“Let food be thy medicine…”
Diet plays a critical role in achieving optimal wellness and preventing a wide range of degenerative diseases and premature aging. At Back To Health Family Chiropractic, we provide detailed testing for food allergies and sensitivities/intolerances so you can improve your overall health, avoid dangerous reactions, and reduce digestive discomfort.
What Is A Food Intolerance?
Food Sensitivity Testing in Fort Worth, TX
Do you suspect certain foods are making you tired, bloated, or causing skin or respiratory symptoms? Our comprehensive food sensitivity testing identifies delayed food intolerances so you can reduce inflammation, support gut health, and feel your best.
We test hundreds of foods, additives, molds, and common chemicals — then provide a guided elimination and reintroduction plan to help you achieve long-term, sustainable results.
Food Allergy vs. Food Sensitivity
Food Allergies
Food allergies trigger an immediate immune response that may cause:
- Hives
- Facial or throat swelling
- Difficulty breathing
- In severe cases, anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction
When a true food allergy is identified, the food must be avoided completely.
About 90% of food allergies come from peanuts, tree nuts, soy, milk, eggs, and shellfish. Food allergies affect roughly 4% of adults and 7% of children.
Food Sensitivities (Intolerances)
Food sensitivities do not create an immediate immune reaction and are generally not dangerous. Symptoms often appear hours or even days later and typically arise from the digestive system rather than histamine release.
Common signs include:
- Bloating or abdominal pain
- Upset stomach or diarrhea
- Excess gas
- Acid reflux
- Fatigue or brain fog
Health Concerns Linked to Food Intolerances
Hidden food sensitivities may contribute to or worsen a wide range of chronic inflammatory-related conditions, including:
- Migraine headaches
- IBS and other gastrointestinal disorders
- Skin disorders such as eczema or psoriasis
- Respiratory symptoms such as asthma
- Chronic fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Achy joints or arthritis
- Difficulty losing weight
- Mood changes or irritability
- Attention and focus issues (ADD/ADHD)
- Hormone imbalances
- Metabolic concerns
- Premature aging
- Weight gain or weight loss
- Other chronic inflammatory symptoms
Food sensitivities can also lead to inflammation in the stomach and intestines, affecting digestion and nutrient absorption. Many sensitivities improve with a structured elimination diet and careful reintroduction.
Food intolerances are common and may affect a large portion of the population.
