ALLERGY/FOOD INTOLERANCE TESTING
Your favourite food may be affecting your health….. When we crave a food it may indicate that we have an intolerance to it. Allergy UK estimate that 45% of the UK population have an undiagnosed Food Intolerance and an estimated 50% of people with a Food Intolerance crave the foods their bodies cannot handle.
Do you suffer with: Fatigue: Irritable Bowel (IBS): Bloating: Fluid Retention: Migraine: Aching Joints: Hives: Arthritis: Eczema: Digestive Problems:
A simple, non invasive test could make all the difference to your health.
CRAVINGS
Allergy UK estimate that 45% of the UK population have an undiagnosed Food
Intolerance and an estimated 50% of people with a Food Intolerance crave
the foods their bodies cannot handle. If they don’t get a regular fix
then they may suffer withdrawal symptoms often resulting in binge eating
and weight gain.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
A Food Intolerance is very different from a Food
Allergy in that they both trigger different immune responses. A Food
Allergy triggers instant response and can kill you (e.g. a
peanut allergy/shellfish allergy). A Food Intolerance may
affect the body over a few days and may manifest through making you feel
constantly unwell after eating causing you to experience symptoms like Fatigue:
Irritable Bowel (IBS): Bloating: Fluid Retention: Migraine: Aching Joints:
Hives: Arthritis: Eczema: Digestive Problems:
IMMUNE RESPONSE
Allergies and Food Intolerances activate
different antibodies. An Allergy generates the IGE immune
response which is where the body mistakes the food as a harmful virus or
bacteria and attacks it. This can be genetic, often appearing in childhood.
A Food Intolerance generates the IGG immune response which is due to the presence of certain trigger foods. Symptoms are less severe and may take an hour to several days to appear.
WEIGHT
A Food Intolerance may disrupt the metabolism
triggering weight gain or weight loss.. Where there is fluid retention, this
is an indication that the body is not dealing well with a specific food which
may result in excess weight. Research shows that our metabolism responds
best to a variety of nutrients.
