Allergies & Testing

img-Food-AllergiesThe incidence of food allergies has increased over the years. It is estimated that up to 20% of the population have adverse reactions to foods. Allergens can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. From dairy products to gluten, animal dander and pollens; we are surrounded by substances to which we may be sensitive or allergic. Many problems or symptoms that have
been bothering you or your child may be due to hidden allergies. Examples are bloating, weight gain, constipation, pain, ADHD, headaches, fatigue, diarrhea, acne or rashes.
