FAQS
What is the difference between food sensitivity and food allergy?
Food sensitivity typically involves a delayed immune response to certain foods, resulting in symptoms like digestive issues, headaches, or fatigue. Food allergies, on the other hand, trigger an immediate immune response that can be severe and even life-threatening.
How do I know if I have a food sensitivity or allergy?
If you suspect you have a food sensitivity or allergy, symptoms such as bloating, skin rashes, nasal congestion, or gastrointestinal discomfort after eating specific foods may indicate sensitivity. Allergies often manifest with symptoms like hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis shortly after ingestion.
What is involved in a Food Sensitivity and Allergy Evaluation?
A comprehensive evaluation typically starts with a detailed medical history and symptom assessment. This may be followed by diagnostic tests such as blood tests (like IgG testing for sensitivities) or skin prick tests (for allergies) to identify specific food triggers.
