Allergy Symptoms or Food Intolerance?
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOOD ALLERGY SYMPTOMS AND FOOD INTOLERANCE SYMPTOMS
An allergy causes a very specific immunological reaction in the body that can be observed and can be diagnosed by various tests. Food intolerance does not cause this type of reaction and cannot be tested for in the same way. This lack of a specific immune reaction and inability to test “scientifically” has led some doctors to deny the existence of food intolerance.
Food intolerance – symptoms
Each of the following symptoms and conditions has been found, in some individuals, to be caused by food. Please do not assume that just because your symptom or condition is listed that food is the cause (as I continuously say on this site – consult your doctor). The primary reason for this list is to give you an idea of the overwhelming range of symptoms and illness that can be caused by eating food that is not right for you.
The symptoms list is divided into two sections:
- Mainly physical

Mind, emotions and behaviour




If a butterfly could talk of its experience of changing from a crawling insect into a multi-colored, graceful, flying creation, it would most likely be saying the words I felt in my heart. My healing through the 40 days of juice fasting gave back what drugs took away. Thanks for your support Tom. You were a good friend when I needed one.-Carl Wineberg
At the end of the 17-day fast, a physical problem was gone. My doctor had told me I had a stomach reflex disease and would have to take pills for the rest of my life, but after the fast I no longer had that disease; I was completely healed. Thanks Tom, your books and support was fabulous.-Grace Lang
I have lost over 30 lbs. to date, and have a new look as well as a new outlook on life. Not only did the fasting help me with my physical self, but my spiritual self will never be the same. The books were a total support and read them several times, especially when detoxing and feeling apathetic. I heard you have a new book coming out. Save my email, I want it.-Debbie Ried
On the 27th of August 2001 I began a 30 day juice fast. I didn’t actually plan to do 30 days, it seemed impossible to even think of. I just began and thought I’d see where it went. Now I stand in amazement. You asked what I thought of your books. OUTSTANDING!!!-Gray Hodge
This is the information I have been searching for. So clear, so commons sense, I wonder why I missed it. When I was younger, I was an athlete, but now.... 20 years later, oh no. But, you gave me new vision and inspiration. Second day of my juice fast and my wife is loves the recipe book. I would recommend these books to anyone how needs a life overhaul.-Juan Callion
Looking at Moreno Tuguinay now, I am amazed. The transformation from a sickly man to a beaming, positively hopeful one, free of all those health problems which have plagued him through the years is simply remarkable – and all achieved without taking any drugs, just juice fasting for a month. For a physician trained in conventional medicine, this is an eye opener.-Dr. Clare Lalwet
Claudine Lost 21 lbs. and Healed arm, Spiritual Renewal
The result of the fast was amazing... my arm was healed miraculously. What a joy to feel no more pain.-Claudine
Paul Erwin Lost 12lbs. and Increased Energy
My increased vitality was brought home to me one morning after a nearly sleepless night as an on-call chaplain in our local hospital. Normally, I would have been exhausted, but instead I had an energetic and fulfilling day.-Paul Erwin
Brian Chason Lost 28 lbs. and Increased Enegy and Stamina
During the process I learned a few things, some of which I put into practice.
Some of the changes that have taken place include clearer sinuses from a reduction in milk; a weight loss of 28 pounds, with eight inches lost from my waist. I really enjoy looking at myself in the mirror now!-Brian Chason
Elaine Harrison Lost 40 lbs. and Healed Stiffness in the Spine.
Specialists had told me that ” full flexibility could not be restored to the spine,” but after five days of fasting I could bend from my waist. Since I broke that fast, I have lived a hygienic-vegetarian diet for the last five years.-Elaine Harrison
Elizabeth Davidson Healed a Raspy Throat, Drug Addiction, Cancer of the Cervix Remission
The fast was ended with a light vegetarian diet. Later I learned she had had cancer of the cervix and tests showed it had gone into remission. Again, fasting had proven its miraculous abilities to cure.-Elizabeth Davidson
