When you eat a food that you have a hidden allergy/sensitivity to, your body’s immune system is activated and it attacks this food.  This causes inflammation in the gut and digestive problems.  Because this food cannot be digested properly, it then becomes food and fuel for Candida and yeast, which can lead to a candida and yeast overgrowth and chronic infections in the digestive track.  This overgrowth of candida yeast often leads to leaky gut problems which mean that microscopic holes are formed in the lining of the intestinal walls of the gut.  This allows for undigested food to flow into your bloodstream where your immune system recognizes these foods as a threat. 

 

These threatening undigested foods that can become new hidden food allergies/sensitivities.  If you have leaky gut syndrome and are eating the same foods almost every day, there is a very good chance that you will have a hidden allergy/sensitivity to most these foods. Therefore, rotating your food groups and not eating the same foods every day is important in preventing new hidden food allergies from occurring.
