April 2023 THE TRUTH ABOUT AT-HOME FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTS: A CRITICAL DISCUSSION WITH MELISSA WATTS, MDFeaturing: Melissa Watts, MD
Episode SummaryMelissa Watts, MD, an allergist and immunologist at Northwestern Medicine, discusses at-home food sensitivity tests and their potential drawbacks and limitations. These tests are inaccurate and not based on scientific evidence, often checking for a memory antibody rather than an allergic antibody. Dr. Watts warns that using these tests can have harmful effects, including a delay in accurate diagnosis and patient adoption of restrictive diets that can lead to increased anxiety and malnutrition.
