What is food sensitivity?
Food sensitivities are different from food allergies. Food sensitivities, unlike food
allergies, don’t cause immediate, severe reactions; instead, they may lead to delayed
symptoms and contribute to subclinical chronic inflammation impacting various
body systems. Recognizing these distinctions is crucial for effectively addressing symptoms and managing chronic inflammation. How can food sensitivities impact weight? Food sensitivities impact weight through disruptions in metabolism, gut microbial balance, immune system overstimulation, and compromised tight junctions, leading
to a leaky gut and elevated liposaccharide and endocannabinoid levels. High-fat,
high-glycemic diets worsen these effects, activating the endocannabinoid system,
causing chronic inflammation, immune activation, and obesity. The overactive
endocannabinoid system in obesity leads to high triglycerides, lower HDL
cholesterol, decreased adiponectin, insulin resistance, and inflammation,
contributing to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. This constant inflammation
increases gut permeability, leading to more food sensitivities. Elevated cortisol
levels linked to fat storage contribute to obesity. Understanding these connections is
crucial for managing weight and overall health. How do you manage food sensitivities and associated weight impact? To manage food allergy and sensitivities, start by testing for markers like IgE, IgG4,
IgG, and C3b/d. Infinite Allergy Labs offers the most comprehensive and trusted Food Allergy and Sensitivity test. Upon receiving results, consider an elimination diet, temporarily removing foods with identified sensitivities, and then reintroduce them based on your body’s response, followed by appropriate follow-up measures for a personalized approach to better health. Utilize DIGIN (Digestion, Intestinal Permeability, Gut Microbiome, Immune System, Gut-Brain Connection) model as a
healing option for obesity, aiming to reduce inflammation, heal the leaky gut, and balance dysbiosis.
