Food Intolerance Test

Today more and more people are suffering from food intolerance. While we are all familiar with the health warnings associated with excessive consumption of foods such as salt, fat and sugar, it is a revelation to many people that they can be intolerant to foods that have been deemed healthy for us.

The difference between an allergic reaction to food and food intolerance is that an allergic reaction happens immediately while food intolerance is a delayed reaction - a slow acidulous build up in the system. Also only a small amount of foods cause an allergic reaction while a much broader amount of foods cause an intolerance. The top foods that most people would have an intolerance to are dairy, wheat, citrus fruit, potatoes and eggs, while the most common foods that cause an allergic reaction are shellfish, eggs and peanuts.

As a condition with a mixture of commonplace symptoms, a food intolerance can be difficult to recognise and diagnose, meaning that those affected often suffer for years without knowing the proper steps to take, unable to enjoy normal activities.

Our food intolerance test identifies particular foods or food groups that a patient is sensitive to. At Spring-Into-Health we use gentle muscle testing to recognize the foods you may be intolerant to. This non invasive, affordable food intolerance test does not involve blood samples and needles, it can be carried out within an hour and results are known immediately.

After identifying the item(s) causing sensitivity, the practitioner will establish a relationship between the occurring symptoms and the test results. This is done carefully to ensure that required dietary changes will bring expected health improvement. Appropriate personalized dietary advice will be provided according to the test results.

This test is suitable for adults, as well as children and infants.
