  • Difficult to identify
    Food intolerances can be difficult to track down for several reasons. It is often difficult to identify problem foods partly because there is a delay between eating the food and symptoms developing, which may vary from a few hours to two or three days.

    This problem is compounded by the fact that there is usually more than one food, sometimes several, triggering symptoms. Add to this the fact that many symptoms, such as fatigue, are very general and may have more than one cause and you can begin to see the problem.


  • How can problem foods be identified?
    Food elimination and reintroduction diets are one way to identify food intolerances. We have had a lot of experience of food intolerances at Intelligent Nutrition and we often find that we hit the nail on the head with surprising accuracy first time.

    Blood tests are also available which check for raised levels of food-specific antibodies (IgG) that indicate intolerance to those particular foods. The technology used to identify these antibodies is known as an ELISA test (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay). This type of biochemical test is widely used in hospitals, universities and research facilities around the world because it is so reliable.

    Identifying food intolerances can be a complex process. At Intelligent Nutrition we can help you through this. If you are intolerant to particular foods we will advise you how your current diet needs to change and which foods you can substitute so that you maintain an enjoyable, varied and balance diet.
