FAQ

How do I know if I have allergies or just a cold?

There are several symptoms to consider to ensure that you have allergies and not a cold:

  • You are sneezing in rapid, repeated sequences
  • Your nose, ears and throat (especially the roof of your mouth) are itchy
  • You do not have a fever or achy muscles
  • Your mucosal secretions are clear and runny
  • Your symptoms are lasting longer than 10 days

If you’re still not convinced, naturopathic physicians – commonly referred to as naturopaths – can perform skin or blood tests to confirm whether you are allergic to something.

How do you know if you have adrenal fatigue?

Testing for Adrenal Fatigue is done via urine or saliva. In either case, samples are collected at home, four different times over the course of one day. Often, other adrenal hormones such as progesterone and DHEA may be included. Both urine and salivary tests are equally sensitive when testing cortisol levels.

How does SIBO testing work?

SIBO testing works by measuring either the amount of gas produced by the bacteria in your digestive system (with breath testing), or by looking for biomarkers in your blood that indicate the presence of SIBO (with blood testing).

Ig E Food Allergy

Ig E Food Allergy is an Immediate Food Reaction that most people are familiar with.  As the name implies, this food reaction can occur within minutes or up to 3 hours after ingestion. Peanuts that cause anaphylaxis in a child is an Ig E food allergy. The reaction is caused by the presence of a high Ig E antibody levels in the blood, which sets off an immediate allergic response. Ig E antibodies make up only a small percentage of our immune system (about 5-10% of our white blood cells), but exert the most severe  and life threatening reactions. Symptoms can include rashes or full body hives after eating an apple, immediate vomiting or diarrhea from milk, or an intense headache after drinking wine. These reactions can be tested for by either an allergist or a naturopathic doctor.
