Food Intolerance Testing

What are food intolerances?

Not to be mistaken for allergies, which can be life-threatening, intolerances are typically not serious. They are a difficulty your body has with digesting certain types of foods, drinks, or ingredients. 

​

Intolerances are very common, affecting up to 20% of the world's population. Despite this, it can be difficult to diagnose symptoms because they can be so wide ranging and caused by different mechanisms that are unique to the individual.

​

People who suffer with digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be more susceptible to food intolerances. 

​

Many choose to change their diets to reduce symptoms, however self diagnosis and eliminating food without clinical guidance can lead to nutrient deficiencies which has further detrimental impact to your health.

How can you tell if you have an intolerance?

Whilst every experience is different, typical symptoms include diahorreoa, bloating, passing wind, tummy pain or discomfort. But, it has also been known to cause headaches, tiredness or exhaustion, nausea, constipation, joint pain, rashes, itchy skin and eczema, tremors, sweating, and palpitations. â€‹Generally, symptoms last anywhere from a few hours to days.

 

If you suspect you may have an intolerance it is highly recommended to get this confirmed through specialist testing, as these symptoms could be a result of other health issues.
