Some times these responses are delayed which makes pinning them down difficult. Interesting aspect of food sensitivities is over time the inflammation left behind will reduce HCL production in the gut. This is the person who develops a need for the use of Tums, Rolaids and ant acids, they literally ate themselves into this condition. This also creates an opportunity for weakened connective tissue in the gut to allow food particles to enter the bloodstream before they should be there, this is known as Leaky Gut Syndrome and can be a major contributor to all the auto immune problems we hear about today. It stimulates immune system responses, over and over, this aggravated immune system begins attacking viable tissue.
