As it is Food Allergy and Intolerance week from the 24th-28th January, we are helping to raise awareness of food intolerance by posting new blogs every day, looking at ways to save you valuable time each and every week.
Day 1: Elimination diet? You can try and guess which foods are causing your symptoms, however symptoms of food intolerance are typically delayed by up to 72 hours after eating the culprit food or foods. In addition, the average number of different foods that people with food intolerance symptoms react to is six and it is virtually impossible to determine the exact combinations of foods that you may be reacting to based on guesswork alone. Why waste time guessing, it’s a New Year and its time to take action. To get a definitive assessment you should ideally carry out a YorkTest FoodScan IgG test and use the Nutritionist consultations provided with the service. The Nutritionist will work with you to replace foods that you need to avoid and suggest any vitamins or supplements you should take in so that you eat a well-balanced and healthy diet. Just think how much time that will save you in guess work and lost time?
