However, there is another type of food allergy, often referred to as a food sensitivity or intolerance, where an instant reaction does not occur. A different antibody is produced (IgA and/or IgG) and delayed response reactions occur. This type of food sensitivity has been associated with a wide range of issues, including: insomnia, achy body, asthma, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, indigestion, bloating, brain fog, thyroid issues, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and more.

   

What’s tricky about this type of food sensitivity is that the symptoms don’t usually appear at the exact time the food is ingested. As a result, many people don’t realize what’s happening and that a food sensitivity may be contributing to, or even causing, many health challenges they may be struggling with. The most common food sensitivity allergens include: wheat, dairy, egg, corn, tree nuts, soy, fish and crustacean shellfish.

   

Anyone can develop a food sensitivity to almost any food substance—especially something that’s ingested often and creates a craving. People who are struggling with health issues that can’t be diagnosed, might want to get tested for food sensitivities. It could change, and perhaps even save, a life.
