you recommended on your blog and found out the reason of me having fever over a year now.

As you say, we can change from what we eat! I cannot eat salad and also most of the vegetables, because it causes me allergy, …..so no AOJIRU for me… and no rice either!!! How come I was born in Japan?! I can’t either bath in HINOKI bath?

I changed my diet and I am taking fibers, multi vitamins and fish oil supplements!

Good news is that yes I had the testing done in Japan, I went to many hospitals but at the end I had it done a clinic near by, by an allergy specialist. In Japan, it’s actually covered by the national health insurance and can test up to once a month if the patient is suffering severely. My result came up as JUUDO, which means severe and we could take further test covered by the insurance. I believe I lot of people who read your blog may be thinking that it may cost a lot. In my case , I didn’t expect it to be that little expensive. The doctor told me not to get close to anything that can cause me allergy and that i will be fine.

However at least I found the cause of my fever and I can live normally now! Thank you so much!! You see, you are making a huge difference in me as well as others! We treasure you!! xo

Good for you Marika! I am happy to know that I made a such a difference into your life! WOW!

Also, for you who have symptoms such as: [bloated tummy, acne, skin rashes, migraines, depression, low energy, fever, constipation and more...]. You should definitely read this. I summarized for you all a little information easy to understand and easy to follow up with.

Go test yourself, trust me it could change your life!

FOOD INTOLERANCE
What is it?
It is a blood test done by your doctor to check your body reaction to many different foods.

Why you should take the test?
Many nutritionists believe that certain foods can set off something called an IgG reaction, which is implicated in irritable bowel syndrome (tummy pain), arthritis, fatigue and eczema. Unlike a food allergy, which is a fast response by the body’s immune system to a perceived invader, a food intolerance develops more slowly and is caused by the body lacking the digestive enzymes to break down particular foods.

What to ask for ?
Unlike food allergy tests, intolerance tests are not available in regular doctor checks at the hospital, but you have to ask for it specifically. Also ask your doctor to run a IgG test, he can do it, I have done it in Japan.

What the results mean?
You found out which foods to avoid from your diet and begin taking digestive enzymes (available from health food stores or on internet). These tests are a great start, I found out I am intolerant to sea-food, white egg, almonds, vanilla and yeast. I ran the tests for my 3 sons and they are all intolerant to a different kind of food. (Luca is intolerant to milk & white egg; Noa to salmon & sesame; Ben to tuna and most sea food, my husband to most veggies and potato!)

What to ask for?
To get the test in Japan:
