Natural Medicine
Food sensitivity testing is a controversial topic in the medical community. Currently, there are no FDA-approved food sensitivity tests. Natural medicine recognizes that the body can react to certain foods causing inflammation within the digestive tract as well as the entire body. Food intolerance is difficult to identify with elimination diets because the symptoms may not appear for 48-72 hours after the offending food is consumed. Therefore testing and eliminating the foods are important in order to reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, and improve overall well-being.
