There is a growing interest in food intolerance testing in the UK. This can be partially explained by the concern amongst the country’s leading nutritionists that the increasing amount of chemicals in our food is causing new conditions like IBS and chronic fatigue. Many of these problems cannot be resolved with traditional medicine. Therefore a number of people are looking for other answers, and food intolerance testing is a popular one.

In recent years the sheer number of chemicals in food has risen dramatically. Indeed, in the UK there are 10,000 additives in our food chain that were not present fifty years ago. The emergence of the organic food market is indicative of the increasing concern that many people have about this trend.

However, for some, eating carefully is essential to their sense of wellbeing and not just because it seems wise to do so. This is because certain people are intolerant to specific foods and when they ingest these foods they feel unwell.

This can range from slight bloating to more serious problems like migraines and irritable bowel syndrome. The trouble is that not everyone knows which foods make them feel unwell. Food intolerance testing is a quick, cost effective and easy way to find out which foods a person is sensitive to.

I believe that a skin prick test is the best type of food intolerance testing available; and the one that I recommend to my clients is the York Test Food Intolerance Indicator Test. This test assesses a person’s reaction to certain foods to identify whether or not he or she has a food intolerance.

As different foods produce different reactions in people, it is not enough to simply follow the latest diet trends in the hope that they will make you feel better. Instead, if you suspect that food sensitivities might be at the root of your problems, I would strongly advise that you arrange food intolerance testing. By identifying your food intolerances you will be able to enjoy an enhanced feeling of well being and enjoy what you eat knowing it won’t make you feel ill!
