Keep a detailed chart of everything you eat, drink and are
exposed to along with the time of exposure. Indicate any symptoms,
like headaches, blurred vision, and so on, and the times they
occur. (Note: it could take from 30 minutes to a day before
you see symptoms of exposure to an allergen). After a couple
of weeks, a pattern may develop; make dietary changes accordingly.
You can also use this pulse test:
1.
Take and record your pulse
for a full minute before you get out of bed each morning.
(Normal resting pulse is between 60 and 80 beats a minute.)
2.
Take your pulse again
right before you eat any one food that you suspect is
an allergen or you'd like to rule out.
3.
Don't eat any other foods,
and take your pulse again at 30 minutes and at 60 minutes
after eating the food in question. Keep a record of the
foods you test.
If your pulse increases more
than 10 to 15 beats or goes over 85, there is a strong possibility
you are allergic to that food. (Remember that other factors
can also increase your pulse.)
