How to Identify Your Food Triggers Before the Holiday Season (So Christmas Dinner Doesn't Derail Your Recovery)

Dreading Christmas dinner because you don't know which foods will trigger your symptoms? You're not alone. Food sensitivities cause delayed immune responses (48-72 hours), making it nearly impossible to identify trigger foods on your own. By the time you're dealing with bloating, joint pain, or brain fog, you've eaten ten other foods since the actual culprit.

But here's what most people don't realize: you don't have to guess. Food sensitivity testing (IgG and IgA antibodies) reveals exactly which foods are driving your inflammation—so you can navigate the holidays confidently instead of spending January recovering.

 In this post, we'll cover how food sensitivities work, why testing both IgG and IgA matters, and practical strategies to protect your autoimmune recovery during the holiday season.
