Food Allergies - the effects on brain function

[Justmemyownself]

Everyone thinks of food allergies as something that you will see a physical sign for.... but that isn't always the case. There is an artical here regarding Egg allergies. But it doesn't touch on brain allergies, which most people don't know about and can effect you both physically, mentally and emotionally.

I am allergic to corn and egg yolks.... and they are both brain allergies. The biggest response to these allergies is emotional, I mood swing heavily. It also causes me to have anxiety attacks, lack of motivation, tiredness, migraines, and lethargy... all of these things are things that will inhibit weight loss...

There is a high possibility that it could also effect the way my body processes certain key components.

Just thought I would put that out there, since a lot of people actually have food allergies and just don't realize it because they show no outward physical symptoms... if you are suffering from any type of metnal or emotional disorders.... I strongly suggest seeing an allergist. Mine was found completely by the grace of God.

wow. I have never heard of brain allergies. Thanks for the information!

I had never heard of them, either. Wow. It's not something I would have ever thought of.

Never knew about it. Man, it certainly seems wrong to get a brain allergy! I'm hoping I don't have any problems like these, ever.

"Brain allergy" just sounds bad. Although, I guess you could start sneezing around your know-it-all friend and when they ask what's wrong, say, "Sorry, I have a brain allergy."
