Food Sensitivities

Reactions to food range from true IgE-mediated allergy, which can be dangerous, to intolerances such as lactose intolerance and non-specific sensitivities. Distinguishing them matters, because the management is entirely different.

What to Expect

Your physician takes a detailed history of what you ate, what happened, and how quickly, then uses testing selectively where it is informative. Structured elimination and reintroduction is often more useful than broad panels, and true allergy is managed with avoidance and an emergency plan.
