FOOD SENSITIVITY & ALLERGY TESTING

It can be challenging to connect the dots when it comes to allergies and sensitivities.  The body’s immune system is reacting to what are normally harmless substances.  The reactions can be immediate or delayed.  Identifying the cause and making dietary, lifestyle and environmental adjustments can bring about relief.

Removing the cause can help heal the gut, calm the immune system (relieve inflammation), and build up the gut microbiome. Relief is often seen in many chronic illnesses or symptoms without a known cause and it may help jump start a healthier diet.

Aeroallergens Testing
US BioTek

Pollens and spores from trees, grasses, mold, dust, and others can produce symptoms that range from minor to severe in affected individuals. Pollen exposures can promote cross-reactions with commonly eaten foods because there are common proteins found in the pollens that are shared with other types of fruit and vegetable plants. These cross-reactions can exacerbate food sensitivity reactions during the pollen season.
