In a food allergy, the areas of the body usually affected are limited to airways, skin, and gastrointestinal tract..typically acute with symptoms occurring seconds to 1 hour after ingestion...the Immunologic mechanisms are IgE. In a food sensitivity, any organ system in the body can be affected...symptoms are usually chronic and sometimes acute and occur 45 minutes up to 3 days after ingestion. The immunologic mechanisms are White blood cells; IgG (and subclasses), IgM antibodies; C3 & C4 Here at Healthful Direction we focus on identifying food sensitivities and work to eliminate through food elimination and an even faster & more pleasant route, your innate wisdom.
