Food sensitivity tests

I haven't done this yet, and in fact I haven't heard anything about it so I only have a little, but not sure, idea of how or what it is. Is this a test about allergies, or some sort of that? I would be really glad to know. But if the medical community says that it's useless, I think I shouldn't be bothering myself much about it and even yourself. But if they are simply in doubt or sides that research has yet to be done, then I would just keep my doors open for possible opportunities and benefits I could gain from it.

 

There are several tests, but you have to remember you body changes over time and as you get older or if your body becomes resistant to foods. I never took one and just deduced from what I was eating what didn't agree with me, but also there were hereditary factors to take into consideration. I am lactose intolerant, so intolerant is not the same as allergic, so you eat the food in moderation but it may create digestive issues if excessive quantities.

Most doctors won't give them unless there are severe allergic reactions and health food places offer basic ones with the pin prick test. If you want to pay, go ahead but they aren't accurate and as I said, the body changes. I wasn't lactose intolerant until I was in my 30s.

 

Theo is correct about your body changing, so your food sensitivities won't always change. If you suffer severe reactions to certain foods, then these tests are worth checking out. It's easy to identify lactose intolerance on your own, and shellfish/peanut allergies are indicated by the near-death experience of consuming them. However, a food sensitivity test is worth it if your family has a history of things like celiac disease where your body can't process gluten. If you're healthy and don't suffer from any suspected sensitivities, then there's no reason to take one of these tests. Only a doctor should administer the test either way.
