Food Sensitivity Testing
The British Allergy Foundation estimates that up to 45% of the UK population suffers from illness related to food sensitivities (at some time of their lives) and the picture is similar in other Western countries. Intolerance or sensitivity can affect many of us in our normal everyday lives and this sensitivity can be a cause of many long-standing medical conditions.
This may be caused by a variety of factors such as:
Increased consumption of sugar and refined foods
Chemical additives in our foods
Increased environmental pollution
Increased workloads and subsequent increase in stress levels
Lowering of immune function
Over consumption of dairy products
 Any of these factors may be adversely affecting your health, and many have been implicated in a wide range of disorders. Conditions that are often precipitated by food sensitivity may include Arthritis, fatigue, sinusitis, headaches and migraines, skin conditions, hyperactivity, Irritable Bowel syndrome, unexplained weight gain, fluid retention and many others. You may have visited your GP about these or other conditions and have been unable to find a solution to your particular problem. By taking a Food sensitivity test, you may be able to pinpoint the potential food source or irritant that is causing your symptoms. Then with nutritional advice and some changes to your dietary habits, you may find your health improving significantly.
