Ancient man, the hunter-gatherers, lived on meat from the animals they hunted, fish and wild vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds that they gathered. It was not until the agricultural period that began about 12,000 years ago that wheat and other grains were introduced.

If this barrier breaks down gliadin/gluten gets into the blood stream. The immune system reacts to the gliadin/gluten and they become a toxin.

the pleasure of asking Dr. Woeller a few questions, with his permission I'm sharing the questions and answers here.</span></span> </p><p></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color:#006600;">What are the benefits of IgG allergy testing?</span></span></strong></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">IgG testing is useful to determine the likelihood of increased food sensitivity to one or a group of food items. IgG is the most abundant antibody in the bloodstream and when it complexes with a food protein the interaction may stimulate inflammation. IgG is also a protective antibody and so an elevation of IgG against a food is a defense mechanism in the body to prevent perceived adverse reactivity from the immune system. Most food reactions are mediated by chemicals other than IgE (true allergy). Food IgG can be a drain on the immune system as more and more elevated markers to food indicate that the immune system is over-sensitized to a particular food and avoidance of that food is warranted.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#008040;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color:#006600;">Who should be tested and why?</span></span></strong></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">Individuals with chronic illness are good candidates for food IgG testing. Also, individuals with unexplained digestive complaints such as bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhea, and reflux. Other issues such as recurring headaches, fatigue, skin rashes, joint and muscle aches and pains, etc. can often be attributed to food sensitivities.</span></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color:#006600;">Why would someone test positive to a food they are not consuming?</span></span></strong></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">This is called molecular mimicry (MM). MM is when the chemical configuration of one food looks similar to something else. An example is soy protein having cross-sensitivity, i.e. MM with gluten (wheat) and/or casein (dairy).</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"></span></strong></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color:#006600;">What can you tell us about learning issues, speech delay and IgG food allergy's?</span></span></strong></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">There are chemical interactions with food and brain chemistry. Food IgG does cause immune complexing that has the potential to cross-react with tissue cells in the body. If this reaction occurs in the nervous system the potential for speech centers to be affected is a possibility. However, there are other components in food that seem to play a role chemically. Gluten (wheat) and casein (dairy) have certain amino acid sequences (peptides) that look similar to opiate chemicals. It is known that these chemical patterns of gluten (called gluteomorphin) and casein (called caseomorphin) can disturb brain chemistry which may adversely affect speech.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color:#006600;"></span></span></strong></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color:#006600;">What are two important facts everyone should know about IgG allergy testing?</span></span></strong></p><ul><li style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Food IgG is just one aspect of food reactivity in the body. A normal food IgG test does not necessarily indicate that a suspected food is okay to eat, as there are chemical effects of food that may cause problems too, i.e. gluten and casein peptide issue. </li></ul><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><br /></p><ul><li style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Food IgG is classified as sensitivity or intolerance. IgG is not true allergy. IgE is the allergy chemical and what most allergist test for when assessing suspected food or environmental allergens. However, in the vast majority of individuals food IgE is normal, while food IgG reactions are elevated. Again, food IgG can be indicative of ongoing stress on the immune system leading to inflammation formation in the body.</li></ul><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in" align="left"><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:85%;"></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#006600;"><strong>For additional information on allergy testing please watch these two videos below from Dr. Woeller:</strong></span></span> <p></p><ul><li><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><a href="http://www.autismrecoverytreatment.com/autism-treatment-–-food-allergy-testing/"><span style="color:#1f497d;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Food Allergy Testing</b></span></span></span></a><a href="http://www.autismrecoverytreatment.com/autism-treatment-–-food-allergy-testing/"><span style="color:#1f497d;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span></span></span></a></p><li><p align="left"><strong><a href="http://www.autismrecoverytreatment.com/autism-food-allergy-ige-and-sensitivity-igg-testing-–-what-you-need-to-know/"><span style="color:#1f497d;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">What You Need To Know</span></span></span></a></strong><a href="http://www.autismrecoverytreatment.com/autism-food-allergy-ige-and-sensitivity-igg-testing-–-what-you-need-to-know/"><span style="color:#1f497d;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span></span></span><strong><span style="color:#1f497d;"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">about (IgE) and (IgG)</span></span></span></strong></a></p></li></ul><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#006600;"><strong>Did you have IgG testing done or planing on having testing done?

The response can occur over several hours, or days after eating the offending food. Food sensitivities can cause unpleasant symptoms and is associated with a host of chronic conditions including: Celiac Disease, IBS, Colitis, Gastroenteritis, Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, Urticaria, Dermatitis, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ADD, ADHD, Chronic Otitis Media, Recurrent Aphtos Stomatitis, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, among others. </span></span><span style="color:navy;"><span style="color:navy;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;">Unfortunately, we tend to crave and eat the foods to which we are intolerant. Eating these foods everyday can cause sensitivities for us, leading to profound effects on our physical and mental health. The foods that we are intolerant to are usually the foods that cause weight gain, weight loss, digestive disorders, and skin disorders among other ailments. Eating these “reactive” foods over time can have profound long-term effects on our physical and mental health. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;">An ongoing study reveals that 95% of the population has what is known as a Type II toxic reaction or IgG response to common everyday foods that you eat regularly. Unfortunately the foods that cause this toxic shock vary widely according to your individual system. In addition many Type II reactions are delayed reactions, so they are very difficult to detect on your own.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;">Antibodies are known as ‘Immunoglobulins' or “Igs” for short. Each individual has their own unique reaction to foods due to their own particular digestive process, their own history of specific intestinal infections, medications, parasites and their individual diet. As antibodies against the food appear in the blood, it triggers an immune reaction to substances that adversely affect the organism. Over time, these antibodies may form immune complexes, which are deposited in joints and other organs and may be responsible for many of the symptoms that are related to food sensitivity. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><strong><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:#006600;">Facts & "Wows" about Your health!</span></span></b></strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"><br />A Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) article revealed that more than 75% of the money spent on health care is spent on chronic conditions. Current research indicates that a great deal of these chronic conditions are the direct result of food toxicities; easily treatable by simply removing the foods from your diet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;">With more than 270 million people in this country, you will be shocked to learn that more than 2.9 billion prescriptions are written every year, generating more than $131.9 billion for the pharmaceutical companies. Many of these prescriptions mask the conditions caused by food toxicity. And, these prescriptions don't cure the condition, they simply help alleviate the symptoms (pain killers and other symptom-relieving prescriptions).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;">Over 43 million people suffer from arthritis. Arthritic pain is often the result of food toxicity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;">Ear infections cause parents to take their children in for more than 20 million doctor visits - a symptom caused or aggravated by food toxicity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10;">More than 50 million Americans suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (abdominal cramps, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, etc.) this is almost always directly caused by food toxicities.
