Allergies...?

As my life changes… so shall my blog.

Yesterday I visited a Naturopath because I am one of the many people out there who suffers from headaches and migranes and over the last couple weeks it was getting unbearable. I’ve tried many treatments to help get rid of these suckers such as: Massage, Osteopathic treatment, Chiropractic treatment, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture… and while all of these were great and helped my body and life in their own way, they never completely got rid of my headaches. So when my Chiro suggested I see a Naturopath to determine if I had any food intolerance’s I jumped on the idea. And I’m just lucky that my extended medical covers it!!

So after an hour long appointment discussing my headache history, intensities and doing this electro test thing.. my Naturopath came to the conclusion that my body doesn’t tolerate the following:  GREEN & BLACK TEA, TOMATOES, and WHEAT!!  Now I’ve never been a lover of tomatoes but to know that when I do toss that ketchup on my fries I’m really hurting my body… that’s going to be a big step for me. And honestly, I drink green or black tea daily… like 5 times a day daily!! So that’ll be another challenge. I’m just glad to hear that my herbal teas are okay … And of course everyone knows that wheat is in everything, so to be quite honest, I’m waiting until after the holidays to eliminate that from my diet so I can still enjoy my  moms turkey stuffing and goodies galore!! *blush*

I guess it’s hard to know exactly what our body is telling us all the time and I’m just really glad I was fortunate enough to obtain the services of my Naturopath. And now I can start seeing if some of these food intolerance’s are linked to my headaches and migranes. I’ll let you know how it goes! Bye for now.
