Food Allergies

Food allergies can also be called food sensitivities or food intolerances. They all can cause a variety of symptoms.  Our practitioner can help reveal and in some cases reduce or eliminate food allergies and their symptoms.

Research has shown that around 60% of the US population suffers from food reactions that are causing health challenges. Our “delayed” IgG4 antibodies test can show which foods you are reacting to hours or even days after you have consumed the food. Since there may be a delay in reaction time, you may not realize the symptom is caused by a hidden food allergy. When the problem food is consumed it increases the blood levels of IgG antibodies in reaction to the specific food. Skin tests do NOT test for delayed food reactions!

Food sensitivities can begin at any age. Food allergies can trigger many different symptoms and contribute to a variety of disorders in children and adults, including: learning disabilities, inflammatory bowel disease, fatigue, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, migraines, skin problems, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, sinusitis, chronic mucus and congestion and even recurrent ear infections.

It is easy to find out which foods are ok to eat and which foods need to be avoided.

To have "delayed" food allergy testing done, please call us at 678-372-2913 to make an appointment in our Alpharetta, GA location. Alane will meet with you and review your medical history, nutritional intake and symptoms.

The lab fee for the “delayed” food allergy test is $227. Payment is expected on the day of the appointment. We will give you a form to send into insurance for reimbursement.  There is no guarantee of coverage but many patients have been successful.

Food Allergy Testimonies

Focus & Mood Improves
"Our 12 year old daughter's food allergy testing showed an allergy to dairy. Her symptoms were similar to ADD. She could read ok, but could not comprehend or remember what she read. Less than 30 days after eliminating this one food her focus and mood improved drastically!”
Thank you Alane!" – Kim

Breathing easier thanks to food allergy testing!
"Dr. Alane has been working with my son since age 7. He suffers from terrible mucus buildup and has trouble breathing. She did a food allergy profile on him and it came back positive for almonds, eggs, pinto beans and soy. I changed his diet and the mucus cleared up. He is breathing so much better he will play soccer this year." And after 1 year of supporting his health with Dr. Alane's guidance we had him retested and he only has ONE food allergy now, instead of 4.”
Mike

Hyperactivity improves easily!
"Alane did a food allergy profile on my child age 12 with hyperactivity. It showed that oats is a trigger for him. We removed the oats and he calmed down. Didn't realize children can be so affected by food allergies……it was so simple to help him!”
--A Satisfied Mom in Alpharetta, GA

Severe Psoriasis Gone!
”I took my daughter to see Alane as a last resort after several visits to her pediatrician and different dermatologists. My daughter had a skin condition that continued to worsen and the doctors continued to prescribe steroid creams. The tests Alane took determined that she was allergic to many foods that she was eating regularly. She was also lacking certain nutrients.

Alane recommended we change her diet and suggested a few supplements. I have seen a remarkable change in my daughter's skin! The dry, scaly and weeping sores are gone and so is the unbearable itching! THANK YOU Alane!”

Mom and Son: lives dramatically changed after discovering food allergies!

Alex: (age 7)
Having our food allergies identified has made such a dramatic difference for my son Alex. Alex is taking a shower for the first time in his seven years voluntarily without discomfort at having water on his head. He has been focused on tasks that were not possible before, like legos and building block villages. Before he would build a little and then toss blocks all over the floor. Now, he is building whole cities. When he is done, with only a little encouragement, he picks the blocks up and puts them away. This would not have happened before. Trying to get him to pick up the blocks would have lead to great frustration for both of us. He is volunteering to play music that he learned in piano class and is trying again instead of giving up if he makes a mistake. Alex is a lot calmer and more cooperative and he is much happier since we got rid of his allergens. He also has had no more stomach troubles.

Mom: Jana
I am feeling much better also. I am finishing things for the first time in my life. I am organizing things more easily now when it would have been impossible before. I coordinated all the crafts for 150 kids in Bible School this summer. This entailed planning, purchasing, preparing, and teaching for all age groups. This was in addition to making special snacks in the morning for my own kids and making sure we had a suitable lunch ready when we came home. I was able to enjoy Bible School and the kids instead of feeling like a chicken with my head cut off, which is how I felt last year. It was great! I was prepared this year, instead of being up all night preparing the crafts because of brain fog. If you would have told me that I was allergic to garlic and eggs before, I would not have believed it, since I ate them nearly every day. But now I know that they were causing me a lot of symptoms that I did not realize. I feel like I have been released from a prison sentence or something. I am looking forward to continued healing for all of us. Thank you so much! You have truly made a huge difference in our lives. No MD could ever give me a reason for symptoms that you demystified in one test!!! A million thanks from a grateful Mom! This testimony is written with heartfelt gratitude!

Sincerely, Jana Hunt
