IBS AND FOOD INTOLERANCE: CHEMICAL INTOLERANCE

Offending substances don’t always gain access to the body through the mouth; they can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Bearing this in mind perhaps it is time to consider what chemicals you are spraying on your head, under your arms, up your nose and on your skin. Use simple non-perfumed toilet preparations and don’t buy aerosol cans. You could try pure essential oils in the bath; many of them smell wonderful. They may not affect you the way synthetic perfumes do.
It is time also to throw out all the household cleaning agents and get back to simple soaps (non-biological washing powders) and old-fashioned wax furniture polish. The wood likes it better too. There is a whole range of ecological domestic cleaning products. The washing-up liquid has been particularly helpful for many people; a tight chest while washing up is very common in people with chemical allergies. A simple product called Chemico, a pink paste made from powdered rock which has been manufactured in Britain for about seventy years is gentle and safe and cleans everything, sinks, cookers, floors, even windows. It is very cheap here but is now being sold in America at $12 per tin!
