Food Sensitivity Testing
Are foods making you ill? It’s hard to imagine that the food that fuels our bodies can also be the source of health concerns. The fact is that our bodies do react negatively to some foods. Symptoms can range from severe anaphylactic shock (in the case of peanut allergy) to low-grade, persistent headaches and chronic fatigue. Food sensitivity is the general term given to a specific type of reactions that are driven by disruptions in your GI system and an overactive immune system. Unfortunately, it may not always be obvious if foods are causing symptoms. And if foods are causing symptoms, it may not be obvious which foods are at the root of the problem.
Thankfully, there’s a solution to both of these conundrums-- Food Sensitivity Testing. Food Sensitivity Testing is a simple blood test that can detect immune reactions to various foods. Test
panels include anywhere from 22 to 154 of the most common dietary offenders. Lab reports contain
a number of useful insights regarding GI and immune function. The test will identify which foods
are reactive as well as the intensity of the reaction. Additionally, testing can provide information
about “gastrointestinal permeability,” a measure of how likely undigested food particles are crossing
from your intestines into blood circulation. Food Sensitivity Testing lays the foundation for a dietary
and supplement program designed to restore optimal function to your GI system and cool down an
overactive immune system. This is truly individualized medicine, and the program helps you understand which
foods to avoid and which to embrace to restore your optimal health.
