Are Food Sensitivity Tests Making You Fear Food?
In this video Brigid Titgemeier reflects on the widespread use of food sensitivity testing in her practice, noting that it often generated fear and overly restrictive diets. She describes the typical reintroduction schedule—usually at six weeks or three months—and acknowledges that some patients benefited, but many experienced unnecessary limitations. Titgemeier argues that a more effective starting point is to address blood‑sugar imbalances, which can mimic sensitivity symptoms, and to focus on gut healing and an anti‑inflammatory diet. While she sees a role for sensitivity testing in identifying specific inflammatory triggers, she emphasizes that prioritizing blood‑sugar balance, gut health, and removing major inflammatory foods can improve symptoms for the majority of people.
