Episode notes
Don’t Permanently Ban Foods From One Test
- Don't treat one food-sensitivity snapshot as permanent; retest and address root causes before lifelong elimination.
- Work on gut healing and reintroduce foods clinically rather than banning healthy foods forever.
Many Positives Often Mean Leaky Gut
- When many non-inflammatory foods test positive it often signals leaky gut and immune overreaction, not the foods themselves.
- The food list often reflects immune amplification of an existing gut barrier problem.
Use Temporary Eliminations Strategically
- If a food removal moves the needle on symptoms, use it temporarily while fixing upstream issues.
- Plan clinical, gradual reintroductions as gut and immune resilience improve.
