Food Intolerance 

WHY TAKE THE TEST?

When food particles enter the bloodstream, your immune system can sometimes identify these food proteins as ‘foreign’ and produces IgG antibodies to ‘attack’ the particular food in question. This response is the immune system’s natural defence mechanism to ward off harmful invaders in the body which can create inflammation. This inflammation can then trigger troublesome symptoms, which may persist if they are neglected.

HOW DOES THE TEST WORK AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

A tiny finger prick blood sample is taken and sent away to the laboratory to check whether you have a sensitivity to over 200 food and drink ingredients.  The results allow you to optimise your diet and lifestyle knowing which foods you are reacting to.

 

WHAT DO THE RESULTS SHOW?

You will receive clear and easy to understand results with an accompanying guidebook and elimination diet diary.  All tests include Reactivity Values, ’scoring’ your sensitivity to each of the food & drink ingredients tested, between 0 and 100 for each item.
