SYMPTOMS & CONDITIONS

From Hives to Fatigue: Inappropriate Reactions Can Cause a Multitude of Symptoms

A sensitivity or inappropriate reaction may cause symptoms from any organ system in the body.

Some organ systems are prone to reacting to certain families of allergens or substances, such as the respiratory system reacting to pollen. However, a substance may affect any organ system, this can cause a multitude of symptoms varying from case to case.

For example, among those who develop symptoms after eating soy, some will experience hives, some have digestive issues, and others develop symptoms such as fatigue, wheezing, or congestion. Since any organ system can react inappropriately to any substance, you will find that different people can have completely different symptoms to the same substance, it all depends on which organ systems are in reaction.

The AAT Expert System addresses the relationship between the specific organ systems affected by the allergen or substance to reduce the defensive behavior and resolve the associated symptoms.

Digestive System
Symptoms include acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Primarily caused by reactions to food or other ingestants.

Respiratory System
Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, asthma, shortness of breath, coughing, postnasal drip, itching and watery eyes. Reactions may be associated with pollens, dust, food, chemicals and animals (including dog and cat dander and bird feathers), air-borne substances and contactants.

Skin
Symptoms include red, itchy, flaky eczema, blisters, rashes and hives. The main cause of dermatological reactions can be a reaction to food but can also be caused by plants, contactants and chemicals.

Headaches and Migraines
May be caused by various foods such as coffee or alcohol, airborne substances such as pollen, and chemicals such as household cleaners, perfumes or vehicle fumes.

Tiredness and Fatigue
Many reactions result in lethargy and feelings of fatigue. Tiredness can also occur at certain times of the day, such as in the afternoon after eating.

Multiple Systems
Symptoms may affect multiple systems in the body, resulting in headaches, irritability, hyperactivity, mood swings, fatigue, tachycardia, or inflammation.

Symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities can also lead to conditions such as asthma, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hyperactivity syndrome (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, these disorders do not always involve allergies or sensitivities.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is often caused by hypersensitivity and affects approximately 15% of the population. Common symptoms include diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and abdominal pain.

Skin problems such as eczema, dermatitis, and hives are likely to be symptoms of allergies or sensitivities.
