Food Sensitivity Testing

Send us Fan MailHave you ever experienced unpleasant symptoms after eating certain foods, including sneezing, rashes, joint pain, bloating and diarrhoea? If so, then you might be wondering what is causing it.A food sensitivity reaction is typically caused by an imbalance in the gut, which affects the immune system. Increased intestinal permeability, referred to as ‘leaky gut syndrome’, is often a culprit. Food sensitivities can present in several ways, from dizziness, anxiety, headaches, difficulty sleeping, ear infections, fatigue, acne, and irritable bowel, to name a few. An elimination diet is an effective way to identify which foods are causing the sensitivities by removing a food type for at least a month and then reintroducing foods to see if symptoms arise again. A food sensitivity test is a quick, easy and accurate way of identifying personal trigger foods, which can help optimise your food habits and guide an elimination diet to help relieve chronic symptoms.Alternatively, the more advanced Cyrex array tests address a more extensive range of issues concerning food sensitivities. The Cyrex panels detect both IgG and IgA antibodies to evaluate the immune reactions to food in its raw and cooked form, common food combinations, and reactivity to gum molecules and binding isolates. In today's episode, you will find out more about food sensitivities and how taking a food sensitivity test might be beneficial:Highlights from today's episode include:The difference between food intolerance, allergy and sensitivity. IgG antibodies to food and how it affects your health. Symptoms of food sensitivities including fatigue, migraines, acne, and digestive issues such as bloating and constipation. How to improve food sensitivities with diet and lifestyle. Why stool testing in combination with food sensitivity testing can provide deeper insight.  You can also read my article, 'Food intolerances, sensitivities and allergies - what’s the deal?'You can purchase a food sensitivity test with a test analysis, health consultation and plan here.Tune in today and be sure to share any of your thoughts about the show on my Instagram page: @theautoimmunitynutritionistYou can also download a free copy of The Autoimmunity Recovery Plan here.Book your free discovery call with me here.And if you would like to join my community of strong-willed people thriving with autoimmune disease, join The Autoimmunity Community. Thanks for listening!
