As it has been stated above, this elimination diet of Dr. Sears is mainly focused on sensitivity or food allergy as a reaction of the immune system in our body toward suspected substances contained in the foods. When the immune system recognizes harmful substances, it will immediately release antibodies to eliminate them. Meanwhile, the situation in which your body is not able to tolerate certain foods is usually called a food sensitivity. So, what is the difference between food allergy and food sensitivity? A food allergy is associated with the body’s immune system, meanwhile, food sensitivity is not. However, reactions caused are similar, such as eczema, upset stomach, migraine, hives and also rashes.
