Discover how food sensitivity testing through Aligned Modern Health helps uncover dietary triggers behind fatigue, inflammation, and digestive symptoms. Available statewide across Colorado through our Functional Medicine clinics and Virtual Care services.
If you’ve struggled with unexplained bloating, fatigue, headaches, or skin irritation, the foods you eat may be part of the cause. Food sensitivity testing reveals hidden reactions that affect digestion, mood, and overall health. At Aligned Modern Health, our Functional Medicine providers offer comprehensive food sensitivity testing across Colorado—serving patients from Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins through both in-person and Virtual Care.
“When patients finally see their food sensitivity data mapped out, it’s often a moment of clarity. Testing can confirm what intuition has been hinting at—and that knowledge becomes a real turning point in their healing process.”
— Dr. Blake Butler, Functional Medicine Physician
Aligned Modern Health also offers Functional Medicine care through our statewide program: Functional Medicine in Colorado.
Unlike allergy testing—which detects fast, immune-driven reactions—food sensitivity tests identify delayed responses that build up over time. Our Functional Medicine providers offer statewide access to food sensitivity testing in Colorado, serving patients from Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins through both in-person and Virtual Care options.
| Condition | What Happens in the Body | Typical Symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| Food Allergy | Immediate immune reaction (IgE) | Hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis |
| Food Sensitivity | Delayed immune response (often IgG-mediated) | Bloating, fatigue, joint pain, headaches |
| Food Intolerance | Digestive enzyme deficiency or chemical reaction | Gas, cramping, diarrhea (e.g., lactose intolerance) |
Each involves distinct biological mechanisms. Comprehensive testing helps our clinicians pinpoint whether your symptoms stem from immune, digestive, or inflammatory pathways.
At Aligned Modern Health, we combine Functional Medicine testing and nutrition expertise to uncover why symptoms are happening—not just how to manage them.
A simple blood draw measures immune reactivity to dozens of common foods. IgG and IgA antibodies reflect delayed or digestive immune responses that can signal food sensitivities and diet-related inflammation, rather than true food allergies (which involve IgE antibodies).
A structured removal and reintroduction process confirms which foods trigger symptoms. This method complements lab data to provide the most accurate picture of your body’s responses.
Some patients start with at-home kits for convenience, but professional testing ensures accurate interpretation, reliable data, and targeted next steps for long-term results.
Your genes can influence how you metabolize foods and nutrients. Functional testing at Aligned Modern Health incorporates genetic insights into your nutrition plan when appropriate, helping create a more personalized path toward symptom relief and wellness.
Commonly tested food groups include:
Our clinicians interpret your results within the broader context of hormone balance, gut function, and inflammation—so every recommendation supports long-term healing.
