Brain fog can be a symptom of certain types of allergies, especially gluten allergy and yeast allergy.\u00a0 It can be described as a general lack of mental clarity.<\/p>\n

The severity of brain fog can vary, and can be compounded by several factors, for example high stress levels and lack of sleep. Lack of sleep can itself cause brain fog, so in many ways, having allergy-induced brain fog is somewhat similar to trying to function without enough sleep, except that getting more sleep leads to limited improvement, if any.<\/p>\n

  Brain Fog Treatment<\/h2>\n

  If you have brain fog caused by an allergy, the most important brain fog treatment is to avoid the allergen.\u00a0 For example, if you have a gluten allergy, avoid all gluten.\u00a0 It could take weeks to clear out of your system, so stay the course.<\/p>\n

  Maintaining a properly balanced nutritional intake is also important.\u00a0 If you are not sure if you have an allergy or not, it is still a good idea to eliminate sugar, wheat and make sure you have some, but not too much protein in your diet, along with a good complement of vegetables.\u00a0 Body detoxification is also important.<\/p>\n
