Food Intolerance
We see many health issues arising from allergies and food sensitivities. From our advanced digestive health testing, we can identify which foods or environmental toxins you are reacting to.
Our Naturopathic doctors will work with you to design a customized treatment plan that addresses your long-term health and wellbeing. By avoiding a specific food, you can relieve the irritation and sensitivity of your digestive and immune system. Once your digestive system improves, we will advise you on whether it’s safe to reintroduce the food or if alternatives are needed.
Food sensitivities are a common cause of many disease states, especially affecting the bowels, skin and respiratory systems. Food intolerance can make you feel tired, lethargic or constipated; symptoms include: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating and eczema.
Food Allergies
The immune system can become overactive, responding to substances that it normally wouldn’t react to. This is what happens in allergies the body reacts as if allergic symptoms were triggered by something harmless.
Allergic reactions occur when your immune system produces a large amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in response to an environmental substance that you’re allergic to.
If you are exposed to the same allergen a second time, your body’s IgEs will recognize it and activate certain immune cells that produce chemicals responsible for producing allergy symptoms.
Food Allergy or Food Intolerance?
Food allergies and food intolerances are both forms of physiological responses to certain foods. However, a person with an intolerance lacks the ability to digest or metabolize that particular component in its usual way – whereas someone who has an allergy is hypersensitive to a specific protein found in that food.
A classic example of this is lactose overreacts to a certain type of food. The two common types are immediate-onset and delayed-onset reactions.
A food allergy is when an immediate or IgE-mediated allergy creates symptoms immediately to within 2 hours, and those symptoms – hives, throat closing, etc – are noticeable enough to not want to eat that food again! Delayed-onset or IgG-mediated food allergies may take 2 to 72 hours (3 days later) for symptoms to present, and these subtle symptoms can include brain fog and fatigue.
It is estimated that as many as 1 in 3 people have delayed-onset food allergies, yet many remain undiagnosed. Contact us to schedule a consultation and get your health back on track.

Allergies
Hypersensitive immune systems overreact to substances that wouldn’t normally trigger an immune response allergies are a prime example of this.
Allergic reactions occur when your body produces large amounts of a type of antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE) in response to contact with an allergen.
Exposure to a substance that triggers an allergic reaction produces antibodies known as immunoglobulin E (IgE) in our bodies. The next time we come into contact with the same allergen, the IgEs recognize it and activate immune cells which release chemicals responsible for producing allergy symptoms.

What Our Patient’s Say About Us
“After experiencing constant and mysterious abdominal pain ever since the birth of my daughter over a year ago, I finally called Dr Bethel Flores for some Holistic Pelvic Care. I was really nervous about getting it done because it is sort of an intimate process and I couldn’t imagine exactly how the session would go, but she made me feel so comfortable! Within a few days of a single treatment, the pain was totally gone. I honestly didn’t even think that my pelvic floor muscles and my abdominal pain could be connected, and I didn’t feel very different at first, but 3 days later, I was pain free for the first time in over a year. I highly recommend this kind of care for anyone post partum”.
“I am very happy wiht the healing skills of the staff of this clinic, all done naturally and they are a very professional team”.

What is gut health?
Gut health contributes to the proper functioning of the digestive tract, and therefore is crucial for extracting nutrients from food and expelling waste.
Having a good balance of intestinal bacteria keeps the body healthy by protecting against other dangerous germs, strengthening your immune system and helping with digestion.
Why is good gut health so important for general health and well-being?
The digestive system is connected to the other systems of our body, including the central nervous system and immune, which means that good digestive health affects overall well-being.
Which foods help good digestion?
Anti-inflammatory foods can help keep the intestine healthy and in good health. Vegetables, fruit and whole grains are staples of anti-inflammatory diets.
What is the relationship between the gut and the immune system?
The two systems are interconnected, and a weak immune system can lead to poor gut health as well as vice versa.
Food Intolerance - What do you test for?
We can test for foods, molds and pollens, as well as anything that you feel may be causing an allergic reaction.
