Do you have reactions to certain foods?
Food Intolerance Testing
Food intolerance is your body’s abnormal reaction to certain foods which can manifest itself in a number of ways.
Some people will have one symptom such as a severe headache whilst others will be unfortunate to experience irritable bowel syndrome, migraine and skin or respiratory conditions. Realising that the food you eat is a catalyst for particular symptoms is not easy when, unlike the immediate reactive symptoms of food allergy, food intolerance symptoms often appear hours or even days later.
In fact, following the elimination of problem foods, many sufferers have realised that they had been experiencing minor symptoms as a result of intolerance for their entire lives.
Blood is taken by a small pin prick in the finger and collected. It takes around 40 minutes for the test to develop. Clients can combine this treatment with other treatments at Therapy Corner or results can be forwarded later on the same day.
