Click to download printable information leaflet

Food intolerance causes unpleasant symptoms and it is often difficult for the individual to identify which food or foods are causing problems. Symptoms range from headaches, digestive problems, bloating, tiredness, insomnia and general aching to more serious problems including skin complaints and chronic conditions such as ME and fibromyalgia.

Weight problems often result from their association with allergies and food intolerance.

Food allergy testing at the Body-Balance Clinic, Somerset Spa only 4 miles from Taunton. Results in one hour with a full consultation.

Blood Testing

Pinprick blood tests are sometimes recommended at the consultation. This simple test uses a pin-prick sample of blood to test for:

1. Food intolerances. Specific antibodies are identified (the IgG antibody), reacting to certain foods. This is a scientific test, with results within one hour. A valuable indicator of problem foods, that often contribute to a wide range of health problem.

2. Other tests may be recommended at the consultation to establish a suitable nutritional plan include Candida albicans, Vitamin D, Anaemia, Coeliac Screen, Thyroid and Parasite Screen. Results are provided within 2 weeks.

Following the results of the test, full dietary and health guidance is given, with expert advice to improve health and wellbeing.
