Are you feeling unwell after meals? Experiencing symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea? If you suspect that certain foods might be the culprit, a food sensitivity test could provide the answers you need. At No Diet Dietitian, we specialize in helping you understand your body better and tailor your diet to your specific needs.
Food sensitivities, also known as food intolerances, occur when your digestive system struggles to process specific foods. This can lead to a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, diarrhea, and bloating, as well as non-GI issues like itchy skin, joint pain, and brain fog. Unlike food allergies, which involve an immune response and can be life-threatening, food sensitivities typically do not pose a serious risk.
Food sensitivities are not usually hereditary, although a slight genetic predisposition can exist. They can arise from various factors, including gastrointestinal conditions, stress, environmental influences, sensitivity to food additives, a lack of digestive enzymes or antibiotic use. In some cases, sensitivities may improve or even resolve over time, but many individuals find it necessary to seek guidance from a healthcare professional for long-term management.
If you experience these symptoms on a regular basis, it may be time to consider food sensitivity testing and working with a dietitian trained in this area to create a customized plan to get your gut health back on track!
At No Diet Dietitian, we love the Mediator Release Test (MRT) for food sensitivity testing. The MRT is fast, and results are typically available within a week. The MRT is also accurate, as it measures diet-induced sensitivity pathways, giving a comprehensive view of your body’s responses.
This information allows us to create an individualized LEAP eating plan tailored specifically to you, helping you achieve optimal health and well-being.
The cost can vary depending on the type of test. Contact us for specific pricing details on MRT.
Insurance coverage for food sensitivity testing will vary. We recommend checking with your provider.
Results from the MRT typically take about a week. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way!
