In our clinic we have a saying…"We Don’t Guess...We FOOD TEST!" The Proof is in the Report!
Before we dive too deep, there is an important thing you MUST understand! You must understand the difference between Food Allergy & Food Sensitivity.
Food Allergy:
A food allergy is an exaggerated immune response triggered by eggs, peanuts, milk, or some other specific food.
Food Sensitivity / Intolerance:
Food intolerance or non-allergic food hypersensitivity is a term used widely for varied physiological responses associated with a particular food, or compound found in a range of foods.
It’s important to recognize the difference. We test for the DELAYED sensitivity response…not the immediate response. We’re testing the 10-12 hour...sometimes up to 72 hour immune response that patients cannot figure out on their own!
Our office utilizes the following to ensure accurate and precise results:
Here are some sample reports. We test a range of 50-250 foods to determine exactly how you react!
