Food Sensitivities, Intolerances, & Allergies
Dietary factors are involved in many chronic diseases that may not seem overtly related to the gut, as symptoms are seen outside of the GI tract. These issues may include nutrient malabsorption and deficiency, or reactions to food additives. Identifying and reducing exposure to such food reactions can reduce inflammation and optimize GI health.
Connecting Food Triggers to Symptoms
"Food reactions can encompass many different symptoms depending on the patient. Functional medicine seeks out why the symptoms are occurring and how they are connected to dysfunction in other parts of the body." - Jessica Carter, RDN, IFMCP
