The Food Sensitivity Test is a blood test that helps to identify what foods someone may be sensitive to. It detects IgG antibodies in the blood that are against certain foods. It is these antibody-food complexes that send a signal to the immune system, causing it to overreact to foods that are not dangerous. This leads to inflammation in the gut and subsequently, the brain, other tissues and even throughout the entire body. Conditions that are associated with food sensitivities include:
Digestive concerns like IBS, Crohn's disease, chronic gas and bloating
Migraines
Mood/Attention Deficit Disorders
Skin conditions like eczema
Autoimmune disorders like Celiac Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Hashimoto's
