Enjoy foods again with no anxiety about embarrasing bowels
Would you like to enjoy foods again with no anxiety about embarrasing bowels?
If you are anxious and confused about foods which might be making are ill, you can easily find out with a Food Intolerance test.
You are not alone, in fact 45% of the population suffer Food Intolerance ( Allergy UK).
Digestive problems such as constipation, diarrhoea, bloating & gastritis are common symptoms making life miserable & causing anxiety. In fact, many of my clients are fearful of eating out and social occasions.
Head aches, muscle aches & joint pain are other common symptoms.
Weight control and water retention may also be caused by food intolerance
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be like that.
A simple food intolerance test will identify trigger foods. feeling confident about which foods to eliminate from your diet can really make a difference to your health, and giving you confidence to eat out and feel so much better.
What causes food intolerance?
However, digging deeper to find out the underlying cause of food intolerance is key to long term health.
Modern diet & lifestyle stress can impact gut function in a number of ways, which can lead to inflammation, leaky gut, dysbiosis and immune reactions.
The underlying cause may also be a deficiency of digestiove enzymes & absorption
It is therefore recommended to add in other diagnostic tests.
Alpha 1 anti trypsin – a marker of inflammation and permeabilty – leaky gut
Calprotectin – a marker of inflamation may be problematic at borderline levels
Secretary IgA – a marker of gut immunity
Pancreatic Elastase – a marker of protein digestion
What is the difference between a food allergy and food intolerance?
Food allergy produces immediate IgE-antibody reaction and can be serious.
Symptoms of food intolerance are often delayed for many hours after eating . It can therefore be very confusing and difficult to identify the problem foods.
What is the test?
I work with www.cnslab.co.uk – a leading UK laboratory offering food intolerance and gut function tests.
A simple finger prick blood test or stool sample
A test kit will be sent to you with full instructions about taking your sample & how to return to CNS laboratory .

Targeted natural supplements will be recomended to heal gut & improve digestion.
How long do I have to remove food for?
It is recommended to remove foods for 3 months. During this time you may be advised supplements to heal your gut and improve digestion. You will be advised about re introduction of foods.
