Rotating/Changing food allergies

deena · 08-24-2014, 08:31 PM

Over the years I have had a corn allergy and a dairy allergy. Both of which I have recovered from. Now I have a gluten allergy and raw produce allergy. I know two other people who have "changed" allergies. In my opinion this would fall more under the "leaky gut syndrome" category than food allergy but names don't really matter to me when the treatment is the same.

It keeps you on your toes, that's for sure.

I wanted to share my experience because it is useful be aware that changing allergies is even possible.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It's definitely true that a person can "outgrow" an allergy and no longer respond to the same allergen. I also think that since an allergy is your immune system overreacting to an allergen that even if you outgrow a certain allergy, you can develop another one as your life progresses since it is in your immune system to overreact. Does that make sense?
