Food Sensitivities and Insomnia

What do food sensitivities have to do with sleep? Dr. Doni Wilson explains it this way:

"... you may react to certain foods and yet never feel it in your stomach. Instead, the inflammation created travels to other areas of your body—one of the most likely is your nervous system because the inflammation can cause the blood brain barrier to become leaky (similar to leaky gut), allowing the cytokines in, and disrupting the nervous system’s careful balance. When the nervous system is affected you might experience anxiety, depression, irritability, brain fog, and/or sleep issues."

Unlike food allergies, food sensitivity symptoms may not appear until days later, making it near impossible to identify your food sensitivities by yourself.
