Addressing Digestive Issues, Fatigue, and More
Have you ever felt bloated, fatigued, or had unexplained skin irritations? These symptoms, among others, might be your body’s way of signaling a reaction to certain foods. At In Touch Wellness Center, we specialize in helping you uncover the hidden culprits behind your symptoms through food sensitivity testing. Located in the heart of Phoenix, AZ, our team is dedicated to improving your overall health by identifying and addressing food sensitivities.
What Is Food Sensitivity Testing?
Food sensitivity testing is a diagnostic tool that identifies how your body reacts to specific foods and ingredients. Unlike food allergies, which trigger immediate and potentially severe reactions, food sensitivities often produce delayed symptoms. These reactions can manifest hours or even days after consuming the offending food, making them difficult to pinpoint without testing.
Why Consider Food Sensitivity Testing?
Food sensitivities can lead to a range of chronic symptoms, including:
- Digestive issues (bloating, diarrhea, constipation)
- Migraines and headaches
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Skin problems (eczema, acne, hives)
- Joint pain and inflammation
- Mood changes (anxiety, irritability, depression)
By identifying and eliminating trigger foods, you can reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and enhance your overall well-being.

Q&A: Your Food Sensitivity Testing Questions Answered
Q: How is food sensitivity different from a food allergy?
A: Food allergies involve an immediate immune response and can lead to severe reactions, such as swelling or anaphylaxis. Food sensitivities, on the other hand, involve a delayed immune response, causing symptoms like bloating, headaches, or fatigue hours to days after consumption.
Q: What types of foods can cause sensitivities?
A: Common culprits include dairy, gluten, eggs, nuts, soy, and certain fruits and vegetables. Sensitivities vary from person to person, which is why testing is essential.
Q: Is food sensitivity testing painful?
A: No, the testing process is simple and minimally invasive, typically involving a small blood sample.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Many patients notice improvements within a few weeks of eliminating trigger foods and following their personalized nutrition plan.
Q: Can food sensitivities develop later in life?
A: Yes, food sensitivities can develop at any age due to factors like stress, hormonal changes, or gut health imbalances.
Q: Will I have to give up my favorite foods permanently?
A: Not necessarily! After an elimination phase, you may be able to reintroduce certain foods in moderation, depending on your body’s tolerance.
