 Dear Reader,
It's been kind of a rough month. I've spent the past few weeks completely re-learning my relationship with food, after finding that the puzzling and seemingly unrelated range of health problems I've been experiencing could actually be connected.
The link? Gluten intolerance.
The experience of eliminating gluten from my diet has been frustrating, to say the least. And as I've started learning more about the way gluten affects my body, I've come to realize just how staggering the number of people who suffer from food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances is.
So it's no surprise that a report from the 69th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology caught my eye. The report deals with atopic dermatitis, which is a common form of eczema.
On its own, atopic dermatitis is a chronic disease characterized by red, itchy, cracked skin. But it also could be one way the body says, "Hey, you could be in for something else, too!"
The report deals primarily with infants and children, saying to parents that if a child has atopic dermatitis, the parents should be on the lookout for future food allergies.
Recently, a five-year study concluded that even mild cases of dermatitis in children aged three to 18 months could signal a future food allergy. Basically, people with atopic dermatitis make more IgE antibodies — those antibodies that are made when foreign proteins come into contact with the body. These are the antibodies that signal allergic sensitivity to a given food.
The link between atopic dermatitis and food allergies has prompted the guideline that children who are younger than five and have persistent moderate to severe atopic dermatitis should be considered for food allergies.
There are tests for food allergies, but the mere presence of the antibodies doesn't necessarily mean there is an allergy present. The only sure way to know is the old-fashioned way — observation of reactions to a specific food.
This news comes at the same time as some other pretty interesting work in the area of food allergies. Researchers are looking into whether withholding foods from young children, as opposed to offering kids an unrestricted diet, could cause allergies. They point to peanut allergies as an example. In the US, children don't usually eat peanuts until they're toddlers, which is when most peanut allergies rear their heads. In Israel, on the other hand, peanut proteins are used in pacifiers, and peanut allergies are rare.
The results on that question are still not clear, but in the meantime it's certainly helpful to have some information on how to identify a greater risk for uncomfortable (and often dangerous) allergic reactions.

More testosterone without HRT?
Q: I've read your articles on the benefits of testosterone, but I was wondering if there is anything I could do to help my body make more testosterone on its own before opting for bio-identical testosterone replacement?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: If your testosterone levels are low, or even just slightly lower than normal, you can actually raise them without taking testosterone itself. Zinc (30-50 milligrams daily), vitamin A (40,000-50,000 IU daily), and boron (3 milligrams daily) can help, especially in younger men. For some men, the herb Tribulus terrestis (250-750 milligrams daily) can improve testosterone and free testosterone levels.
All of these nutrients and herbs are available in natural health food stores and through numerous online supplement distributors.
