Food Sensitivity Testing

A food allergy is an exaggerated immune response that is triggered by certain foods. It is rare that a person has a significant allergic reaction to a food. More commonly, it is found that people have a sensitivity to certain foods that make them feel unwell. Also being deficient in certain vitamins or minerals can lead to or make certain conditions worse. So we also test for Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies and E-Number sensitivities.

Conditions that may be a result of an allergy:

  • Skin Problems including Rashes, Itchy Skin, Eczema etc..
  • Sneezing
  • Nasal congestion
  • Wheezing
  • IBS
  • Diarrhoea
  • Constipation
  • Flatulence/Wind
  • Bloating
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Weight loss or Gain
  • Insomnia
  • Aching Joints/Muscles
  • and many more symptoms

Appointment information:

Your test at Goldings Hill Clinic will take between 45 minutes to 1 hour and we suggest you come 10 minutes earlier to answer a questionnaire which includes a brief history of your symptoms and lifestyle and the foods in your current diet.You will then be tested for a wide range of food sensitivity reactions and you will be given information on the availability of safe alternative foods and specific diets.You will be encouraged to eliminate the foods that have been identified and we will help you formulate a new diet to improve your overall health.

Occasionally, when you eliminate a food that you have proven to be sensitive to, you may experience an elimination phase including some mild withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms will usually last only a few days before you feel an improvement in your wellbeing.
