Food intolerance – Mediated by the Igg antibody.
It means either the body cannot properly digest the food that is eaten, or that a particular food
might irritate the digestive system. Symptoms of food intolerance can include nausea, gas,
cramps, abdominal pain, diarrhea, irritability, nervousness, or headaches.
Food Allergy – Mediated by the Ige antibody.
A food allergy happens when the body’s immune system, which normally fights infections, sees
the food as an invader. This leads to an allergic reaction — a response from the immune system
in which chemicals like histamine are released in the body. The reaction can cause symptoms
like breathing problems, throat tightness, hoarseness, coughing, vomiting, abdominal pain,
hives, swelling, or a drop in blood pressure.
Even if previous reactions have been mild, someone with a food allergy is always at risk of the
next reaction being life-threatening. Eating a microscopic amount of the food, or sometimes
even touching or inhaling it, could lead to anaphylaxis. So anyone with a food allergy must avoid
the problem food(s) entirely and always carry emergency injectable epinephrine.
Many people with food sensitivities, on the other hand, can ingest a small amount of the
bothersome food without a problem.
The reliability of food intolerance tests widely varies across the market. You’ll find low priced
tests on
discount websites such as Groupon, or paid advertisements when you search ‘food intolerance
tests. However, the quality and benefits associated with each provider are often misleading and
many have no scientific basis at all.
Simply because there is no scientific proof!
And the explanation is quite logical. How can a hair (dead tissue) indicate intolerance reactions?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to identify the reaction of antibodies against certain food
components through the blood?
If you are hungry for health, don’t just look for the best price, look for professional help so you
can have confidence in what is being done and prescribed for you.
