Food Intolerance Test

A food intolerance test is done to determine which foods an individual should avoid in order to prevent more serious health problems.

• Identify potential food sensitivities: This test helps pinpoint foods that might be causing chronic, delayed symptoms like digestive problems, fatigue, headaches, or skin issues.
• Uncover hidden triggers: Food sensitivities can cause symptoms hours or even days after eating the culprit food. This test aims to reveal these hidden triggers behind your chronic issues.
• Guide dietary modifications: By identifying potential sensitivities, the test can inform the creation of an elimination diet. This helps assess if removing certain foods improves your symptoms.

Food intolerance test is a blood test. Blood sample is collected and sent to the lab for analysis.

The benefits of taking a food intolerance test can include discovering what you are allergic to or sensitive to. This can allow you to create a diet that meets your specific needs and is tailored to your body's requirements.

Some of the most common food intolerances include lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, and fructose malabsorption. These are all caused by an inability of your body to break down certain types of sugars or proteins.

If you have a food intolerance, it's important to know what steps to take next. After taking the food intolerance test, you will now have a better understanding of your symptoms and what triggers them.

• First, it's important to track your diet. Make a list of all the foods that make you sick or cause discomfort. Then, try to avoid these foods as much as possible. If eating out is necessary for work or social events, be sure to ask about the restaurant's gluten-free policy in advance.
• Next, it's important to identify any environmental factors that might be triggering your symptoms. This could include things like high levels of pollen or dust particles in the air, certain types of animals (especially cats and dogs), and chemical sensitivities at home or at work.
• Finally, stay positive - with patience and consistency over time most people can overcome their food intolerance!
