How can I find out if I have a food intolerance?
Up to 45% of the UK population could be suffering from food intolerance according to Allergy Research UK.
Research has shown that food intolerance is linked to antibodies produced by our immune system when we eat certain foods. Using a small blood sample, our tests can identify IgG and IgE antibodies to over 200 foods. The good news is that by identifying your trigger foods and replacing them with suitable alternatives it can result in huge improvements in your symptoms.
It is very important to seek expert advice from a Registered Nutritional Therapist when investigating food intolerances in order to obtain personalised guidance on how to eliminate foods safely, replace them with suitable, healthy alternatives, while putting steps in place to heal gut dysbiosis ("leaky gut"). A food elimination diet is only one part of a gut healing programme and further work on supporting gut integrity should be carried out in order for foods to be safely reintroduced in the future.
