Managing Food Allergies, 3 Tips

By Frances Cheung, Health Counselor

1. Keep a food diary


A food diary is an essential tool in discovering the connections between food and your body. Be creative with your diary – write down how you feel right after eating, as well as 2 hours and up to 4 days after eating, as many symptoms may not be immediate. Draw, let your pen or pencil flow on paper – it may reveal a lot more about food and its effects on you than you may realize at first. For example, you may discover that certain foods lead to fatigue, bloatedness, cramps, mood swings, skin eruptions, etc.
