Food Sensitivities in Red Hook NY

Today's foods resemble nothing like your great-grandparents once consumed. Genetically modified foods (GMO's), gluten, packaged foods, preservatives, pesticides, additives, bleached and refined foods, trans fats, white refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup are just some of the poisons to which your digestive systems are exposed. Over time, these toxins place undue stress on your stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine and large intestine.

Combining toxins along with stress, poor diet, poor absorption and poor utilization of your nutrients may cause associated problems such as insufficient stomach acid production, thick goopy bile, leaky gut, insulin sensitivity, diabetes and abnormal gut flora. Foods that your body used to tolerate can now become a problem and lead to food sensitivities or intolerances. Our Red Hook NY nutritional experts can help.
