Episode notes
Food Sensitivity vs. Allergy
- Food sensitivities differ from allergies, which are life-threatening.
- Sensitivities cause inflammation, leading to symptoms like brain fog, hives, and joint pain.
Immunoglobulin Reactions
- Sensitivities are identified by IgM or IgG reactions, not IgE like allergies.
- These reactions cause inflammation as white blood cells target food proteins.
Delayed IgG Reactions
- IgG reactions are delayed, making it hard to pinpoint trigger foods.
- People might attribute symptoms to recently eaten food, not what they ate days prior.
