Q Do medications mask damage from food intolerances? This one is pretty controversial--I'm not sure that we want to go there, because it probably depends on the medications, the patient, and a lot of other factors, but I'll go along with the consensus of opinion. IOW, if I were taking meds, or considering taking meds, I wouldn't want to endorse a statement such as that, unless it had been verified beyond a shadow of doubt for more than just specific cases, and I don't believe that's been done. Statements such as this can create unnecessary dissension.
