Do I Need Food Sensitivity Testing?

Published on 18 December 2024 at 15:37

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. 

 

Signs you may have food sensitivities:

  • Digestive discomfort such as bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or stomach pain
  • Skin problems such as rashes, eczema, or acne
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Mood changes such as anxiety, depression, or irritability 
  • Muscle or joint pain
  • Mild respiratory symptoms
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating 

 

Once we identify your specific intolerance, you follow an elimination protocol structured by holistic professionals to remove offenders, heal your gut, and potentially add back in sensitive foods. Extreme food sensitivities can indicate underlying problems with your gut. Talk with a professional to get your test set up and arrange to have your results interpreted.
