Do I Need Food Sensitivity Testing?
At Tampa Holistic, we use reputable companies that specialize in accurate and convenient home tests. This test evaluates sensitivities by measuring levels of IgG antibodies, which are antibodies that react with certain foods. These reactions indicate an immune response. The immune response is what causes food sensitivity symptoms. While this home test is convenient and gives you a good starting point, it may show you are reacting to certain foods that are not a problem for you. The best approach is following an elimination diet after your testing, where you systematically remove and add in specific foods at designated times. Doing only an elimination diet without the testing is also an option for those that want to get started earlier.
