WHY am I testing for food sensitivites?
Food sensitivities can make a person feel sick because of immune reactions to food and food additives. This is applicable to anyone looking to improve their physical appearance and/or performance because reactions such as this are an immune response and will lead to excess cortisol and inflammation in the body.
Eating foods you are sensitive to will cause bloating, indigestion, gas, and poor/slow digestion.
I will take you through my list of foods with proposed food sensitivities:
1) COLA – this is a weird one. I NEVER drink cola but this one offers the largest/worst reaction potential for me. It is listed as my only “RED” food. Meaning stay away!!
2) Blueberries – This could have to do with my eating a large amount of blueberries in my morning smoothies for the 2 weeks prior to the test. However, because the levels are so high, that may not be the case.
3) Celery – I hate celery. Never eat it. Thank god I’m allergic. Haha
4) CHICKEN – yup, chicken. Not a full blown allergy, but definitely a sensitivity. I called this one. The truth is I can eat 20oz of Beef, NO problem, I’m still hungry when I’m done. I try 6-8oz of chicken and I feel like I swallowed a watermelon.
I’ve started using turkey breast instead.
5) Coffee – I’m not a coffee drinker, but damn I love the smell. From time to time during contest prep I will have a coffee cause it’s a calorie free beverage that isn’t loaded with crappy sweeteners.
6) Eggplant – never eat it.
7) Grapefruit – Damn! I enjoy grapefruit and grapefruit juice. Ah well.
8) Grapes – I haven’t really eaten grapes since I was a kid. From time to time in the offseason I will have a few postworkout. Guess that’s done!
9) LEMON – Ahhhhh! My morning drink of choice. Lemon water. Lemons didn’t show a huge reaction but its recommended I cut them out for a month or so anyway.
10) Tomato – I do eat salsa and organic ketchup from time to time. This is gonna be a hard one to cut out offseason. WTH am I supposed to use as a condiment? Haha. I only use mustard pre contest.
***The only grain I Show very bad reactivity to is amaranth, which I am pretty sure I have never eaten in my life.
**I do have a known full reaction to gluten so I avoid it altogether. The reason that wouldn’t show up in this test is because this is testing for allergy mediators present in the blood. Full allergy markers are present inside the cells of muscle etc.
There are a few others that show reactivity but nothing I ever consume.
BPAK,
Interesting results for you.
Im in Australia and we dont have access to the MRT as yet i dont think.
No doubt the best test available in your opinion?

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thank you!
This webpage was put into my own favorites. I can’t wait to learn even more about this subject.
This is a great write-up. I am about to take more time researching this issue.
If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high trigylcerides, grapefruit has been found to reduce the effects of these conditions.So which is better yellow or red grapefruit? Well, in a study made where people who had a history of high cholesterol, those that ate the red grapefruit had the most effect in lower their blood pressure. The yellow also lowered blood pressure but not as much as the red grapefruit.”
Warm regards

Sounds very similar to blood group sensitivities
I find i actually have an allergy to some kind if preservative which is in some supps and foods i have isolated it to a preserve because i tried a new intra workout witch contained the same ingredients as my usual just had more artificial flavourings ect made me real sick.
Ben im curious.. what blood type are you ?? I started working with blood type diets in my programs 2 years ago and it has definitely paid off… im assuming you’re blood type B, am i right ? Thanks!
I like what you guys are up too. This sort of clever work and exposure! Keep up the amazing works guys I’ve added you guys to my blogroll.|
