Food Allergy or Food Sensitivity?
Many people go around claiming that they are allergic to certain foods. But are they?
According to ALCAT:
It is rare that foods cause this type of classic allergy, typically less than 5% of the population. The ALCAT Test identifies food and chemical sensitivities where the symptom onset is longer (several hours to days) and varied (typical in chronic conditions). These types of sensitivities or intolerances affect nearly everyone.
Did You Know?
Food sensitivities or intolerances affect over 80% of the population while less than 5% of us actually have an IgE or “true” food allergy ...
It’s important to distinguish between a food allergy (rare) and food sensitivity (common.) If you suffer with fatigue, skin problems, headaches, brain fog, or some other reaction to certain foods, but nobody has been able to help, give me a call to set up testing. As we are setting up the testing protocols, we are offering a discount off of normal testing fees.
