Allergy Testing: Finding the Root Cause of Your Sickness
Did you know that some of the foods you are consuming can actually be making you sick? Allergy testing can reveal food intolerances which may cause chronic inflammation and an immune system response that can trigger many symptoms including:
- Headaches/Migraines
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia
- ADD/ADHD
- Autism/Asperger’s/Sensory Processing Disorders
- Rheumatoid arthritis/Lupus/Autoimmune Disorders
- Joint aches and pains
- Fuzzy thinking/Cloudy memory/Inability to Focus
- Skin disorders (acne, eczema, psoriasis)
- Digestive disorders (IBS, chronic constipation, gas/bloating)
At Turning Point Wellness Center, we will learn more about the conditions you are experiencing and can offer food allergy testing to help determine the root of the problem. These services, offered for patients ages 3 and up, have produced dramatic results for many of our patients.
Finding the Root Problem
The most common food allergens that we find today are dairy, gluten, wheat, soy, and corn. However, a person can develop an immune reaction to just about any food, food additive, herb, dye, or preservative.
When trying to determine the aggravating factor, there are typically two options for patients:
An elimination diet can sometimes help focus symptoms enough to find which foods are the causative factors. However, this is a process that can take up to several months.
Allergy/food sensitivity testing helps patients who either have difficulty doing an elimination diet, or have tried it and still haven’t been able to find the offending foods.
