The rise in food allergies and sensitivities has been linked to changes in the microbiome. A diverse and balanced microbiome helps the immune system differentiate between harmless substances and potential threats. When this balance is disrupted, the immune system can overreact to benign substances, leading to allergies and sensitivities. This is particularly evident in the increase of conditions such as lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity. Addressing microbiome health can play a significant role in managing and potentially reducing the severity of these reactions.
