Food allergies are more than inconvenient—they’re signals that something deeper is wrong with your immune or digestive system. At Patients Medical in New York City, we don’t just suppress reactions; we uncover why your body reacts, heal the underlying imbalances, and rebuild tolerance using an integrative, functional medicine approach.
We treat the whole person—not just the allergic reaction.
Food allergies occur when your immune system misidentifies certain proteins (like those in nuts, dairy, wheat, shellfish) as threats. This reaction activates IgE antibodies, leading to symptoms such as hives, digestive upset, respiratory issues, or even anaphylaxis. Food sensitivities—mediated by IgG or histamine—can cause chronic inflammation, upper GI symptoms, brain fog, eczema, or migraines.
Be alert to these signs:
Repeated exposure to triggers can worsen symptoms over time.
Functional medicine seeks to understand why your immune system overreacts. Common factors include:
We use in-depth labs to identify trigger foods and immune imbalances:
We design a personalized, non-pharmaceutical ADHD program tailored to your body, brain, and biochemistry.
David, 28, suffered from bloating, eczema, fatigue, and migraines linked to dairy, wheat, and eggs. Standard allergy treatments provided limited relief.
Our holistic plan included:
Within 12 weeks, David eliminated eczema, regained energy, thought clearly again, and could reintroduce some foods without reactive symptoms.
No. Symptoms from IgG/histamine sensitivities are often delayed or chronic, while IgE allergies are immediate and can be severe
Many food sensitivities improve significantly with gut healing and immune modulation. Severe IgE-mediated allergies are managed through avoidance and, in select cases, oral immunotherapy.
Few patients must avoid foods permanently. Most can gradually reintroduce foods once gut and immune balance are restored.
Most see gut function and symptom improvement within 8–12 weeks; full immune rebalancing can take up to 6 months.
We offer age-appropriate elimination and reintroduction protocols under safe guidance to ensure nutritional adequacy and minimize food anxiety.
We combine IgE and IgG panels, histamine levels, microbiome analysis, nutrient panels, inflammatory markers, and toxin screening for a comprehensive assessment.
Probiotics help support oral tolerance and strengthen gut barrier function, reducing overall allergic reactivity.
Yes, when supported by testing, we offer low-dose personalized oral immunotherapy combined with gut and immune support.
We are out-of-network but offer superbills for reimbursement. Some lab tests and consultations may be partially covered.
Begin with a detailed visit to review history, symptoms, and testing. From there, we build a personalized, stepwise healing plan.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
