Some Common Causes of Negative Food Reactions are listed below
From preservatives and natural salicylates
Flavour enhancers – monosodium glutamate (MSG or Flavour Enhancer 621)
The natural laxative in prunes and some other dried fruits
Digestive diseases
Mineral sulfur
Enzyme deficiencies such as lactose intolerance
Some are Negative Food Reactions are Psychological Aversions
It possible that children and adults can convince themselves they have a sensitivity or intolerance to a particular food which they believe ‘disagrees’ with them.
Symptoms of Adverse Food reactions can appear in many different forms, some symptoms are as follows;

- Hives
- Bronchial irritation such as coughs
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Mood and Behavioral changes
