What is Food Sensitivity?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A food sensitivity*, (or maybe you know it as a food intolerance?) is an adverse reaction to certain foods we eat. This reaction is directly measured by analysing an antibody called Immunoglobulin G, or IgG, which is in association with an immune response. The reason for this may be due to microbiome imbalances which can also lead to compromised gut linings of which can result in leaky gut. This means larger undigested particles enter the bloodstream and are attacked by our immune system. The breakdown process of this response results in inflammation that manifests in many different ways.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of a food sensitivity include:<\/strong><\/h5>\n
    \n
  • Bloating, gas, diarrhoea, constipation, IBS**<\/li>\n
  • Headaches or migraines<\/li>\n
  • Eczema, rashes, acne, hives<\/li>\n
  • Fatigue or lethargy<\/li>\n
  • Joint pain<\/li>\n
  • Respiratory symptoms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    Why Do Food Sensitivities Develop?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    It can be said that food sensitivities can be associated with your favourite foods of which are consumed in high quantities. This protein overload results in an immune overload that triggers our immune system and causes acute inflammation in the form of symptoms.<\/p>\n

    There are however many other factors to consider:<\/strong><\/h5>\n
      \n
    • How food is processed<\/li>\n
    • How intensive animals are reared<\/li>\n
    • Fertilisers used in the farming process<\/li>\n
    • Overconsumption of antibiotics<\/li>\n
    • Genetics<\/li>\n
    • Stress imposed on your life<\/li>\n
    • Imbalanced gut microbiome<\/li>\n
    • Leaky gut syndrome<\/li>\n
    • Lack of variety in the diet<\/li>\n
    • Lack of fibre in the diet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The Vicious Cycle<\/strong><\/h5>\n

      Understanding your food sensitivities can be challenging, as you may have already tried numerous elimination diets, medications or difficult low FODMAP diets. Does the below look familiar to you?<\/p>\n

      Rather than continuing this vicious cycle for months if not years, why not address the problem at the root cause? FOOD. Food is the easiest thing for us to control. We buy, store, cook and eat food. All in our control, so why not remove the guesswork and make your nutrition work with you, rather than against you?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      What Does the Research Tell Us?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

      It is estimated that nearly 45% of the UK population suffer from these adverse reactions to food***! Unlike a food allergy, that is an instant immune response that can be life-threatening, a food sensitivity typically causes less severe symptoms and may not always be immediately apparent due to their 24-72 hour delay in their reaction. This is why a food sensitivity is difficult to pinpoint without testing.
      \nResearch has shown that those who follow a guided elimination diet based on IgG food sensitivity testing can see the below improvements within 3 weeks in some cases****:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • 82% improvement in bloating<\/li>\n
      • 80% improvement to digestive health<\/li>\n
      • 72% improvement in lung function<\/li>\n
      • 78% improvement from Neurological conditions<\/li>\n
      • 76% improvement in skin conditions<\/li>\n
      • 64% improvement for joint issues<\/li>\n
      • 81% improvement in mind health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
