What is a food intolerance?
Food intolerance is a reaction that normally occurs when a person is unable to properly digest food. This can cause damage to your intestines and cause a leaky gut.
The most common types of food intolerance are:
Wheat, Soy, Dairy and Yeast.
Please note food allergies are not the same as food intolerances and can be life threatening causing difficulty breathing, vomiting, and swelling of the lips. If you experience this kind of reaction you should seek medical advice.
How we can help discover if you have a food intolerance?
The most reliable way to test for food intolerances is through an elimination diet. We will help you record the food that you eat and see if you are having any reaction to particular foods. Symptoms may include headaches, bloating, fatigue. Our job will be to help you narrow the list to see what foods may be triggering the symptoms. Once we have identified the offending foods we will tailor a diet-plan for you.
