Understanding Food Sensitivities

Numerous individuals experience chronic health conditions without realizing that the food they consume is provoking an adverse reaction within their body. It is important to understand that this adverse reaction can lead to various symptoms, such as migraines, IBS symptoms, or even acne.

Symptoms of Food Sensitivities

Food sensitivities, although different from food allergies, can still have a significant impact on one's health. While a food allergy can cause anaphylaxis, a food sensitivity triggers an inflammatory response that manifests in a variety of symptoms. The prevalent symptoms associated with food sensitivities include discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal bloating, stomach pain, excessive gas, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, acid reflux or heartburn, headaches, flushed skin, irritability or anxiety, and fatigue. These symptoms can greatly affect one's quality of life and overall well-being.
