Okay so when we are talking food allergy, we are talking symptoms like:
💚 hives
💚 swelling
💚 anaphylaxis
💚 difficulty breathing
These are an immune response to a food causing your body to think it’s being threatened or in danger
When we are talking food intolerance or sensitivity, we are talking:
💚 bloating
💚 brain fog
💚 headaches
💚 diarrhea/constipation
💚 joint pain
💚 fatigue
💚 stomach pains
Intolerance symptoms can show up hours to DAYS after eating a food. Allergy symptoms are more immediate.
Keep this in mind when you’re speaking with your provider about your symptoms so you know whether a food ALLERGY panel is something that makes sense for you. I find a lot of times, patients get these done and are disappointed to find no answers to their chronic bloating/fatigue/indigestion etc., but we weren’t going to find those answers on an allergy panel y’all.
