Food sensitivity testing and nutritional therapy
Allergies / Sensitivities
According to the Royal College of Physicians one in ten people suffer from allergies, but the figure is probably closer to one in three. We can see what a problem it is when you walk into a supermarket & see shelves full of gluten free, wheat free, dairy free etc products, believe me they wouldn't stock it unless it sold. An allergy is intolerance to a particular food or substance.
Why have allergies become such a problem?
Well, diets have changed dramatically over the last few years, eating more highly processed foods, we have more additives & chemicals in our diets plus the use of allopathic drugs can all have an effect. They can disrupt the bacteria in the gut, lower our immune system & cause digestive problems. This can all lead to food allergies or sensitivities. It is very difficult to find what foods are affecting you; most of the symptoms do not occur immediately after eating the offending food/s.
We can also have a tolerance level which means we might be able to eat a particular food/s once without any adverse effect, then we eat it again the next day & it causes a problem. It can also be a combination of foods that affect us; thus causing great problems identifying the culprit/s. It is easy to live for years without knowing that a particular food does not suit you. Many people may never have felt truly healthy, so do not even know that how they feel is under par.
Symptoms linked to food allergies are vast, they can range from, bowel problems, depression, weight problems, attention deficit, anxiety, lethargy, chronic fatigue, migraines, I could go on. Since an allergy is like an addiction, it is often the foods that one is most 'addicted' to that are suspect.
If you feel you have allergies it is best to see a Nutritional Therapist & Allergy Tester, who can not only advise you on foods to leave out, but also very importantly of the right foods to bring into the diet. By doing this we can create a healthy gut flora & digestive system & build up on the immune system.
I can test for over 50 different foods & substances & also vitamin & mineral deficiencies. I give handouts on foods to leave out & foods to bring in, for you. I give ideas of meals & recipes.
You will have total support on your road to health.
