A Smarter Approach to Food Related Reactions
Food related reactions can feel confusing and frustrating. Some symptoms happen right away, while others show up hours or even days later, making it hard to connect the dots. At Elaria Allergy and Integrative Health, food allergy and food sensitivity evaluation focuses on understanding how your immune system responds to food and why symptoms may be continuing.
We take time to listen to your story, look for patterns, and create a clear plan forward. The goal is not quick answers, but real understanding that supports comfort, confidence, and long term health while helping you make informed choices about daily nutrition and care.
Understanding Food Allergies vs Food Sensitivities
Food allergies and food sensitivities are not the same, even though they are often confused. A food allergy involves a clear immune reaction that can cause immediate symptoms and, in some cases, serious health risks.
Food sensitivities tend to cause symptoms that are delayed, less predictable, or inconsistent, which makes them harder to recognize.
Food allergies are usually easier to connect to a specific food because the reaction happens quickly. Food sensitivities often build quietly over time and may affect multiple systems in the body.
Both deserve careful attention, but they require different evaluation methods and care strategies to properly understand what is happening and how to move forward safely.
