What are the benefits of Food Sensitivity Testing?

This blood test can help streamline the elimination diet process by revealing specific foods which may be triggering inflammation and leading to weight gain.

Food sensitivities can develop over time to certain foods, causing the immune system to become imbalanced, irritated, and up-regulated, which can lead to bloating, gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, arthritis, fatigue, and weight gain.
