How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Food Allergies?
Mainstream medicine's approach to food allergies is avoid and carry epinephrine.
IgE positive? Never eat it. Borderline panel? Maybe an antihistamine and a shrug. Adult-onset reactions get treated like a character flaw. The gut that started letting proteins through is not in the plan.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Food Allergies?
Commonly missed root causes of food allergies include a failed gut barrier, collapsed oral tolerance, and delayed IgG food reactions.
An IgE is a snapshot of sensitization. It is not the reason the barrier failed or why oral tolerance collapsed. Avoidance prevents today's reaction. It does not rebuild a gut lining, calm mast cells, or ask why a food you ate for twenty years suddenly became a threat. Further, IgE isn't the only type of immune response you can develop to foods — most doctors don't look at the IgG responses that cause delayed food sensitivity reactions.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why did your tolerance to that food break?
