Most people don’t know that food sensitivities can cause any or all of these symptoms:
• Inability to lose fat and weight
• Bloating and indigestion
• Congestion, allergies and sinus issues
• Skin issues such as acne and rashes
• Mood swings
• Headaches
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Food cravings for sweets and specific foods
If you have any of these symptoms or compliants, it’s important to determine if food sensitivities are causing the problem.
How can you be sure if food sensitivities are causing the problem?
By taking a Food Sensitivity Profile. This test is measures levels of IgG4 antibodies specific to 30 or 90 different foods. These antibodies can cause inflammatory reactions at various sites in the body, including the large and small intestines, kidneys, skin, sinuses, head, joints, and lungs. Since IgG4 antibodies a delayed response, there does not have to be an obvious association between a particular food and an adverse reaction. This test tells you exactly which foods are causing the problem as well as if it is a mild, moderate, or severe reaction.
This test changes people’s lives. I personally had some food sensitivities that were not causing me any specific symptoms but were affecting my current state of health. Food sensitivities can occur at any age, triggering many symptoms and can cause a variety of disorders if left undetected.
If you are interested in more information about food sensitivities or would like a clinical consultation with Dr. Michael Jurgelewicz, please call our us at 215-504-7200.
