Uncover Your Food Sensitivities and Transform Your Health
Are you experiencing digestive discomfort, fatigue, or other unexplained symptoms? The cause could be hidden in your diet. At CIH, we provide comprehensive food allergy and sensitivity testing to help you identify foods that may be triggering adverse reactions and affecting your health. Our expert Functional Nutritionists use advanced testing methods to help you uncover food intolerances and make informed decisions to enhance your wellness.
Understanding Food Allergies and Sensitivities:
Food Allergies
Trigger an immediate and potentially severe immune response, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
Food Sensitivities
Cause delayed reactions, often within 3-72 hours after eating the food, leading to symptoms like digestive issues, fatigue, headaches, and skin problems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Still have questions? We’re here to help. Find answers to common questions below, or contact us for personalized guidance.
What is the difference between a food allergy and a food sensitivity?
Food allergies cause an immediate and often severe immune reaction, while food sensitivities cause delayed and typically less severe symptoms, often affecting digestion, fatigue, and skin health.
How long will it take to get my results?
Results typically take 5-7 business days.
What if I test positive for a food sensitivity?
Your Functional Nutritionist will guide you through an elimination and reintroduction plan to help you manage your sensitivities and optimize your diet for gut health and overall wellness.
Do I need to avoid the foods I'm sensitive to forever?
Not necessarily. Food sensitivities can change over time, and with proper gut healing and immune support, you may be able to reintroduce some foods later.
