Thus, when the food is consumed, antibodies (the immune system response to foreign bacteria or toxins) flood the
body with substances such as histamine that cause allergic symptoms, which can turn up anywhere in the
body, including the respiratory system, intestinal tract, or skin.13 Essentially, negative reactions to food associated with a full -
blown allergy, or even a less
severe sensitivity, stress the adrenal glands and immune system and can cause seemingly unconnected issues later on in life.14
