Food Sensitivity Testing

Food sensitivity testing helps uncover how your body reacts to different foods. Unlike food allergies, which trigger an immediate immune response, food sensitivities can cause delayed reactions. These reactions can be subtle but may still affect your health. By identifying the foods that don’t agree with you, food sensitivity testing can help improve your overall well-being.

Signs and Symptoms of Food Sensitivities

Food sensitivities can show up in many ways. You might experience bloating, headaches, or feel tired more often than usual. Some people even notice changes in their skin or mood. If these symptoms are ongoing, it could be related to food sensitivities. Finding the cause can make a big difference in how you feel day to day.

The Testing Process

At TruHealth PT, food sensitivity testing is simple and informative. We use a blood test to identify which foods may be causing issues in your body. This test looks for delayed reactions to common foods, helping us pinpoint sensitivities you may not have known about. After testing, you’ll get a detailed report showing which foods to avoid or limit. The process is quick and gives you clear answers about your body’s unique needs.

Benefits of Food Sensitivity Testing

Improved Digestion

By identifying and avoiding foods that cause sensitivity, many people experience significant relief from digestive issues like bloating, gas, and discomfort. This can help restore regular digestion and reduce gastrointestinal stress, leading to a healthier gut.

Increased Energy Levels

Eliminating trigger foods often results in higher energy levels. When your body isn’t fighting against foods it doesn’t tolerate well, you can experience greater mental clarity and sustained energy throughout the day.

Reduced Inflammation and Pain

Chronic inflammation can be linked to food sensitivities. By identifying these foods, you may reduce inflammation, which can lead to less pain and better management of conditions such as joint pain, headaches, and other inflammatory responses.

Enhanced PT Outcomes

Food sensitivity testing can complement your physical therapy treatments. By reducing inflammation and pain through proper diet adjustments, your body may respond better to therapy, allowing for quicker recovery and improved treatment results.

Types of Tests Offered at TruHealth PT

At TruHealth PT, we offer several food sensitivity testing options to meet your needs. Our tests identify sensitivities to a wide range of foods, including gluten, dairy, nuts, and more. We offer both in-clinic testing and convenient at-home tests. The at-home option allows you to collect a sample in the comfort of your own space and send it back to our lab for analysis. Whether you prefer an in-person visit or the flexibility of at-home testing, we have a solution that works for you.

How Food Sensitivity Testing Helps Your Therapy Journey

Food sensitivity testing plays an important role in your overall therapy plan. By identifying foods that may be causing inflammation or slowing your recovery, we can help tailor your diet to support your healing process. When combined with physical therapy, removing trigger foods from your diet can enhance your body’s ability to recover, reduce pain, and improve your results. Many of our patients have experienced faster progress and long-term improvements by addressing their food sensitivities along with their physical therapy treatments.

Real Results, Real People

“Honestly some of the best people I know. I’ve never seen a PT before, but coming in to deal with some military injuries has been transformational. After some knee and IT band work, I am back training for my 50 miler, squatting over 250, and feel like myself. Affordable with insurance. Highly recommend.”

“James is knowledgeable, encouraging, helps keep my mom motivated, and the exercises he gives her both pre and post surgery have made her back fusion recovery so much easier on her — both body and mind. I highly recommend James for any injury or surgical recovery.”

“Went to James for a bulged disk in my lower back for about 6 weeks, he worked his magic and showed me how to strengthen the muscles around it along with stretching and I haven’t had any issues since. He is very involved and knows what I need, I don’t feel like just another patient with him. Would recommend him to anyone.”
