I forgot to mention the role Candida Overgrowth has in chemical sensitivity. Many are much improved if not cured by getting rid of the dysbiosis in their gut. I know I was.

When partically digested food enters the peritoneal cavity the body regards it as a foreign substance and responds with antibody formation and subsequent sensitivity.
