Food Sensitivity Testing Bergen County NJ
Food sensitivities have been associated with a broad range of medical conditions and, depending on how many allergens are activated, the allergic response can range from mild to severe. It is easy to know when you've consumed the wrong food as it results in an immediate reaction.

Then together we can work on making the changes to your diet so you no longer have to suffer with these symptoms or to at least improve you quality of life.
What is the Difference Between Food Allergies and Intolerances?
Hypersensitivity encompasses both food intolerances and food allergies, though they are fundamentally different medical conditions. Symptoms of food intolerances are typically less severe, mostly limited to gastrointestinal issues. Conversely, a true food allergy triggers an immune system reaction that can affect numerous organs throughout the body.
Why Are Food Sensitivities and Intolerances Difficult to Diagnose?
Common food intolerances, like celiac disease or lactose intolerance, are often more difficult to diagnose than obvious allergies. These sensitivities occur when your body reacts negatively to naturally occurring chemicals in food, or lacks the necessary digestive enzymes to properly break down and absorb vital nutrients.
How Does Family Medical History Affect Your Food Allergy Diagnosis?
Your family medical history is one of the strongest predictors for developing food allergies. A proper diagnosis can be achieved using several different comprehensive food sensitivity testing protocols. This testing process helps medical professionals accurately identify the root cause of the allergic reactions you are experiencing.
Can Testing Identify the Specific Components Causing Allergic Reactions?
Once a specific food is determined to be the causative agent, advanced testing methods pinpoint the exact food component, like a specific protein, causing the severe reaction. Unfortunately, many initial food allergy diagnoses are actually incorrect, highlighting the urgent need for highly accurate clinical diagnostic methods.
How Do MedWell Doctors Use Comprehensive Food Sensitivity Testing?
Food allergy testing must be carefully analyzed alongside food sensitivity data to measure their complete effect on your body. At MedWell, our primary goal is increasing your overall quality of life by performing detailed testing to effectively eliminate the specific foods that your body cannot use.
What Chronic Health Problems Are Linked to Negative Food Reactions?
Identifying problematic allergies and sensitivities allows you to make necessary dietary changes. Negative food reactions are directly linked to chronic health problems like migraines, aching joints, chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, eczema, ADHD, asthma, and obesity. Our doctors identify these causes and provide personalized recommendations to restore your health.
