Ep #67: Is Food Allergy Testing Worth It?

Welcome back to The Wellfuel Podcast! In this episode, I'll be discussing the use of food allergy tests and whether they are worthwhile or a waste of money. You see, the value of these tests depends on how they are used. I'll also highlight the distinction between IgE and IgG testing and how IgG testing can be useful for identifying chronic food sensitivities, and how food sensitivity tests can be used to gauge the health of the gut lining.
