Food Sensitivities 101: Understanding How Your Triggers Quietly Fuel Inflammation | Ep. 33
In this episode of Backyard Health, I’m pulling back the curtain on food sensitivity testing so you can finally understand what those results mean — and more importantly, how to actually use them without cutting out everything you love.
We’re going to talk about:
- The real difference between allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances (because most people mix these up)
- How IgA and IgG antibodies tell us where in your body your immune system is reacting — and why it matters
- The specific pattern that means a food is really worth pausing for a while
- Why the “cut everything forever” elimination approach doesn’t work — and what to do instead
- My exact framework for lowering inflammation, healing your gut, and reintroducing foods without flares
If you want to go even deeper, I have a full episode on one of the most common reactive foods I see — dairy — in Episode 1. Listen here: Lactose Digestion: intolerances vs sensitivities, tracking your symptoms & digestive tools
And if today’s episode has you thinking, “This is me. I need someone to walk me through this step-by-step,” that’s exactly what I do inside my 1:1 Digestive Wellness Packages. We run the right functional tests for your body, figure out exactly what’s driving your inflammation, and build a gut repair plan that actually fits your real life — so you can eat without symptoms running the show.
