What is the difference between Allergy Testing and Sensitivity Testing?
A. Allergy is a specific response which involves the immune system and generally does not lessen throughout a persons life. In fact, an allergic response may increase with each exposure. Sensitivity to foods stimulates an undesirable reaction. Sensitivity to foods can be eradicated or lessened by avoiding or reducing contact with suspect foods. Check your results for suspect foods where you have a positive reaction mark. Conversely a person may develop a sensitivity to a particular food that they expose themselves to.
