Food Sensitivity Testing

Are you suffering from a stubborn health problem that won’t go away no matter what you try? Or perhaps the medications and treatments you’re taking aren’t actually getting at the root cause of your illness – but you want something that will? If you feel this way, or know someone that does, consider some important facts:

​

• Medical research has shown that sensitivities to food and food-chemicals can be involved in a wide array of painful symptoms and chronic health problems

• Sensitivities are types of inflammatory reactions that is entirely different than food allergies.

• Symptoms of food sensitivities include:

  • ​Irritable bowel syndrome

  • Acid reflux

  • Migraine and other headaches

  • Weight imbalances

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Skin eruptions

  • Brain fog

It is often difficult to identify food sensitivities. The reactions may be delayed or dose dependent, meaning we may not feel the effects of a reaction until many hours or days after we’ve eaten the reactive foods, or unless we eat enough of the reactive food.  The Mediator Release Test (MRT) is blood test that measures inflammatory response of 170 foods and chemicals.  Once the reactive foods and/or additives are determined, an individualized elimination diet can be planned, where such foods are removed and your diet is then designed around your lowest reactive foods.
