We all love delicious Holiday foods and the warm feelings that come from sitting down to a holiday meal with friends, family and loved ones.
But if you are one of the many people who suffers from food sensitivities, the holiday season may not be so great.
Get tested for Food Sensitivities and Digestive Imbalances!

Gluten and dairy sensitivities are more common than you would think. When I was growing up, our holiday meals lasted for hours, with several courses for the main meal, then the desserts came out. Of course, I had a healthy serving of everything, but my digestive tract was not happy for days afterward. Many years later, I was tested for Food Sensitivities, and wheat, gluten and dairy were at the top of the list.
Many chronic conditions – from IBS and digestive problems to migraines to fatigue, brain fog, depression, mood disorders, even weight gain – may be indicators of a food sensitivity. Common offenders include dairy and gluten, but food sensitivities can be complex and difficult to pinpoint. In many cases, a less obvious source may be causing or contributing to a patient’s symptoms.
Our Food Sensitivity test offers comprehensive testing to identify food sensitivities to both common and less prevalent offenders that, in some cases, a patient may not even realize are in your diet. Once identified, trigger foods can be controlled to relieve symptoms and help patients lead their healthiest lives.
The gut microbiome is responsible for so much of our overall wellness, including digestion. However, inflammation, leaky gut and dysbiosis can affect the health of our gut microbiome.
Keep your tummy happy this Holiday season!
