Advanced Food Intolerance Testing

Service Description

What is Food Sensitivity? Food sensitivity results when your body reacts negatively to particular foods. Research has shown that food sensitivity can be linked to IgG antibodies produced when these problematic foods are eaten. Normally these antibodies do not have any ill-effects, but if the immune or digestive system are not functioning optimally, their presence may provoke a wide array of symptoms. Symptoms of Food Intolerances: • Bloating • Constipation • Diarrhoea • Flatulence • Headaches • Irritable bowel syndrome • Lethargy • Nausea • Abdominal pain Why Test for IgG Food Antibodies and Food Sensitivity? Testing IgG responses to specific foods may help to identify problematic foods, which can then be removed or rotated in the diet for a specific period of time. This should result in a reduction of symptoms and inflammation. Gut health is then improved before re-introducing these foods. The test works by measuring blood levels of IgG antibodies. What Do We Offer? Our advanced food panel tests around 200 foods and inflammatory marker hs-CRP. Testing takes 15 minutes, is performed in person and requires a finger prick blood test. Results are delivered within 1-2 weeks and are more accurate than our basic food intolerance test results. Clients are sent basic nutritional plans and information packs following the session.
