Food Intolerance Test

Lots of people suffer from food intolerances, but do not realise that they do. For those people a simple food intolerance test can make a big difference to their lives and the way that they feel.

For someone who is allergic to certain foods it is easy to tell which ones they are allergic to. The adverse reaction they have to that food is rapid and very obvious. In some cases their allergic reaction is so severe that they can die as a result of eating that food.

If you are only intolerant to a food finding out that you are is far more difficult. The adverse reaction you have from eating that food can be quite subtle, so subtle in fact that you do not really notice it happens after eating certain foods.

Who Can Benefit From a Food Intolerance Test?

When someone suffers from food intolerances they suffer a range of symptoms. Common symptoms include bloating, stomach and intestinal cramps, diarrhoea, tiredness, headaches, aching joints, swollen lips or tongue, itchy skin and respiratory problems. Anyone who gets any of these symptoms on a semi-regular basis could benefit from taking a food intolerance test.

Taking the test can eliminate food intolerances as a cause of these symptoms and allow you to move on and consider other underlying reasons. If a food intolerance test does show that your body is intolerant of certain foods eliminating them from your diet will improve your health considerably.

Where to Get a Food Intolerance Test

In theory, you can go to your GP and ask for a food intolerance test. They may agree you need one and put you on the waiting list. However, the waiting list is long and unless you have extremely severe symptoms you will wait months, even a year, to get the tests done.
