Fish allergy · Castore: Built to Adapt

Fish allergy

Hi, I know I posted this question in a response to another article, but it didn’t get a reply, so I’ll post it here and hopefully it’ll get a reply :)

What can we do if we, or someone we know/work with, has a fish/shellfish allergy? The benefits of these food sources are unmatched and should be staples in our diet, but what if someone can’t eat them? Where should we start? Are we looking at alternatives? What would those alternatives even be? I know lamb is a good option for omega 3 content, but is it comparable? Spirulina + Chlorella are good here as well, but they’re non meat based, so it changes the equation. Are we looking at immune regulation? Exposure techniques? Gut focus? I know allergies stem from a dysfunction and mis/lack of communication between the immune systems (innate and adaptive), as well as from the skin-gut-immune-brain axis, so is getting circadian biology in rhythm over time and exposure the way to victory? Are there other ways to get these highly important molecules and nutrients into play with these kinds of individuals without consequences? I know Leviathan Nutrition has an ‘advanced omega’ product that uses lysine bound free fatty acid omega 3s along with sesamol to help package and deliver the omegas to appropriate tissues. Is this a viable option even for individuals with allergies? I’d believe so because the omegas are removed from the fish and in a different form, but could that also take away or not be such a great thing since it’s further from how nature intended? Or is there something in omega 3s inherently that would still cause a reaction?
