Food Sensitivity Testing

 Food Sensitivity Testing
These days more and more people are intolerant to certain foods. If you feel bloated or ill after certain types of food you would really benefit from seeing our practitioner.There is a lot of confusion about the terms food intolerance and food allergy. Food allergy is different from food intolerance in that it is a rapid response by the body’s immune system to a particular food. In this type of reaction, the body’s immune system mistakes a food for an ‘invader’ often result in a rapid allergic reaction within minutes. This type of allergic reaction is commonly associated with nut and seafood allergies.Food intolerance is a condition with a mixture of symptoms and can be difficult to recognise and diagnose. Those affected often suffer for years without knowing the proper steps to take, unable to enjoy normal life and activities and in some cases, unable to work. However, people react differently and food hypersensitivity takes on different forms such as:

  • Chemical sensitivities – reactions to food additives or chemicals in foods.
  • Enzyme deficiencies – lactose intolerance.
  • Reaction to histamine in foods.
  • Yeast overgrowth, which in severe cases, may cause Candida.

We carry out testing for food intolerances using the latest bioenergetic technology to measure the body’s reaction to foods. Once the offending items are identified, advice on the appropriate treatment and exclusion of the sensitivities is tailored to the individual to help restore health and balance to its maximum potential and avoid recurrence of the symptoms.
