Food Sensitivities & The Small Intestine: New Insights into The Microbiome-Immune Connection
Immune-mediated food reactions, which involve excessive immune responses to harmless food antigens, are major contributors to common gastrointestinal complaints. Emerging research is yielding exciting new insights into the key role that microbiome-immune interactions play in influencing the development of food allergies and sensitivities – especially in the small intestine.
In this webinar, Dr. Tom Fabian will highlight examples of this important new research, as well as the implications for more effective therapeutic approaches. Dr. Fabian will illustrate how food sensitivity testing with IgG Food Explorer and advanced quantitative stool analysis with GI-MAP can provide clinicians with key insights that facilitate improved support for patients with food allergies and sensitivities.
