Why should I get a food sensitivity test? You could be eating a clean diet and you wonder why you are feeling groggy or can’t think clearly, well maybe you’re eating a food that doesn’t necessarily agree with your body. This is where a sensitivity test is critical.

Food sensitivities vary from food allergies by what antibody we are testing. An allergy is a response from IgE antibodies, where sensitivities are a response by the IgG antibodies.

Why should I get a food sensitivity test? You could be eating a “clean” diet and you wonder why you are feeling groggy or can’t think clearly, well maybe you’re eating a food that doesn’t necessarily agree with your body. This is where a sensitivity test is critical. Food sensitivities vary from food allergies by what antibody we are testing. An allergy is a response from IgE antibodies, where sensitivities are a response by the IgG antibodies. We have multiple options of tests from a basic panel to panels that include very specific foods.

Food sensitivity testing is quite easy and even children can have them done, since all it entails is a prick of the finger. We typically receive results from the lab in about a week after your visit. We will go over the results and then formulate a plan to help you stay away from the foods that do not agree with you.
