To sum up, an allergy is the body’s immune system responding to what would normally be considered a harmless substance. Allergy testing and food sensitivity isn’t only beneficial for a patient’s knowledge for what foods could close their throat or cause hives. Testing for food allergies and sensitivities also are an important part in the weight loss journey! The blood and hair tests, a different type of testing offered, enable an individual to eliminate reactive foods form their diet, alleviating previously undiagnosed symptoms.
These tests are very important, because food allergies can be very dangerous and even fatal. By testing IgE, IgG and IgE antibodies which are found in large concentrations within the body’s mucous membranes, skin as well as lungs, we can determine what an individual’s antibodies are reactive to thus what that person should avoid. When they are triggered, they can cause severe reactions such as swelling of the throat or hives on the skin that take place almost instantly when a food-based antigen is encountered. In a dietary sense, there are subtle symptoms that are usually intestinal related, and can be alleviated by removing certain foods from that individual’s diet. For example, there’s a condition called “Leaky Gut” where someone may have bloating, fatigue, digestive issues and sometimes even skin problems. This is caused from having food sensitivities until they heal their intestinal wall.
