Some food can make us sick even though they are generally healthy. They can trigger food sensitivity symptoms such as digestive and skin problems, headaches or joint pain. Sometimes it can be very difficult to find out which foods cause these reactions. Reactions are often visible only hours after eating the food. A food tolerance test helps identify certain foods that may cause side effects in your body.


What is food intolerance?
Food intolerance is a condition in which the immune system reacts negatively to normally harmless foods and attacks them as if they were harmful bacteria, viruses or other infectious agents. This immune response can range from mild to severe abdominal pain. It can even lead to a life-threatening condition called anaphylactic shock.
Food intolerance is more common in children, affecting more than 5% of children worldwide. Many children outgrow their allergies as they get older. Some of the most common foods that cause food intolerances in most people are milk, soy sauce, Balls, wheat, crusts, Peanuts Nuts such as walnuts, almonds, cashews and pecans. Even a small intolerance can cause life-threatening symptoms in some people. At The Body Mind Centre, we provide you with the best Food Intolerance Testing Weybridge solution in the UK.
