Understanding Food Intolerances & Sensitivities

Food intolerances and sensitivities occur when your body reacts negatively to certain foods — not through allergies, but due to poor digestion or an imbalanced immune response. Common triggers include dairy, gluten, eggs, soy, caffeine, and even specific fruits or spices. Unlike allergies, these reactions develop gradually, often causing symptoms like bloating, fatigue, headaches, skin breakouts, and digestive discomfort. Because these responses are subtle and delayed, they frequently go unnoticed, contributing to long-term gut and energy issues. At Dr Ace, we uncover the underlying cause — whether it’s enzyme deficiency, gut permeability, or a disrupted microbiome. Through a Functional Medicine lens, we use advanced testing and personalized elimination plans to identify your unique food sensitivities. Our approach focuses on rebuilding gut strength, reducing inflammation, and safely reintroducing foods to restore tolerance. By healing your gut, improvements naturally extend to your skin, hormones, mood, and overall vitality. Our goal isn’t just to help you avoid reactive foods — it’s to help your body tolerate them again so you can enjoy a calm gut, clear mind, and steady energy throughout the day.
