GUT TRIGGER #3: food sensitivities

YOUR SYMPTOMS MAY BE CAUSED BY FOOD SENSITIVITIES.

If you have...

muscle + joint pain
arthritis
headaches
migraines
fatigue
brain fog
anxiety
itchy skin
water retention

...it’s likely that you’re reacting to a food.

The truth is, it’s actually quite common to have sensitivities to multiple foods. Even healthy foods like salmon or watermelon can trigger a food sensitivity.

You may be familiar with IgE food allergies (the scary reactions that show up immediately after eating things like peanuts or shellfish). Food sensitivities are completely different. You can have a food sensitivity even when your IgE food allergy test is negative. Your symptom can appear up to 3 days after eating the trigger food, so figuring out which one it is when you are working on it alone can be tricky. To complicate things more, not all food sensitivity tests (such as IgG) are completely valid. If you have a leaky gut (more to come on this), your body sees MANY different foods as "invaders" which will show up on your results falsely as food sensitivities.

See you in the next blog post where we will talk about the next gut trigger - LEAKY GUT!
