What Are Food Triggers?
Food triggers are foods or environmental factors that can spark an unfavourable reaction or uncomfortable symptomin the body. Unlike common food allergies, these triggers are often difficult to detect with traditional blood tests or scratch tests, leaving many people frustrated and without answers.
At Sensitive Foods, we’ve been helping clients identify and manage food and environmental sensitivities since 1990. From infants as young as six months to adults of all ages, our practitioners have successfully guided tens of thousands of patients back onto the road to better health.
Our Approach: Personalised and Proven
Our clinics have grown steadily across the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and Brisbane thanks to one guiding principle: we adapt the program to the client – not the client to the program.
Many generic food plans fail because they take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. At Sensitive Foods, we believe every individual is unique, and so must be their dietary management plan. Through a thorough history assessment, our practitioners design customised recovery programs that target your specific triggers and lifestyle.
You’ll also receive a fully computerised report, which often correlates closely to the results of an elimination diet – the “gold standard” method used worldwide by doctors and dieticians. The difference? You won’t need to spend six months trialling food elimination to start finding answers.
