Detox or allergies?

[Wendee]

I have never had an allergy in my entire life. I have been failry healthy and no real heatlh chllenges.

Since I started eating my green smoothies with an organic Spring Mix that I buy already washed at the supermarket...I seem to get these weird symptoms: First, my throat kinda burns very mildy irritated. Then I start to itch on my skin. Then i feel tired.......

The question is this....should I continue drinking this smoothie and ride thru detox and suffer through, or, should I call my Dr. for an allergy appt?

thanks, wendee

Try something like baby spinach or kale instead of the spring mix. There may be something in the mix that you are allergic to.

Ready-washed veg can be washed in a whole host of chemicals including chlorine. If it only happens after eating a particular thing I would imagine it is a sensitivity to that product or the chemicals on it. Detox in my understanding is something that happens over a few days as the body clears out substances.


whether or not your call your doctor for an allergy appt is up to you, pparently the tests have to be interpreted in the light of a range of information including how you feel when you ingest a substance. Apparently there isn't a cut-and-dried test to when it comes to allergies / intollerances that don't induce anaphalactic shock.
