Top Signs You Might Have a Food Sensitivity

Woman sitting on bed holding her stomach in pain due to food sensitivity. Food sensitivities are more common than many people realize, which is why some may turn to food sensitivity testing. Unlike food allergies, which trigger immediate and often severe reactions, food sensitivities can cause subtle and delayed symptoms, making them harder to identify. If you’ve been feeling unwell but can’t pinpoint the cause, here are the top signs that you might have food sensitivity.

At Upward Regenerative Health in Meridian, ID, specialty testing, including food sensitivity testing, is part of a comprehensive approach to optimizing health. Led by Dr. Brad Gilman, MD, who specializes in regenerative medicine, and Dr. Roy Strickland, DC, our team utilizes advanced medical techniques, such as wellness injections and lifestyle changes, to provide personalized care that helps patients enhance well-being.

Digestive Issues

One of the most common signs of food sensitivity is ongoing digestive discomfort, including bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach cramps. If you frequently experience these symptoms after eating, it could indicate that your body is reacting to something in your diet.

Headaches and Migraines

Chronic headaches or migraines that occur without an obvious trigger could be linked to food sensitivities. Many people find that eliminating certain foods from their diet reduces the frequency and severity of their headaches.

Fatigue and Brain Fog

If you feel unusually tired after meals or experience brain fog — a feeling of mental sluggishness — a food sensitivity might be to blame. Your body could be struggling to process a certain food, leading to fatigue or difficulty concentrating.

Skin Problems

Unexplained rashes, acne, or eczema may be related to food sensitivity. When your body reacts to certain foods, it can result in inflammation that shows up on your skin.

Joint Pain

Chronic joint pain or stiffness, especially without an injury or medical explanation, can be another sign of food sensitivity. Certain foods can trigger an inflammatory response, contributing to aches and pains.

Mood Changes

Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety could be linked to what you eat. Food sensitivities can impact your nervous system and hormones, leading to emotional changes.
