Are Certain Foods Silently Affecting Your Health?
You might be eating foods every day that your body doesn’t tolerate well without even realizing it. Unlike food allergies, which cause immediate reactions, food sensitivities can create subtle, long-term issues that are harder to identify.
Symptoms like bloating, fatigue, headaches, skin issues, or brain fog are often linked to food sensitivities. The good news is, with a simple non-invasive test using a hair sample, we can identify the specific foods your body may be reacting to.
Here are the five most common food sensitivities we see in our health reports and how understanding them can improve your daily well-being.
1. Wheat & Gluten
Wheat and gluten sensitivity is one of the most widespread issues. Even if you don’t have celiac disease, your body might still struggle with gluten, leading to:
- Bloating and gas
- Brain fog
- Joint pain
- Skin breakouts
What it means: Gluten can irritate the gut lining, causing inflammation and affecting nutrient absorption. A temporary break from wheat/gluten can show dramatic results for many people.
2. Dairy Products
Milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy items often show up as sensitivities especially cow’s milk.
- Digestive issues like cramps, bloating, or diarrhea
- Sinus congestion or excess mucus
- Acne or skin inflammation
What it means: Sensitivity may come from lactose or casein (milk protein). Alternatives like almond or oat milk are worth trying if you notice a pattern.
3. Soy
Soy is in everything from tofu and soy milk to protein bars and packaged snacks. But for many, it can trigger:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Digestive problems
- Fatigue
What it means: Soy contains phytoestrogens, which can disrupt natural hormone levels in some people especially if consumed in excess.
4. Eggs
While eggs are a healthy protein source, some individuals react to either the yolk or the white.
- Skin rashes
- Stomach discomfort
- Headaches
What it means: Sensitivity to eggs doesn’t always mean full allergy. Many find relief by switching to egg substitutes or limiting intake.
5. Artificial Additives (Colors, Flavors, Preservatives)
It’s not always whole foods causing issues. Artificial ingredients in processed foods often show up as sensitivity triggers.
- Hyperactivity or restlessness
- Headaches
- Sleep problems
What it means: The body may be overloaded by synthetic chemicals, especially in people who eat a lot of packaged or fast food. Cutting back can reduce inflammation and mental stress.
