Food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances can significantly impact gut health, immune function, and overall patient well-being. Differentiating between true allergies and adverse food reactions is essential for effective diagnosis and management. This session will cover the most prevalent food allergens, clinical presentations, and diagnostic approaches for identifying immune-mediated and non-immune reactions. Key topics include antibody production and immune tolerance, strategies for detecting allergies to mold, food additives, and preservatives, as well as practical patient management techniques. The role of elimination, rotation, and reintroduction protocols will also be explored to support long-term gut health and symptom relief.
