Hypersensitivity refers to both food intolerances and food allergies; however, these are not the same medical condition. Symptoms of food intolerances are usually much less serious and most often limited to gastrointestinal conditions. Conversely, a food allergy can cause an unwanted immune system reaction that affects numerous organs throughout the body. Common food intolerances, such as celiac disease or lactose intolerance, can be more difficult to diagnose than a more obvious food allergy. Food intolerances or food sensitivities occur when your body reacts to certain naturally occurring chemicals in the food or is unable to digest and absorb nutrients due to missing enzymes.
Your family medical history is one of the best predictors of your developing food allergies and a diagnosis can be made using several different food sensitivity testing protocols. This will help identify the cause of the allergic reaction that you've been experiencing. Once a food is determined to be the causative agent, testing methods are available to help identify the actual food component (e.g. - protein) that is responsible for the severe reaction. Unfortunately, many cases diagnosed as food allergies are incorrect. Food allergy testing should be analyzed along with information about food sensitivities as a measure of the effect these have on your body.
