Food allergies have become more and more common over the past few decades. Allergies to foods like nuts and shellfish have been on the rise and tend to be severe. Unfortunately, it can even be a life-threatening situation. The world has taken steps to make schools and workplaces safer for people with allergies, but there is also a great way to protect yourself. There are a few different ways to get food allergy testing in Vancouver, and Inspirit Health Group has the best available.
Why You Should Visit Us for Allergy Testing in Vancouver BC
Having food allergy testing done is a great way to determine which foods you should avoid before it turns into a dangerous situation. It is also important to understand the difference between having a food allergy and a food sensitivity.
Both food allergies and food sensitivities can cause adverse reactions, but the severity and type will vary. In the case of allergies, your immune system will often react immediately and present symptoms like hives and difficulty breathing. Food sensitivity reactions are more delayed and tend to more commonly affect the digestive system, cause joint pain and even cause bouts of eczema or hypertension.
