Food Allergy & Sensitivity Testing in Cypress, TX: Causes, Symptoms & Testing Options

Food Allergy & Food Sensitivity Testing in Cypress, TX

Unexplained digestive issues? Skin problems? Persistent fatigue? These symptoms often point to food allergies or sensitivities—conditions that affect millions of adults and children every year. Identifying the cause can dramatically improve quality of life.

At Revive Chiropractic & Wellness, we offer comprehensive food allergy and sensitivity testing using advanced functional nutrition principles. Our goal is to uncover what’s causing inflammation in your body and create a customized plan to help you heal.

Food Allergies vs. Food Sensitivities: What’s the Difference?

Though the two are often confused, food allergies and food sensitivities behave very differently inside your body.

Food Allergies

• Trigger an immediate immune response

• Can cause swelling, respiratory distress, hives, or anaphylaxis

• Involve IgE antibodies

• Require strict avoidance and emergency awareness

Food Sensitivities

• Cause delayed symptoms (hours or days later)

• Often involve digestive issues, eczema, migraines, fatigue, or inflammation

• Involve IgG or other immune pathways

• Harder to identify without proper testing or elimination techniques

A person may have both allergies and sensitivities, creating complex reactions that worsen inflammation. Identifying each trigger is essential for long-term wellness.

Common Symptoms of Food Allergies & Sensitivities

Symptoms may include:

• Digestive discomfort

• Bloating or irregular bowel movements

• Rashes, eczema, or hives

• Fatigue or “brain fog”

• Respiratory irritation

• Headaches or migraines

• Chronic inflammation

• Behavioral or mood changes in children

If left unaddressed, ongoing inflammation may contribute to autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue.

Common Food Allergens & Sensitivity Triggers

Some of the most frequent sources include:

• Dairy

• Gluten / Wheat

• Peanuts & Tree Nuts

• Shellfish & Fish

• Eggs

• Soy

• Food additives

• Artificial dyes

• Processed sugars

• Corn

Environmental toxins, mold exposure, and poor gut health can worsen reactions.

Food Allergy & Sensitivity Causes

Genetics

If allergies run in the family, risk increases—especially with SERPINB gene cluster associations.

Environmental Exposure

Mold, mildew, pollutants, fumes, and contaminants can prime the immune system to overreact.

Immune System Dysfunction

An overactive immune response can mistakenly target harmless foods.

Gut Health Imbalances

Leaky gut, dysbiosis, or inflammation can worsen reactions.

Parasites

Surprisingly common—and often overlooked—parasites can trigger or intensify food intolerances.

Our clinic offers testing protocols to screen for these factors and create targeted treatment plans.

Types of Food Allergy & Sensitivity Tests

Skin Prick Test

Best for diagnosing immediate environmental or food allergies.

IgE Blood Test

Identifies immediate allergic reactions by detecting IgE antibodies.

Elimination Diet

The gold standard for food sensitivities when performed properly with journaling and guidance.

Oral Food Challenge

Used under medical supervision for definitive allergy confirmation.

IgG Blood Testing

Helps identify delayed immune responses and sensitivity patterns.

Which Test Is Most Accurate?

For Allergies:

• Skin Prick Test

• IgE Blood Testing

• Medically supervised Oral Food Challenge

For Sensitivities:

• Elimination Diet (most reliable)

• IgG testing (supportive insight)

Chiropractic Care & Immune Support

While chiropractic does not replace medical allergy care, proper spinal alignment supports healthy nervous system function—which directly impacts immune function.

A well-functioning nervous system:

• Reduces exaggerated histamine responses

• Improves immune system regulation

• Supports recovery from inflammation

• Helps the body respond more appropriately to allergens

Combining chiropractic care with targeted nutrition creates a powerful whole-body approach.
