About Chronic Inflammation
Food intolerance is a essentially a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. It is a persistent, long-term state where the body's immune system is constantly switched on. It is often invisible and mostly goes unnoticed.
This chronic low-grade inflammation actively contributes to the damage and progression of the distressing symptoms of food intolerance.
The immune system produces this persistent inflammation because of continuous aggravation. Almost 80% of your immune system is in your gut, and poorly digested foods (food intolerance), which sour and become rancid within the gut, are primary aggravators.
Treatment:
Our food intolerance (sensitivity) test helps guide your diet to eliminate foods that drive your low-grade inflammation.
With our hs-CRP test, we can measure your low-grade inflammation levels and track your progress as your inflammation levels return to normal.
Diseases linked to chronic low grade inflammation:
Bloating: many gut health issues are associated with this inflammation.
Mental health: Anxiety and depression have also been linked to chronic inflammation.
Skin health: Many skin conditions ranging from acne to eczema, dermatitis etc, are rooted in inflammation.
Migraine: In many cases, migraine has also been linked with chronic inflammation.
Infertility: is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. This chronic inflammation is also associated with autoimmune diseases (where the immune system mistakenly attacks body tissues / organs) - Watch Video: How Does Low-Grade Inflammation Contribute to Infertility? | Fertility Support Channel
Cardiovascular disease: Inflammation can damage arteries, influence plaque buildup, and contribute to clot formation.
Cancer: Chronic inflammation is a factor in the development of many cancers, as it can create an environment where tumour cells can thrive.
Diabetes: Inflammation can affect the pancreatic tissues and lead to insulin resistance.
Neurological disorders: Conditions like Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia have been linked to chronic inflammation.
Respiratory illnesses: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are characterized by chronic inflammation in the airways.
Autoimmune diseases: Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc, where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues.
