Leptin ResistanceFood Intolerances / AllergiesA very common side-effect of Leptin Resistance and Inflammation is that the inflammation often triggers food intolerances and allergies. These food intolerances trigger many health conditions like asthma, bronchitis and leaky gut syndrome and very often cause various aches and pains, like fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy. When you eat food that you are intolerant to, the body reacts by attacking the food as a foreign substance. In the process, it also attacks our own tissues, which causes many health problems and symptoms. Many people are sensitive or intolerant to various foods that are commonly eaten and they don’t even know it. These foods may even be favourite foods that are eaten on a regular basis. People with food sensitivities exhibit a wide variety of symptoms including fatigue, digestive disorders (constipation, diarrhoea, flatulence, heartburn, burping, bloating), water retention, food cravings, headaches and migraines, skin rashes and eczema, sinus infections, nasal congestion, ear throat infections, ADD, ADHD, tantrums, irritability, bed-wetting, asthma, constantly clearing throat, muscle aches, and much more. Food intolerances cause weight gain by triggering water retention and food cravings. Your body reacts to the presence of the intolerant food by releasing chemicals like histamines and cortisol that increase sodium intake resulting in water retention and bloating. High Cortisol levels also increase abdominal fat storage. Complicated chemical reactions in the body also trigger strong food cravings for the very food you are intolerant of, which in turn causes weight gain. By eliminating food you are intolerant to from your diet, you help your body to start to heal itself and the leaky gut that is causing the problem, as well as the Leptin Resistance. This also supports your liver, which can then focus on the important job of metabolizing fat, carbohydrates and protein instead of fighting to detoxify your body of the toxins caused by the offending food. This in turn increases the liver’s ability to re-program itself from a fat-storer to a fat-burner. Drinking lots of filtered water and herbal teas is a considerable help to the liver in the detoxification process. Return to Leptin Resistance Page...

"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing all of your thorough research on what I believe to be my very own physiological dysfunction. My overweight girl friend keeps trying to convince me that we both have a mental problem with food addiction...I know I'm not crazy, and I don't think she is either." ME, United States
"Thank you. I was able to download the books and was so impressed. I became very ill several months ago and have had the drs find all the problems discussed in your books one at a time. I don't feel like a freak now and know that all these problems combined seem to be a syndrome that can be lived with or cured. I was just about to give up and found you by entering the 3 major disorders they had diagnosed me with into a search engine and the link to your site came up. Thank you and God bless." LM, United States
"From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for saving my life. I mean that literally -- I have been been following dr. atkins diet for 25 years and in the past year I thought that I was losing my mind. ... Some one convinced me that the high protein diet might be causing the problem. Through some research, I found you - AND I downloaded your books! Within 3 weeks I am sleeping through the night (2 years without sleep) and my hot flashes are totally gone. I am waking up in the morning and I want to live again!! My friends and fiance cannot believe the change in me. With everything that is in me, I thank you folks SOOOOOOO much. MY brain was lacking so much serotonin!!" DH, Canada
