Is that rash, spit-up, or fussiness a food allergy…or just a sensitivity? In this episode of Functional Medicine for Moms, we unpack the difference between true food allergies (IgE reactions) and food sensitivities (IgG/IgA), and how these show up in both babies and adults.

We’ll talk about:

• The difference between allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances
• How gut health shapes food reactions in babies and moms
• Common signs to watch for (eczema, mucusy stools, fussiness, congestion)
• Whether food reactions mean your baby will always have that issue
• How breastfeeding protects against allergies (and what to do if formula feeding)
• Practical steps to support gut health + build tolerance

This is a hope-filled, functional medicine perspective to help you feel less overwhelmed and more equipped in your motherhood journey.
