[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some allergies -- peanuts, strawberries, shellfish -- are real. The rest are just sensitivities that kids would grow out of a lot faster if they were exposed to the food more. My best friend growing up was allergic to shellfish, but LOVED shrimp. She just put up with the mild itching until it eventually went away. Your body can only adjust to something if it has a reason to. [/quote] I've heard about this in reverse with adults who choose to go gluten-free (I am not talking about diagnosed celiacs here - that's a whole different story). Their bodies stop getting used to processing gluten, so if they try gluten again they feel much worse. It's not that they were allergic in the first place, it's that their digestive system became unused to gluten.[/quote]
