Episode 13: Was it Something I Ate? Food Allergies, Sensitivities and Intolerances.

Brittany and Tom review the extremely relevant topic of adverse food reactions.

Are you or your child having a reaction to something in your diet?  This episode takes a Functional Medicine look at the differences between more classic food allergies and anaphylaxis, and other immune and non-immune reactions to foods. They answer frequent parent questions such as:

What are the most common foods that you might be allergic to?

Will my kid outgrow their food allergies? 

What are the benefits and limitations of food allergy testing?

What is EoE  (eosinophilic esophagitis)?

Is eczema a food reaction?

What is an allergy versus a sensitivity? 

How are these different from intolerances? (lactose, fructose, histamine)

They draw a lot of information from their own clinical experience as well as the Food Allergies chapter of Tom's book "Feeding Our Children"
