Many common health problems, including certain skin conditions, headaches, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel and more, are caused by food sensitivities. Without proper diagnosis, the root cause of the problem is never treated. People can live for years with a chronic condition that does not respond to medication because drugs simply mask the symptoms while the individual continues to consume the food that is making them sick in the first place.
Common Health Problems Created by Food Sensitivities:
- Migraine/headaches
- Irritable bowel syndrome

- Heartburn/GERD
- Fibromyalgia
- Arthritis
- Joint pain
- Muscle pain

- Eczema/skin eruptions
- Autism/ADD
It can be difficult to pinpoint the triggers since even healthy foods can cause adverse reactions in sensitive individuals. On top of that, symptoms may not appear for hours or even days after the food is consumed.
You may also have a reaction once, then consume the same food but not have the same reaction. This can be caused by consuming different doses, or even different combinations of foods that each cause sensitive reactions.
Understanding what’s causing your symptoms is crucial. Make an appointment with a provider who specializes in food sensitivity testing.
