The Complexity of Food Sensitivities
Food sensitivities are a complex issue with many factors at play. Antigenicity, or how reactive the immune system is to a food protein, can be increased due to food processing, modern farming practices, pesticides, and more. Environmental toxicity, stress, and nutritional deficiencies can also contribute to food sensitivities. The gut plays a crucial role, as issues like leaky gut and dysbiosis can lead to immune system reactions. Hormonal imbalances and mind-body connections also influence food sensitivities. Understanding these factors is important in finding solutions and healing the gut.
