FOOD SENSITIVITES vs FOOD ALLERGIES

The bodies reaction to food can be difficult to access because these symptoms may not appear for hours and sometimes days. For this reason food sensitivity testing is highly recommended. I use Mediator Release Testing (MRT) food sensitivity testing. MRT is a blood test that identifies 150 foods and food chemical properties by measuring mediators given off by white blood cells as a response form an ingested food. Mediator Release Testing is reliable and accurate as it measures the levels of various mediators such as histamines, leukotrienes, prostaglandins…not relying on only one reaction such as IgG testing. MRT testing is the optimal choice for food sensitivity testing with the highest degree of accuracy at 94.5%, sensitivity 97.1% and split-sample reproducibility.

Food sensitivities are not the same as food allergies known as IgE reactions in the body. IgE reactions may be fatal in which allergic foods must be removed from consumption to prevent the risk of such a severe reaction. Food sensitivities are non-IgE hypersensitivity reactions causing a diet induced inflammatory reaction in the body such as migraines, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), fibromyalgia, and more.
