food & chemical allergies

[Guest guest]

I have a new patient who has severe food & chemical allergies, and

IBS. I will put her on a gluten free diet etc, but she is afraid to

take herbs due to her reactions. She is willing to try small doses

once, however. Does anyone have any input into herbs that have

aggravated allergies besides the sulfates? Or is it trial and error

from this point?

thanks

watch out for herbs with a corn binder - can be an issue for IBS / chem

sens / food allergies. had one patient who had bad reactions to the

correct formulas; not until we switched to traditional teapills (Mayway)

and not big, American-style pills with binders that the problem stopped.

I also have found many patients reacted badly to Lanzhou Traditional Herbs

brand. They specifically list as " other ingredients: corn starch "
