Wegamed machine Test Expert Plus & food intolerance: helping identify and treat this condition.
The Wegamed machine Test Expert Plus is a cost-effective, fast, safe, and accurate way of gathering information about the body. Foods and allergens can be tested to see which ones may be disturbing the body and which ones are not. Patients consistently see clinical improvements when they eliminate foods and allergens which have been identified with the Wegamed machine Test Expert Plus. The machine can also assess the function of every single organ and body part, as well as imbalances and deficiencies.
Food intolerance is caused by leaky gut syndrome due to inflammatory changes in the lining of the intestine that enable allergic particles of food to pass through the gut wall and cause release of inflammatory chemicals (cytokines and histamines). These cause symptoms such as colic, migraine and dermatitis. Leaky gut syndrome is also known as dysbiosis from ancient Greek dys (bad) and bios (life).
Food intolerance can be implicated in Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, and dermatitis. For example, a child with eczema may be sensitive to eggs and/or milk. Migraine can be associated with sensitivity to milk, wheat, coffee, and chocolate and with sensitivity to tyramine rich foods such as cheese and red wine. Premenstrual fluid retention can be made worse by wheat, yeast, salt, and milk. Intestinal candidiasis (fungal infection) is associated with intolerance to yeast and sugar (1).
Mental illness can be associated with intolerances to certain foods such as milk, eggs, coffee, and white flour (2).
While it is helpful to identify and exclude poorly tolerated foods, it is also important to treat the associated leaky gut syndrome. Causes of leaky gut syndrome include inflammatory bacteria, fungi (candida) and microparasites (e.g. Giardia Lamblia). Dental mercury poisoning is a major underlying cause of dysbiosis and when implicated should be treated.
Bacterial dysbiosis can be treated with probiotics and prebiotics selected under Wegamed machine control (Test Expert Plus). Probiotics are supplements of healthy intestinal microflora such as acidophilus and prebiotics are supplements of anti-inflammatory soluble microfibre such as inulin. Fungus and microparasite infections are also identified and treated naturopathically by using the Vega machine.
