Casein is the main protein found in milk, but do not confuse milk-free with protein-free as casein is found in products other than milk, such as: yogurt and ice cream and in many baked goods and other unexpected places as canned tuna.
Food Reactions:
the antibodies that result from traditional food allergies are IgE antibodies which trigger the release of histamine.
the antibodies that result from food sensitivity are IgG antibodies and this reaction is delayed to 2 or 3 days.
the reactions are different and the testing is different.
IgE reactions are fast and obvious, we are all familiar with these traditional allergies ,
a person eats foods and develops wheezes, a person with peanut allergy can develop severe allergic reactions and life threatening symptoms after eating peanut.
cause and effect of this reactions are easy to figure out because the reactions occur very quickly.
these reactions do not have a direct negative effect on the brain
while people may become irritated from wheezing and rashes but not from effect of the food on the brain.
the most common foods that provoke these reactions are:
milk, eggs, peanut, tree nuts, fish, soy and wheat.
IgG sensitivity may result in physical symptoms similar to allergies but also have behavioral or developmental symptoms,
milk wheat, soy, corn
symptoms of food sensitivity and food intolerance :
general symptoms:fatigue, food cravings.
skin:eczema, rash
Digestions;
stomach ache, loose stool or diarrhea, constipation
respiratory: mucous production, congestion
immune reactions
CVS: abnormal pulse, elevated BP
neuorologic: headache, tingling , dizziness
psychological : depression , mood disorders, anxiety
behavioral: ADHD symptoms, ASD symptoms
food breakdown into small parts,
protein to AA
fats to FA
carb to simple sugars
these foods allowed to cross intestinal lining to the blood and then to the brain
the lining of the intestine if healthy prevents these foods form going out to the blood stream until they have been fully digested.
similar to window screen allow good air but not allow flies
when intestinal lining is damaged allow this food(large molecules) to enter blood stream like holes in the window screens letting in bugs
(LEAKY GUT)
ADHD and ASD children have problems with their intestinal lining
during digestions not all of the AA digested, residues of short chains AA called peptides , the body consider peptides which leak into the blood stream as foreign and may cross the brain and send abnormal signals which mainly responsible for ASD and ADHD behavioral symptoms.
celiac dis:
medical disorder in which gluten is not tolerated
intake of gluten results in autoimmune reactions
the body recognizes the cells in the lining of the small intestine as foreign and reacts against them
this changes the anatomy of the intestinal lining and makes it leaky
it may be presents in some of ASD and ADHD children
its ttt is 100% restriction of gluten not only 99%
if present and not treated for years the risk of other autoimmune diseases increase as lupus or rheumatoid
test of celiac dis mush be done before starting elimination of gluten.
many people suffer form gluten sensitivity and negative for celiac, these people also are intolerant to lactose and soy
learn about opiate like peptides resulting from poor digestion of gluten, casein and soy and may result to many behavioral symptoms in children with ADHD and ASD
the child response to elimination of food is better than any blood test.
"elimination and challenge"
to test whether you have intolerance from certain food eliminate it for a period, there will be obvious and strong reaction if the food is reintroduced in those who have intolerance from it.
