Below are some examples of health problems that can be linked to food sensitivities.<\/p>\n Some research links IgG-mediated food sensitivities to a number of health problems, including asthma. However, the subtype of antibody is relevant as well. A study conducted on asthmatic children found a link between egg IgG antibodies and asthma<\/a>.<\/p>\n Identifying food sensitivities may help you if you have asthma, or the other conditions in the \u201catopic triangle\u201d, such as eczema and hayfever. Some research shows a link between the level of egg IgG antibodies and symptom severity, which may be caused by inflammation and continual immune reactivity.<\/p>\n When food is difficult to digest due to a food sensitivity, it can cause inflammation all throughout your body. Inflammation of the joints is an example of such inflammation sometimes caused by eating problematic foods. This is why health conditions such as arthritis can sometimes arise from undiagnosed food sensitivities.<\/p>\n Inflammation in the body is uncomfortable, and inflammation in the joints is often quite painful. By getting a food sensitivity test and eliminating the foods that are causing inflammation in your body, you could become much more comfortable and enjoy a higher quality of life.<\/p>\n Another category of chronic illness that is often related to food sensitivities is the painful and debilitating inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). These are autoimmune conditions that attack the colon (ulcerative colitis) or anywhere in the digestive tract (Crohn\u2019s disease). For this reason, a study of people with IBD compared the prevalence of IgE and IgG mediated food sensitivities to see if either was a trigger for inflammation. Higher levels of IgG reactivity were found in subjects who suffered from IBD<\/a>. There was also a stronger relationship between IgG antibodies and Crohn\u2019s disease than with ulcerative colitis.<\/p>\n Many factors can cause skin conditions such as rashes, itching, and acne. However, food sensitivities might be to blame. The only way to find out for sure would be to try an elimination diet<\/a>, cutting out foods your blood test indicated you\u2019re sensitive to, and seeing if the condition of your skin improves.<\/p>\n Food sensitivities can cause itching and rashes. A very severe rash on the skin could be a sign of a food allergy, not a food sensitivity. Food allergies are much more serious than food sensitivities, and you should seek immediate medical attention. To find out what is causing your skin health to deteriorate, try eliminating foods that people are commonly sensitive to, such as dairy or gluten.<\/p>\n Bloating is an uncomfortable sensation that occurs in your stomach when your gastrointestinal (GI) tract is filled with air or excess gas. The onset of belly-bloating can be sudden, and often happens because you\u2019ve eaten a food you\u2019re sensitive to.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re bloated, it\u2019ll feel like there\u2019s increased pressure in your abdomen, and it\u2019s a similar feeling to that \u2018overstuffed\u2019 sensation people feel after a Thanksgiving feast.<\/p>\n Being bloated makes your stomach look bigger, so it\u2019s not just physically uncomfortable, it\u2019s also physically unappealing.<\/p>\n When you have food sensitivities that you\u2019re unaware of, and you\u2019re therefore constantly eating foods that you can\u2019t easily digest, bad bacteria can build up in your gut. This can lead to gassiness and bloating. If you\u2019re always bloated, it\u2019s worth looking into potential food sensitivities such as a possible lactose intolerance<\/a>.<\/p>\n Many people who suffer from IBS find that their IBS symptoms are relieved once they discover they have food sensitivities linked to IBS<\/a>.<\/p>\n IBS is a very common health condition that affects the large intestine. Symptoms of IBS include stomach pain, cramping, excess gas, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.<\/p>\n Those who suffer with IBS won\u2019t necessarily be cured by modifying their diet, but eliminating problematic foods could reduce their IBS symptoms. This is because food sensitivities can make IBS symptoms worse, and those with existing IBS could find that their IBS symptoms are exacerbated if they\u2019re unwittingly eating a food they\u2019re sensitive to and have trouble digesting.<\/p>\n The above list of health conditions are only some of many health issues that can be linked to food sensitivities. In many cases, finding out your trigger foods through a food sensitivity test<\/a> and eliminating the food you\u2019re sensitive to solves the problem. In other cases, the health issue is remedied in a different way.<\/p>\n Food sensitivities may or may not be the culprit causing your health problems, but it\u2019s worth looking into. It\u2019s worth checking to see if you have a food sensitivity, and seeing if eliminating that food resolves your symptoms.<\/p>\n![\"circlemagazine-circledna-food-sensitivities\"](\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1637930030080-4ec4b95914c0?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxzZWFyY2h8Mnx8YXN0aG1hfGVufDB8fDB8fA%3D%3D&w=1000&q=80\")
