Food Allergy Testing Specialists
Imagine knowing that a minor nutritional modification can cure all the chronic symptoms that you have been trying to pinpoint. This is a major fact that we try to convey to many individuals through food allergy testing. Although we are technically omnivores, it is important to recognize that most of us have significant food intolerances. Failing to acknowledge them leads to discomfort, a variety of illnesses and medical issues. This is where food allergy testing plays an important part of functional medicine treatments.
Embark on your Path towards Healing and Wellness
The staff at Internal Healing and Wellness MD, led by Dr. Khan has been providing medical assistance to people from all around Greater Houston and The Woodlands. Their primary goal is to help patients develop a better understanding of their food intolerances, sensitivities, and even potential harmful reactions. Research shows that 60% of Americans suffer from food-based allergies. Our functional medicine and holistic doctors can help you understand what healthy digestion is, identify food-related disorders, and create a customized plan to treat the problems.
When it comes to dietary sensitivities, the term "allergy" is somewhat misleading. After all, food allergies are considered immunological responses, whereas food-related reactions can appear in a number of ways that are not immunologically relevant. Such responses are far more common and far less severe than true anaphylactic reactions, with symptoms that might last up to several hours.
Since dietary deficiencies are frequently misinterpreted in both children and adults, and knowing that food allergies can hit anyone at any stage, testing for these allergies is crucial. These reactions include the following:
- Learning disabilities
- Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- ADD/ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
- Anxiety

Food allergy tests are generally accurate, but they are not 100% reliable. False positives and false negatives can occur, so it's important to interpret the results in the context of the patient's clinical history.
Food allergy testing is recommended for individuals who have a history of allergic reactions to food or who have symptoms that suggest a food allergy. It is also recommended for individuals who have a family history of food allergies or who have been diagnosed with other types of allergies, such as hay fever or asthma.
The time it takes to get food allergy test results varies depending on the type of test. Skin prick tests and blood tests can provide results within a few hours to a few days, while elimination diets and oral food challenges may take longer.
