Many people suffer with unexplained health problems that other healthcare professionals have found no apparent cause for and their symptoms are left unexplained, yet still persist. Doctors can often dismiss the association between diet and symptoms, despite AllergyUk reporting in 2007 that 45% of the population were likely to suffer from an intolerance of some kind.
Common symptoms that can be associated with food allergy/intolerance include digestive complaints such as boating, diahorrea, nausea and wrongly diagnosed IBS as well as headaches, weight gain, low energy levels, skin rashes and respiratory symptoms. All of these can have a profound effect on daily living, yet if caused by a food intolerance or allergy, they could be easily resolved if the cause of the problem was found. This can be done by having an Allergy/Intolerance test.
If you answer yes to any of the following questions you will benefit from an allergy/intolernace test which will help identify what foods or other substances you should avoid or reduce.
• Do certain foods make you feel unwell?
• Do you suffer from any symptoms that you believe to be aggravated by eating certain foods e.g. eczema, IBS, asthma, catarrh?
• Do you constantly feel tired and lethargic?
• Are you suffering from unexplained health / medical conditions?
• Do you struggle to lose weight or maintain weight?
