Food Intolorance Testing, is it worth it?

May-12-2008 Posted under Kelly Talk, Nutrition

Food intolerance testing can be performed to establish current sensitivities, although it must be remembered that this can change! Food intolerances can manifest through overconsumption, (i.e. we eat too much of one thing and the body reaches it’s tolerance level). They can also be the result of toxicity and overloaded elimination channels! i.e. when the drains are filled to capacity, the pollutants remain in the blood and then it is a case of the straw that breaks the camel’s back! Therefore intolerances and allergies often indicate the need to moderate one’s diet and detoxify!

Testing for food intolerance is quick easy and results are available immediately.

An intolerant food aggravates the immune system’s mast cells in the gut’s mucous membrane, causing the gut to leak. Particles of partially digested food can then pass into the blood stream setting up a chain reaction.

This gives rise to symptoms such as migraine, excessive weight and arthritis.

The onset of food intolerance is often insidious and thought to be the result of normal absorption failing to take place.

The food’s which cause subtle but adverse reactions may slowly build up in number and severity.

Symptoms are usually multiple, not consistent and may be affected by the sufferer’s general state of health.

They may take hours or even days to appear and include anxiety, mouth ulcers, aching joints and muscles, fatigue, headaches/migraine, sinus and mucus problems, digestive disturbances (indigestion, discomfort, bloating, gas, etc.), hyperactivity and weight gain, etc.

The most common food intolerances are wheat and dairy products, citrus fruits, nightshade family of foods and stimulants (coffee, sugar, chocolate, etc.).

Has anyone had it done before and did they find it useful?

    Heres a link to a Canadian company that does it-they have an office on commerical drive.

    List of foods is pretty extensive but for the 265 items the cost is $850. You could also choose to only have 120 items tested which lowers the cost to $550 but I kind of liked how the 265 item one added the extra dairy items (different types of cheeses and yogurt and what not) as well as extra grain items (kamut, spelt, white flour), extra seeds (flax seeds, macadamia nuts, and pistachios) and the different sweeteners.

    I know of some people who have done food allergy testing at naturopathic practitioners. Not sure if it’s as expensive as what you have here.

  3. Paul Said,

    Kelly I had mine done 4 years ago by my natropath and it didn’t cost 800.

    food intolerance testing is very helpful for me as I had a lot of issues, IBS, esema,indigestion,and other issues.

    it really helps.
