Love Your Gut

Ep. 98: Do you need a food sensitivity test in order to fix your GI issues?


Listen Later

If you’re wondering whether food sensitivity testing will finally explain your bloating, constipation, or GI reactions, this episode is for you. We talk through why food sensitivity lists often keep growing, what those results are actually reflecting, and why eliminating more foods doesn’t always lead to lasting relief. 

You’ll learn how digestion, stress, and immune signaling influence food reactions, why many people feel worse after doing “everything right,” and what question to ask instead if you want real progress.

If you have ever been curious about food sensitivity testing and what it actually measures or shows related to your gut health, make sure to listen in! 

In this episode, Dr. Heather covers:

  • Should you do food sensitivity testing to fix bloating and GI issues?
  • Why “safe food” lists often keep shrinking
  • What food reactions can signal beyond the food itself
  • Why cutting out more foods doesn’t always improve digestion
  • What to focus on if food sensitivity testing hasn’t helped
