Food Sensitivity Testing
If you go to an allergist, you will get multiple small skin pricks along the forearm. This is testing for the immune molecule IgE. This is an immediate immune reaction molecule - meaning you'll react to that allergen within an hour of exposure. You've likely already suspected your reactive foods.
Then there is IgG testing. This is a delayed immune molecule. Meaning that after eating a food, you can have a reaction that occurs anywhere from 30 minutes to 72 hours after consuming a food. Thus it's nearly impossible to determine which foods you're sensitive to. Our body can react in a multitude of ways to our food sensitivities. Some may have digestive upset, headaches, eczema, acne, fatigue, joint pain, & the list goes on. The reactions can be quite mild, or cause greater reactions over time. Our food sensitivities will change over time, & as we change our diet, over time, our food sensitivities change as well.
