Food Sensitivity Appointment with Dr. Prince

Personalized Guidance and Recommendations for Alleviating Symptoms and Supporting Healthy Development. The food sensitivity testing and appointments with Dr. Prince provide families with a comprehensive understanding of their baby's specific food sensitivities and how they relate to reflux symptoms. This knowledge enables targeted dietary modifications and personalized recommendations, facilitating effective management of the baby's reflux and promoting digestive health. Food allergies involve an immune system response triggered by specific proteins, while food sensitivities or intolerances are non-immune reactions resulting from difficulties in digesting certain substances or imbalances in the gut microbiome. Symptoms of food sensitivities in babies with reflux can include excessive spitting up, frequent vomiting, irritability during or after feedings, poor weight gain, and gastrointestinal issues.

Dr. Prince offers specialized food sensitivity testing designed specifically for babies, which identifies specific food antigens that may be triggering adverse reactions in infants with reflux. The testing utilizes a chemiluminescent method of detecting food sensitivities and analyzes both IgG and IgA antibodies. By combining IgG and IgA testing, healthcare professionals gain a comprehensive understanding of the baby's immune response and develop tailored dietary plans that address the underlying triggers. After undergoing testing, families schedule an appointment with Dr. Prince to discuss the results, gain a deeper understanding of their baby's specific food sensitivities, and receive personalized guidance and recommendations. Dr. Prince's expertise in pediatric care, reflux, and gut health ensures comprehensive and individualized support, including creating practical strategies for implementing dietary modifications and integrating effective reflux management techniques. The goal is to alleviate reflux symptoms, support healthy development, and enhance overall well-being.
