Wheat and dairy food allergies are very common in our culture. If you are allergic to a specific food, it's essential that you avoid it. It can threaten your health and signal your body that there is a threat to your survival, thus encouraging it to store fat. Specific allergy tips given on page 11 (and throughout the menus and recipes) include good food substitutes for wheat and dairy products. You may also try lactaid or acidophilus supplements (ask advice from your doctor or pharmacist) to help combat a lactase enzyme deficiency in the small intestine. Such deficiencies can create a milk-sugar (lactose) intolerance. If you are allergic to both the sugar and the protein in milk, you will need to completely avoid dairy products and take a calcium supplement. To provide yourself with protein at breakfast, choose protein foods from the lunch and dinner menus, in place of milk or yogurt.
Also check with your local book stores for cookbooks that deal with your particular food intolerance. (Examples: Wheat-Free Cooking, Milk-Free Cooking, Gluten-Free Cooking, etc.)
Work with your doctor when dealing with hay fever and any allergies. You may find that as you closely adhere to the Lean & Free optimum wellness lifestyle, your immune system becomes stronger and your allergies lessen and, in some cases, clear up completely. (See LaRane's story on page 205 in your Lean & Free 2000 Plus book.)
