Is there any scientific proof that a slight non-symptomatic allergy will cause fat gain? My allergiest says NO, but it seems online sources say yes. Is this gain WATER or FAT?
Same question as above for food intolerances…a food that you notice gives you slight gas.
Finally - soy…if you are NOT allergic can it cause excess abdominal fat gain anyway due to hormonal weirdness?
If you could put my mind at rest I would be FOREVER greatful. (Seriously)! This has caused me so much stress it is absurd, but I cannot get it off my mind no matter how hard I try. I was diagnosed as slightly allergic to egg white…my FAVORITE food in the world 8 months ago and seriously the last 8 months has been diet HELL. BUT I do notice eggs give me gas. HOWEVER, gas is a sign of intolerance, not allergy.
Would just taking digestive enzymes fix the problem? I got very scared by this info:
food allergies and sensitivities raise cortisol and we know that cortisol is not our friend when we want to increase muscle mass and achieve fat loss
eating these foods will inflame your GI tract which doesn’t sound good for digestion and absorption, if your body is treating the food like a foreign invader then why would it absorb its nutrients ?

Alleric reactions will not cause you to gain fat.
“Intolerance” seems to be the latest buzzword. Incomplete digestion gives gas. You could call that intolerance if you want as is the case when someone is lactose intolerant.
Who knows? I try to avoid the stuff but the hormonal thing seems overhyped.
Eggs give everyone gas.
It might. Try it, some people greatly benefit. Others do not.
That link was a bunch of nonsense. Cravings do not equal food allergy. If you eat an orange and are still hungry it may be because you need food or it may your natural drive to keep eating when food is in front of you.
