Allergies and Intolerances. Recently I found out that what for years I had suffered from was not a allergy as suspected by many, but in fact a type of intense intolerance as suspected by others. Back in 1977 it was very quickly discovered that every time I ate tomatoes I became ill within minutes.

The smaller or more strongly flavored the tomato the more violent the reaction. What happened in 1977 was I ate my very first tomato, unfortunately for me it was a very tasty “cherry” tomato & within minutes my poor mother was helping me hold my self up for the next twenty or so minutes as I regurgitated not only the contents of my stomac but some if not all of the contents of my small intestine.

It is quite a painful & disturbing experience when your upper digestive tract muscles go into reverse while at the same time try to work the right way, & yes you breath a little differently too.\r\n\r\nI know it sounds pretty bad, well it just so happens I love tomatoes so think how I felt when it was learnt the problem existed with all types of tomatoes, I just couldn”t eat them without getting ill, that is until a few years ago.

So what changed, I turned to Traditional Chinese Medicine, a few treatments & change in diet the TCM way got me started on the road to eating tomatoes. That doesn”t mean I don”t have a problem any more I just means I can control it & still be able to eat some of the tomatoes available.

Finding out that my family has a history of thyroid problems was also a big key as this too is linked to the intolerance. Once again TCM to help control this by helping me keep balance in & through my diet (like controlling some forms of diabeties) & in my body. Though allergies can apparently be treated by accupuncture, the most commonly used method in TCM, I did not have any allergy treatments, nor was the treatments I had specifically for my intolerance problem.

It was actually just to bring me back into balance, fixing the intolerance to the point it did was a bonus at the time, one of which I do my best to maintain, I have enough allergy problems without have food problems.’
