Food Sensitivities
Food sensitivities (IgG-mediated reactions) are delayed immune responses to specific foods, causing chronic inflammation and a wide range of symptoms. Unlike food allergies (IgE-mediated), food sensitivities develop gradually and can take hours or days to manifest. Functional medicine identifies trigger foods, heals the gut, and often allows for food reintroduction.
Common symptoms
- Digestive issues (bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation)
- Headaches and migraines
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Joint pain and muscle aches
- Skin issues (eczema, acne, rashes)
- Sinus congestion
- Mood changes (anxiety, depression)
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Dark circles under eyes
Food Sensitivity Identification
We identify trigger foods and assess gut health to address the root cause.
