Why do I need food sensitivity testing?
Benchmark Medical
Food sensitivity testing is the most efficient way to identify “problem foods”. They can often be the hidden cause of health problems including conditions like weight gain, asthma, eczema, headaches, migraines, digestive problems and many others.
Food sensitivities typically cause more subtle signs and symptoms. It can be difficult to detect food sensitivity, because often the symptoms won’t manifest until well after an offending food has been ingested. This could be anywhere from 24 to 72 hours later. For this reason, food sensitivities are often not suspected as the cause of health problems, and go unnoticed for a long time.
Here are just a few possible symptoms and conditions that can be associated with delayed-onset food sensitivities:
-
Rashes
-
Digestive problems (constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis)
-
Joint pain
-
Asthma
-
Cough
-
Sinus problems
-
Weight gain & inability to lose weight
