Leaky gut is one theory but it would cause a food intolerance (delayed
allergy) which I assume your husband has? Did he have an ELISA, Alcat???
Of course many doctors don't believe there is such a thing as a delayed food
allergy. You are either allergic (anaphylactic shock, etc.) or you are not.
I personally bloat up horribly from pork, beef, buffalo, lamb and more plus
retain fluid. Some doctors would not call that an allergy or even believe in
leaky gut. Those that do believe in leaky gut say it is caused by fungal
and/or bacterial overgrowth "poking holes in your gut" which then allows
larger than normal food particles to slip through causing the reaction.
I used to get the ELISA test, did the rotation, etc. then read the article
below. I stopped getting tested after reading this.

I hope this helps.

Subject: Food allergy question
Apologies if this has been discussed at length on the list and I
missed it:
My husband just got a blood test back that said he was allergic to the
strangest things (eggs, pineapple, pinto beans) -- things he really
likes and never would've expected! I'm considering having it done too
after I've been on pemmican for a while. Just out of curiosity.
My question to the group is: why do people have food allergies? One
would think that if a one size fits all "pemmican and water" diet
cured all ills that everyone's allergies would be the same. But they
wouldn't bother doing testing if everyone was allergic to all the same
thing, would they? What's the underlying mechanism that determines
what foods we are or aren't allergic to? Blood type? Genes? Ideas?
TIA
