Often, the words “food allergy” and “food intolerance” are used interchangeably - but are they really the same thing? And if they’re not, how can you tell the difference?

Food allergies and food intolerances are very different, and the reason why boils down to the type of response they elicit in the body. Food allergies cause an immune response, whereas food intolerances/sensitivities cause a gastrointestinal (GI) response.

For many, seasonal allergies can feel especially limiting, preventing them from going outside and enjoying all of the fun and beauty that this time of year has to offer. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. SageMED can help you become allergy free in as little as 90 days!
