Food Sensitivity Testing: Why It's Essential
Many people have food sensitivities and don’t even know it. Food sensitivities can cause symptoms that are either very mild or are commonly associated with other medical conditions or illnesses, so they are hard to diagnose. At Native Sun Nutrition & Functional Medicine, our doctor, Dr. Caroline Williams, has decades of experience evaluating, and addressing food allergies in Las Vegas, NV. We offer comprehensive food sensitivity testing that will revolutionize the way you eat and care for your overall health and wellness.
What Is Food Sensitivity, and How Do You Know if You Have It?
There are key differences between food allergies and food sensitivities. Food allergies are often severe and can be life threatening. Food sensitivities, also called food intolerance, cause more minor symptoms and are not life-threatening. However, the symptoms they cause can affect every area of your life and may result in weight loss, weight gain, gastrointestinal issues, chronic inflammation, gut bacteria dysbiosis, and major nutrient deficiencies. The most common symptoms of a food sensitivity are:
- Diarrhea
- Bloating
- Gas
- Rashes
- Headaches or migraines
- Light sensitivity
- Memory issues
- Sleep disorders
- Restlessness
- Mood swings
- Acid reflux
- Abdominal pain
- Skin flushing
The Importance of Food Sensitivity Testing: How Food Sensitivities Are Diagnosed
Our comprehensive food sensitivity testing can assess chemical sensitivity and toxicity, lifestyle contributions, environmental and seasonal contributions, and food sensitivities. We offer food sensitivity panels 96 and 184, which are comprehensive panels that identify delayed reactions to food. We can also guide you through an elimination diet, which can identify sensitivities to foods commonly known to cause problems.
Overcoming Symptoms of Food Allergies and Improving Health and Wellness
Dr. Williams not only wants to help you evaluate your diet and reduce symptoms of food allergies, but also improve your overall health and wellness and quality of life. After completing food sensitivity testing and identifying your food allergies and sensitivities, she will work closely with you to design your optimal diet. By making targeted changes to your diet and nutrition, getting more exercise, and modifying your lifestyle and environment, you can reduce your risk of health issues and complications and lead a healthier life overall.
