Ending the Guesswork: Root-Cause Food Sensitivity & Allergy Testing

Do you struggle with unexplained bloating, migraines, skin rashes, joint pain, or fatigue after meals—yet allergy tests come back negative?

There is a major clinical distinction between a true food allergy and a delayed food sensitivity or intolerance. While true IgE-mediated allergies trigger rapid, severe reactions (like hives or anaphylaxis), delayed IgG and IgA sensitivities can take up to 72 hours to manifest, making them virtually impossible to identify through intuition or basic elimination diets alone.

At Infinite Wellness in Fort Mill, SC, we provide advanced immune and functional food panels to uncover hidden reactive foods, heal underlying gut permeability, and restore food tolerance.

 

Understanding the Difference: Allergy vs. Sensitivity vs. Intolerance

Reaction Type Primary Mechanism Onset of Symptoms Common Symptoms
Food Allergy (IgE) Immediate mast cell & histamine release Minutes to 2 hours Hives, swelling, wheezing, anaphylaxis
Food Sensitivity (IgG/IgA) Delayed immune complex formation Hours to 3 days (up to 72 hrs) Brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, skin flares, IBS
Food Intolerance Enzyme deficiency (e.g., lactose, histamine) 30 minutes to 24 hours Gas, bloating, diarrhea, reflux, flushing

Why Do Food Sensitivities Develop?

Food sensitivities are rarely caused by the food itself; they are typically symptoms of an irritated, hyper-reactive gut:

  • “Leaky Gut” (Intestinal Permeability): When the mucosal wall breaks down, undigested food proteins slip into the bloodstream where immune cells tag them as foreign invaders.

  • Microbiome Imbalance & Dysbiosis: Insufficient beneficial flora prevents proper breakdown of complex proteins and carbohydrates.

  • Digestive Enzyme & Stomach Acid Deficiencies: Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) and low pancreatic enzymes prevent foods from being broken down into harmless single amino acids.

  • Histamine Intolerance & Low DAO Enzyme: Inability to degrade dietary histamine leads to allergy-like symptoms without a true allergen present.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing Panels

    • Comprehensive Delayed IgG & IgA Food Panels: Screens 100–200+ common foods, spices, and additives for delayed immune reactivity.

    • Intestinal Permeability Panels (Zonulin & Occludin Antibodies): Measures whether gut barrier breakdown is actively fueling new food reactions.

    • Histamine & Diamine Oxidase (DAO) Testing: Pinpoints histamine breakdown issues driving unexplained itching, headaches, and nasal congestion.

    • Comprehensive Stool & Digestive Flora Analysis: Evaluates whether low digestive capacity or dysbiosis is preventing protein breakdown.
