Food intolerances vs food sensitivities: separating the wheat from the chaff
Food sensitivities are on the rise. And although greater awareness and better diagnosis tools provide some explanation for the increase, Dr. Elena Verdú from McMaster University (Canada) explains that changes in our environment, the way people eat and lifestyle can all affect the gut microbiome, which can, in turn, lead to the development of food sensitivities.
In this video interview with Dr. Verdú, recorded as part of the GMFH 10th anniversary celebration, she provides some tips for identifying whether symptoms are due to the former or the latter. She also mentions why a good diagnosis by a general practitioner is the first step, before embarking on a restrictive fad diet for managing suspected food sensitivity.
