How Do I Know If I Have a Food Allergy or Food Sensitivity?

By nutritionbyerin On August 2, 2016 · 3 Comments · In Articles, Food allergies, sensitivities & intolerances
The world of adverse food reactions is quite large, complex, and confusing. There are many differences and similarities between a food allergy and a food sensitivity. The two conditions can briefly be explained as an inappropriate response of the immune system that results in symptoms throughout the body. The symptoms are a result of defensive chemicals called inflammatory mediators that are released into tissues and circulation by the courageous and heroic white blood cells (WBCs), seemingly protecting the body from the “threatening invader” (i.e. harmless food).

In my own attempt to eat a gluten-free diet, I used almond flour in replacement of regular flour. I didn't want to overwhelm any of the natural sweetness of the root vegetables, so I decided to just add a bit of sea salt and hold off any other herb or spice. Sometimes simple is best!
