Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a food allergy and food intolerance?

Food allergies involve the immune system’s reaction to certain proteins in food, triggering symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis. Food intolerances, on the other hand, typically involve digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea and are caused by difficulty digesting certain foods.

How can I determine if I have a food allergy or food intolerance?

If you suspect you have a food allergy or intolerance, it’s essential to undergo proper testing and evaluation by a qualified allergist or healthcare professional. Tests may include skin prick tests, blood tests, elimination diets, or oral food challenges to identify specific triggers and develop a personalized management plan.

What role does nutrition play in managing allergies and food intolerances?

Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing allergies and food intolerances by helping to identify trigger foods, improve digestive health, and support overall well-being. Our team of registered dietitians works closely with patients to develop individualized nutrition plans that address dietary restrictions, ensure balanced nutrition, and promote optimal health.

Can food allergies and intolerances be managed through diet alone?

In many cases, managing food allergies and intolerances involves dietary modifications, such as avoiding trigger foods and making substitutions to meet nutritional needs. However, it’s essential to work with a healthcare professional to ensure that dietary changes are safe, effective, and sustainable for long-term management.

Are there any supplements or alternative therapies that can help manage allergies and food intolerances?

While some supplements or alternative therapies may claim to alleviate symptoms of allergies or food intolerances, their effectiveness and safety vary. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating supplements or alternative therapies into your treatment plan to ensure they complement your overall management strategy.

What strategies can I use to ensure I’m getting adequate nutrition despite dietary restrictions?

Maintaining a well-balanced diet despite dietary restrictions can be challenging but achievable with proper planning and guidance. Our registered dietitians can provide personalized nutrition counseling, meal planning tips, and recipe ideas to help you navigate dietary restrictions while ensuring you meet your nutritional needs.
