Discover how food sensitivity testing through Aligned Modern Health helps identify food triggers behind fatigue, bloating, and inflammation. Available statewide across Florida through Functional Medicine and Virtual Care.
“When we can show patients their food sensitivity patterns in context—alongside hormones, nutrients, and gut data—it stops being guesswork. They finally see why their body reacts the way it does, and what to do next.”
— Dr. Blake Butler, Functional Medicine Physician
Aligned Modern Health also offers Functional Medicine services in Florida and across other states including Chicago, Colorado, Arizona, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, with statewide care and Virtual options for eligible patients.
Food sensitivity testing looks beyond immediate allergies to reveal delayed immune or inflammatory responses to common foods. These slower reactions can contribute to long-term issues like digestive discomfort, fatigue, and weight changes—often without clear patterns. Our Functional Medicine team uses testing to create individualized care plans that blend nutrition, hormone balance, and gut repair for sustainable results.
| 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, headaches, inflammation |
| Food Intolerance | Digestive enzyme deficiency or chemical reaction | Cramping, gas, 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.
“The goal isn’t to take foods away forever—it’s to understand your biology well enough to heal, rebalance, and reintroduce foods safely. Testing is a tool for freedom, not restriction.”
— Dr. Blake Butler, Functional Medicine Physician
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).
