When looking at food intolerances, herbs, spices and oils are often overlooked as potential reactive ingredients. They are however commonly encountered in many meals and snacks so should be definitely considered.

Manifesting as bloating, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), weight gain, fatigue, skin problems, migraines or joint pain, even a mild food intolerance to herbs, spices or oils may have a major impact upon a person’s day to day activities, and the inclusion of these foods in a western diet is so common that the actual intolerances can be difficult to find, and also to avoid successfully.
