to foods are notoriously difficult to track. It is hard to correlate a response to a food when there isn’t an immediate connection, and it takes time for the body to react. To many, it doesn’t seem to make sense that food sensitivity could be the culprit, but it can be. The only true way to determine sensitivity is the elimination of it for at least two weeks, and preferably longer.

The list grows every year, as does the availability of information about new treatment protocols. Again, the patient is the key component in the equation for what the best heath plan will be for each individual. The health plan also needs to reflect what the individual is able, or not able, to do. If a patient is not able to make dietary changes to help control the condition, then there is likely going to be a need for more nutritional supplements and possibly protein-fortified drinks. This will differ from a patient who can handle a nutrient rich diet, likes to juice, eats only organic foods and is willing to eliminate all processed foods.
