Food sensitivities today are becoming increasingly common due to the modern processing of food which includes genetic modification, hybridization, and heavy pesticide/herbicide use. Unlike food allergies, food “sensitivity” reactions can occur in the body with no symptoms, despite the underlying harm they can create. If left unaddressed, food sensitivities promote long-term inflammation, which is the root cause of chronic illness. Common symptoms of food sensitivities can include: chronic fatigue, abdominal distention/bloating, brain fog, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea, vomiting, headaches, sinus drainage/congestion, joint pain, rashes, fever, and in some instances hives.

Miss Alexa uses Vibrant Wellness’ Food Sensitivity Panel, which offers very specific antibody-to-antigen recognition for a total of 96 commonly consumed foods. This panel measures an individual’s IgG and IgA sensitivity to food antigens. Being able to test IgA antibodies provides additional information to foods that may be causing mucosal damage. Additionally, this test is ideal for patients who might be suffering from delayed reactions to certain foods.
