The intestines are designed to absorb nutrients from passing food. Intestinal walls can become expanded or damaged due to chronic inflammation from the chemicals in processed food and the environment. This leads to larger pores for other molecules to be absorbed into the bloodstream. These molecules can end up anywhere—in joints, an organ, or even attached to nervous tissue.
These molecules were never meant to pass through the intestine. The immune system will label these molecules as foreign objects and attack those substances. This process naturally creates inflammation, because the body is signaling there is an issue. It also causes histamine release from immune cells called mast cells. This is how new sensitivities to foods appear.
Food sensitivities are caused by the body’s inability to break down certain ingredients or foods. For some, food sensitivities cause only mild discomfort. For others, food intolerances cause a great deal of stress and anxiety and keep people from enjoying the foods they once found pleasure in consuming.
Getting to the root cause of food sensitivity means isolating the substances that are causing inflammation in the intestines. We use blood tests to isolate allergens. Then, our holistic practitioners create a plan that systematically eliminates triggers from the diet while prescribing herbal remedies that work with the body to alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. Some of the most common causes of food insensitivities are ingredients in common foods including:
