Food intolerance - a term used to describe a variety of physiological responses to certain foods or substances contained therein. It is - it is the negative reaction of the body, which can cause a variety of symptoms, but is not an allergic reaction. In this allergic reaction is present in human blood IgE; when food intolerance analysis immunoglobulin E is negative. Only in 1995, the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, proposed to divide the food allergy and food intolerance.

Symptoms

Food intolerance usually causes less sharp and noticeable symptoms as food allergy. Generally, it is more difficult to diagnose than allergy. Because food intolerance reactions to certain foods can even occur a long time after its use, identify triggers a negative reaction is not easy. If the symptoms of food allergy usually occur almost immediately, the symptoms of food intolerance can appear after half an hour or an hour after consuming the product-trigger; in some cases - just 48 hours.

Symptoms of food intolerance usually affect the skin, respiratory tract, gastro-intestinal tract. The most common symptoms include skin rashes and itching, angioedema Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause , Dermatitis, eczema, nasal congestion, sinusitis Sinusitis - difficult to cope alone , dry cough Dry cough - whether to worry about it? , Shortness of breath, mouth sores, nausea, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation; in rare cases - anaphylaxis.

Food intolerance is sometimes associated with irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, functional dyspepsia, and some other disorders.

Causes

Food intolerance is more common than true food allergy. As a rule, a negative reaction to cause various chemicals contained in the products of both animal and vegetable origin; more rarely such a reaction occurs on a variety of artificial supplements.

One of the causes of food intolerance is a deficiency of digestive enzymes. Thus, lactose intolerance is the result of insufficient production by the body lactase - enzyme required for processing of lactose contained in milk. Hereditary fructose intolerance - another type of food intolerance caused by deficiency of certain digestive enzymes.

Celiac disease - an autoimmune disorder caused by an immune response to the protein gluten; it is characterized by intolerance to gluten The intolerance to gluten - the problems of the digestive system   and can cause temporary lactose intolerance.

Very often trigger food intolerances are benzoates and salicylates. They are contained in many foods - fruits and vegetables, spices, herbs, nuts, tea and coffee. If you are sensitive to salicylates food intolerance reactions may occur as a result of the use of a variety of fruits and berries, as well as, for example, acetylsalicylic acid.

Diagnostics

For the diagnosis of food intolerance usually used the hydrogen breath test, and the elimination diet. Diagnosing food intolerance is much more difficult than allergy; usually by means of elimination diet is possible to identify foods that are triggers negative reactions. Serious clinical studies usually carried out in more severe cases, when there is a possibility that food intolerance can significantly impair the quality of life of the patient.

Phosphogliv - a drug of vegetable origin, which was obtained from soybean seeds. Phosphogliv protects and restores the liver cells, while it is non-toxic and almost no side effects, and contraindications for use.

Why phosphogliv has so few side effects

Phosphogliv obtained by extracting from soybean seeds biologically active substances - phospholipids. Phospholipids are natural constituents of human cell membranes. Especially needed phospholipids liver cells - hepatocytes. They are kept as in membranes and inside cells, exerting a huge influence on metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   in hepatocytes, i.e. on their functioning.

Applicants from outside the phospholipids strengthen and stabilize the membrane of hepatocytes. This allows the liver cells do not lose needed for the full functioning of biologically active substances, primarily enzymes involved in detoxifying Cleansing the body - comprehensive restoration   of toxins. Arriving into the cells phospholipids improves protein and fat metabolism, help maintain the liver glycogen - the main energy reserve. The phospholipids also suppress the growth of connective tissue cells and slow down the process of decreased hepatic cirrhosis.

An additional component of the composition is phosphogliv sodium glycyrrhizinate (glitsirat), which also has a vegetable origin - it is derived from licorice root. Glitsirat enhances the effect of phospholipids and gives phosphogliv Phosphogliv - advanced analogue esseniale   Additional anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and anti-viral properties. Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties glitsirata associated with increased action glucocorticosteroid (GCS) of hormones produced by the adrenal glands. Since corticosteroids are the most potent anti-inflammatory and antiallergic agents, phosphogliv has a significant effect in inflammatory and allergic processes in the liver as well as in the skin area. The antiviral effect glitsirata also of natural origin: it activates the synthesis of cell antiviral agent interferon.

Thus, the effect of both components phosphogliv naturally woven into the metabolic processes in the liver cells, stabilizes and strengthens the membranes, thus protecting cells from destruction. The same thing happens with the cells of the skin, but this main action is inhibition of inflammatory and allergic disorders, are also suppressed in a natural way.

In connection with this natural mechanism of action phosphogliv has virtually no side effects, and those that are still developing, are most often minor.

Phosphogliv produces Russian pharmaceutical company Pharmstandard capsules for oral administration and as a lyophilisate for solution for intravenous administration.

What side effects phosphogliv can still cause

Phosphogliv may cause allergic processes which often manifest themselves in the form of various types of skin rash, including in the form of urticaria - confluent red spots or blisters. Danger of hives is that it can go into angioedema subcutaneous tissue and spread to the area of ​​the larynx. If the soft tissue swelling captures the larynx and vocal cords, it can be overridden by the flow of air into the lungs and the person suffocates. Therefore, if the rash is growing rapidly, it is best to call an ambulance.

But allergic reactions when taking phosphogliv rare, as it stimulates the production of corticosteroids - the most powerful antiallergic agent.

Furthermore, when taking into phosphogliv may cause discomfort in the stomach nausea and diarrhea. In most cases, such side effects do not require discontinuation. Basically phosphogliv well tolerated as ingestion, and administered intravenously.

In some cases, phosphogliv contraindicated

Phosphogliv contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity of the patient to the components of this drug. It is also contraindicated in the age of 12, pregnant women and nursing mothers - Information on clinical trials of patients have not been conducted.

Be wary appoint phosphogliv recommended in case of liver disease complicated by portal hypertension Hypertension - Control your blood pressure   - Increasing the pressure in the superior vena cava, into which the venous blood is drained from the liver.

Phosphogliv - it hepatoprotector plant. which is woven into the natural metabolic processes in the cells of the body, protecting it from any damaging effects. This natural mechanism of action helps to ensure that the drug has almost no side effects.
