Food Intolerance testing
Is your child's
diet affecting his/her health?
A high percentage
of people in the UK suffer from food intolerance, which produces a very
wide range of symptoms and often causes problems over many years.
Food intolerance is a major contributor to many commonly suffered illnesses. Over 45% of the population suffer from food intolerance and most don't even know about it.
Does your
child suffer from any of the following:
Asthma,
Hyperactivity, ADHA, Behavioural difficulties, Eczema, Lethargy.
Could food
intolerance explain his/her symptoms?
If
you are sensitive to foods your immune system can produce IgG (immunoglobulin
G) antibodies against that food. Using just a small pin-prick of blood,
a test can be done that accurately pinpoints delayed adverse IgG mediated
reactions to foods. When these foods are avoided, it leads to a more stable
immune response, and relief to the sufferer.
The pin prick of blood is taken at out clinic, and the sample is sent off to YORKTEST Laboratories. Up to 113 foods can be tested.
If your child is found
to have a severe intolerance to any foods, the results of the test can
be discussed with our nutritionist to help you plan how to eliminate those
foods to which your child has a severe intolerance. If a food intolerance
is contributing towards your child's symptoms, you will see a very quick
resolution once the foods responsible are removed from their diet.
