"Hi, I'm Dr. Tammy Ruefli on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to talk to you about food allergies and how to deal with them. Once you have determined what foods are causing you these food allergies or food sensitivities it is vital that you stay away from them. At least for a couple of weeks, you can try the substitutes that we mentioned earlier but it is also vital that you take digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes are already naturally occurring in the body, they are the catalyst of many chemical reactions, including digestion. Enzymes become depleted when we eat too many refine processed foods. They also get depleted when you are under a lot of stress so taking these enzymes replenishes and aides the body. Enzymes especially digestive enzymes are easily obtained and capsule form, you can find them at your local health food store. There are so many different types, if enzymes are not the only kind and I would recommend that you research the different types of enzymes that you can use for inflammation and such as hives or muscle soreness."
