Food Allergy Testing in The Woodlands 

Food Allergies vs. Food Sensitivities vs. Intolerances

Food Allergies: A true food allergy triggers an immune system response that can be severe and even life-threatening. Symptoms often include swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis. These reactions typically occur within minutes to a few hours after consuming the allergen.

Food Sensitivities: Unlike allergies, food sensitivities trigger milder, delayed responses. Symptoms can range from bloating and headaches to joint pain and fatigue. These reactions can take several hours or even days to appear, making them difficult to identify without testing.

Food Intolerances: A food intolerance generally involves digestive issues caused by the body’s inability to process certain components, such as lactose or gluten. This condition does not involve the immune system but can still cause discomfort and health concerns.
