Finding Food Sensitivities - with Seattle naturopath Dr. Deborah Epstein

Do you suspect that you may have a "food allergy?" Do you have symptoms after eating certain foods, or symptoms after eating that you haven't been able to track to a certain food? Everything from abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, fatigue or other symptoms after eating and Irritable Bowel, to eczema, psoriasis, acne, sinusisits, asthma, chronic ear infections, chronic postnasal drip or runny nose, hayfever/allergies -- may be being triggered by foods not fully digested. This incomplete digestion sets up a chronic inflammatory state in the digestive tract, which may lead to a "leaky gut." It's not enough to only eliminate the offending foods - for long-term relief, it's necessary to heal the gut and strengthen the digestive power. Come meet Dr. Epstein and find out more!

Cost is $10 for patients; $15 for non-patients, with all proceeds directly benefiting the Washington Toxics Coalition. A credit card is required to hold your spot, but you may swap that for a check upon arrival, for tax-deduction purposes. To register, call Dr. Epstein at 206-547-1980.
