Food Sensitivities

If you suspect you have food sensitivities or intolerances, you're not alone.

Did you know that food sensitivities are more common than food allergies and affect up to 20% of the population? Symptoms of food intolerance may not appear immediately but can occur hours or even days after consuming the food and can be commonly mistaken for other conditions. Some of the more common symptoms of food sensitivities are fatigue, bloating, constipation, acne, eczema, joint pain, brain fog, and frequent headaches or migraines. However, with proper nutritional guidance, you can find relief from these and other symptoms caused by food sensitivities. Testing for food allergens can help identify hidden food intolerances and can also be useful in identifying any particular foods that may be causing symptoms.

Having food sensitivities can often lead to nutrient deficiencies which can cause separate issues. After any food sensitivities are identified, I can recommend supplements and create meal plans for you that exclude your trigger foods, while ensuring you meet your nutritional requirements. Understanding the nutritional content of foods and how they interact with the body is crucial in managing food sensitivities. It is also important to learn about ingredient labels, hidden sources of allergens, and alternative food options.

By making specific dietary modifications and lifestyle changes, you can alleviate many symptoms associated with food sensitivities and intolerances, such as digestive issues, skin problems, or headaches. Together we can identify your specific trigger foods and create a plan that works best for you to get you feeling better!
