FOOD SENSITIVITY
Bushra Abbas Mohammad
Food sensitivities
• — also known as delayed hypersensitivity reactions because
they occur within hours to days of exposure — are
sometimes categorized as a subset of food allergies. After all,
they involve the immune system as well.
Food Sensitivity
• Does not typically activate the immune system, but
produces antibodies like IgA and IgG
• Food sensitivities are cell-mediated, not IgE-mediated.
• Reactions can be delayed, but no risk for anaphylaxis
• Can exacerbate inflammation in the body
• Common symptoms: digestive issues, fatigue, headaches,
skin rashes like eczema or dermatitis
Food Sensitivity Symptoms
• Do you suffer from any of the
following symptoms? A food
sensitivity may be to blame.
1. Acne
2. Brain fog
3. Eczema
4. Dry and itchy skin
5. Bloated stomach after eating
6. Fatigue
7. Joint pain
8. Reflux
9. Migraines
10. Diarrhea
11. Depression and mood swings
12. Runny nose
13. Headache
14. Trouble sleeping
15. Dark circles under eyes
Types of Hypersensitivity Reactions
• The response of the host to the
presence of foreign substances
can trigger four types of
hypersensitivity reactions:
• Immediate
• Cytotoxic
• Immune complex
• Cell-mediated
Is there a test for it?
• blood tests can be run for food sensitivities using IgA, IgG,
and other antibodies. These tests can help you quickly
identify foods that may be causing symptoms, but should
not be used as diagnostic tools. Keep in mind these test
results can be unreliable and can change.
