Your Food Allergies Are Making You Fat

This image shows how interlinked the immune system, and response is to diet and other exposures. Inflammation caused from food could be one factor in weight gain and preventing weight loss. Photo credit: NIH

I think the system is a bit simpler.
Just as the body warps toxic chemicals it cannot excrete (metals,chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, endosulphan?) in fat, and tucks them away somewhere. So too, the same process could work with allergens- especially food intolerances-the inability to break down complex amino acids into a usable form (eg milk allergy?)
