Food Sensitivity Testing in San Antonio with Dr. Aimee Oliver

What Is Food Sensitivity Testing?

Food sensitivity testing is a diagnostic tool that measures how your immune system reacts to certain foods. Unlike food allergies—which can cause immediate, severe reactions—food sensitivities often create delayed, subtle symptoms that are harder to identify.

Functional medicine food sensitivity testing evaluates your body’s immune response to dozens (sometimes hundreds) of foods. By identifying which foods cause inflammation, Dr. Oliver can help you remove problem items from your diet and guide you toward foods that support healing.

Why Consider Food Sensitivity Testing?

Many patients turn to food sensitivity testing after years of dealing with unexplained or chronic symptoms. Standard labs often fail to connect these issues to diet, leaving patients frustrated. Testing may be helpful if you experience:

• Chronic bloating, gas, or abdominal pain

• Diarrhea, constipation, or irritable bowel symptoms

• Migraines or recurring headaches

• Skin conditions such as eczema, acne, or rashes

• Fatigue, brain fog, or difficulty concentrating

• Unexplained joint or muscle pain

• Mood changes, anxiety, or depression

• Difficulty losing weight despite healthy habits

Pinpointing sensitivities allows for targeted diet changes that reduce inflammation and support better overall health.

Conditions Linked to Food Sensitivities

Food sensitivities have been connected to a wide range of health conditions. At our San Antonio clinic, Dr. Oliver often uses testing to support patients with:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

• Autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s or rheumatoid arthritis

• Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia

• Migraines and tension headaches

• Skin disorders like psoriasis or eczema

• Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders

• Weight management struggles

By uncovering the role food plays in these conditions, Dr. Oliver helps patients find lasting relief and improved quality of life.

How Food Sensitivity Testing Works

The process is simple and non-invasive:

1. Consultation – Dr. Oliver reviews your symptoms, history, and goals to determine if testing is appropriate.

2. Sample Collection – A small blood sample is taken to measure your immune system’s reaction to common foods.

3. Laboratory Analysis – The sample is sent to a certified lab that tests immune reactivity to multiple food groups.

4. Results Review – Once the report is ready, Dr. Oliver explains your results in plain language.

5. Personalized Plan – Based on your results, she develops a customized elimination diet and reintroduction strategy to restore balance.

• Reduced bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort

• Clearer skin and fewer rashes or breakouts

• Fewer headaches and migraines

• Increased energy and reduced fatigue

Along with dietary changes, Dr. Oliver may also recommend supplements, gut-healing protocols, or lifestyle strategies to support recovery and prevent future issues.
