Do you often feel bloated, fatigued, or foggy after meals, but can’t pinpoint why? Food sensitivities might be to blame.
Unlike food allergies, which trigger immediate and often severe reactions, sensitivities tend to produce delayed and subtle effects. These can include digestive distress, headaches, skin issues, or even mood swings, making the culprit harder to identify.
At Body Rx Miami, we help patients uncover the underlying causes of their symptoms. With over 10 years of experience, in-depth testing, and tailored nutritional guidance, our team empowers you to regain control of your health and feel your best.
10 Common Food Sensitivities
While sensitivities can vary from person to person, these are some of the most frequently reported.
Dairy
Lactose and casein, found in milk products, often trigger bloating, cramping, sinus issues, or skin problems in individuals who are sensitive to them.
Gluten
Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye. Sensitivity can cause digestive upset, brain fog, fatigue, and joint discomfort. These issues can even occur in those who test negative for celiac disease.
Eggs
Egg whites are more likely than yolks to cause reactions such as bloating, rashes, or joint pain. This sensitivity often goes unnoticed due to the presence of eggs in many foods.
Soy
Soy can interfere with hormone regulation and may lead to bloating, fatigue, or acne in some people, especially when consumed frequently.
Corn
Corn and its derivatives are common in processed foods. Sensitivity can manifest as headaches, bloating, or even mood swings.
Yeast
Yeast sensitivity, including both brewer’s and baker’s yeast, can cause fatigue, gas, and bloating. It may also worsen skin conditions like eczema.
Shellfish
Even in non-allergic individuals, mild shellfish sensitivities can result in digestive issues or hives. These symptoms are sometimes mistaken for food poisoning.
Tree Nuts
Almonds, walnuts, and other tree nuts may trigger low-grade inflammation. This can lead to fogginess, joint discomfort, or skin issues.
Citrus Fruits
Citrus can aggravate acid reflux, mouth sores, or skin rashes in sensitive individuals. This is especially likely when citrus is consumed in large quantities.
Artificial Additives
Preservatives, dyes, and sweeteners like aspartame may disrupt gut health, contribute to hyperactivity, or worsen migraines.
