Food-Tracker for Hidden Allergies Lisa Russell

Many people have discovered their food allergies by tracking the reactions they have to different foods in a personal health journal. Your rash could be a symptom of food allergies. Other symptoms include swelling or itching in the mouth, itching, hives and eczema, wheezing and nasal congestion or trouble breathing, swelling of the tongue, throat, lips or other body parts, abdominal pain ot flatulence, diarrhea, vomiting or nausea, fainting, lightheadedness and dizziness. Food allergies can cause all manner of wild symptoms but unless you have medical insurance that will test you for everything, it might be difficult to detect a food allergy. Use this food-tracking journal to monitor what you've eaten and what reactions you've had. The sooner you figure it out, the sooner you'll feel better. Also, see a doctor. But this helps too.
