What is food sensitivity?
Food sensitivity can result from your body reacting badly to certain foods. Often the foods we include regularly in our diet or the foods we crave may be the ones causing us a problem. Research has shown that food sensitivity can be linked to IgG antibodies produced when these ‘problem’ foods are eaten. Normally these antibodies do not have any ill-effects, but if the immune or digestive system are not working optimally, their presence may provoke a wide range of symptoms.
Benefits
What are the benefits of Food Intolerance Testing?
- Identifying trigger foods: Food intolerance tests claim to identify specific foods or food components that may be causing adverse reactions in individuals. This information could potentially help people avoid or reduce their consumption of these trigger foods, leading to symptom relief.
- Symptom management: For individuals who experience chronic symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, or headaches, food intolerance testing may help pinpoint potential triggers. By avoiding these trigger foods, some people report experiencing a reduction in their symptoms.
- Personalized approach: Food intolerance tests are often marketed as a way to personalize dietary recommendations. The results of these tests could guide individuals in making dietary choices that are supposedly better suited to their bodies and potentially optimize their overall health and well-being.
- Psychological benefits: For individuals who have been experiencing unexplained symptoms or discomfort, receiving test results may offer a sense of validation and relief. Having a specific list of foods to avoid can provide a sense of control and empower individuals to take charge of their health.
- Elimination diet guidance: Food intolerance tests can provide a starting point for an elimination diet, where suspected trigger foods are temporarily eliminated from the diet and then gradually reintroduced to observe any reactions. These tests can help individuals identify potential problem foods and streamline the process of an elimination diet.
