If you suffer from chronic tiredness, headaches, itchy skin, digestive complaints such as bloating or nausea or issues such as hayfever and asthma then it could be that something you are eating or something in your environment is to blame. We can quickly and painlessly test you for sensitivities to a wide range of environmental factors including pollens and chemicals and over 300 food types. If you have particular products you are concerned about, we can also test you against a sample of these.
We test for sensitivities which are often the cause of sneaky symptoms that you can’t otherwise explain.
It is worth noting the difference between an allergy and a sensitivity. An allergy is an immediate immune response to something and can be so severe that it is fatal. Well known allergens are peanuts and bee stings. A sensitivity, or intolerance, on the otherhand is a much slower reaction that often can’t be pinpointed to a particular item easily. Sensitivities can come and go throughout life, and fortunately are treatable, unlike allergies.
We offer a full allergy/sensitivity screening or just food intolerance testing:
Allergy/Sensitivity Screening
incldues testing for:
- Animal danders
- Chemicals such as detergents, dyes, insecticides, pesticides, solvents
- Air pollutants & Fossil Fuels like coal & oil
- Heavy metals such as Aluminium
- Sensitivity to pests like ants, dust mites etc
- Materials – rubber, acrylic, nylon etc
- Pollen – cacti, flowers, tree, shrub, grass, weed
- Microwaves, radon gas, radiation, electromagnetic, UV, X-Rays
- Phenolic sensitivities
- 300 different foods
Food Intolerance Screening
includes testing for:
- Over 300 different foods
- Antigens to all major food groups (i.e. dairy)
- Chemical compounds in foods (phenolics)
- Nutritional status inc. vitamin, mineral & enzyme deficiencies
Don’t worry, you probably won’t need to avoid all of the foods that show up on our test, especially not for life. The results will be talked through with you thoroughly and advice on diet changes or avoidance given. You can also choose to have homeopathic remedies to help prevent you reacting to foods.
We include a nutritional status test as frequently reactions to foods are due to nutritional deficiencies, especially enzyme deficiencies, rather than the foods themselves.
For those who are suffering from multiple allergies or conditions such as multiple chemical sensitvity syndrome we offer a 3-6month programme to help combat symptoms. Please enquire for details.
