Food intolerance testing is used to determine whether a person is sensitive to ingredients in certain foods.
What is the difference between Food Intolerance Test and Food Allergy Test?
In allergy tests, a substance called immunoglobulin E (IgE) is investigated, but in the food intolerance test for the immune system, immunoglobulin G (IgG) is investigated. In food allergies, foods are removed from the diet and are not replaced again.
Symptoms of Food Intolerance
Food intolerance may be suspected in people with skin flushing, eczema, stomach reflux, diarrhea, constipation, chronic fatigue, migraine attacks and constant sleepiness. Additionally, people who constantly diet and cannot lose weight may also be evaluated for food intolerance.
Can People Who Want to Diet Use the Test?
If a person’s blood sugar is at normal levels and they cannot lose weight despite regular physical activity, they may be intolerant to one or more food groups. In such a case, if a person takes a food intolerance test, he/she will learn about the foods that prevent him from losing weight and slow down and speed up his metabolism. In this way, we eliminate foods that are not good for her/him from the diet.
How to Apply Food Intolerance Test?
1 tube of blood is taken from the client. This blood taken is sent to the laboratory and examined and the results become clear. The result reveals how sensitive the person is to which nutrients and at what level. The level of sensitivity to every food is not the same. While skin diseases occur as a result of consuming some foods, others may show milder symptoms. You can ask for help from the experts of Cinik Polyclinic to test your sensitivity on this issue.
