Day 5: Remember the consequences of eating foods that you know you react to. It’s all too easy, especially after a few drinks, to throw caution to the wind and scoff down whatever is put in front of you. You may have felt a lot better recently on your “Free-From” diet and are prepared to take the risk. STOP and remember how you feel when your food intolerance symptoms are at their worst. A recent survey of 441 people with food intolerance showed that 31% of respondents have taken between one day and one week’s absence from work due to their food intolerance symptoms, while 14% admit to having accumulated at least three months of sick days since the onset of their condition. On average, respondents visited their GPs six times due to their condition with three patients notching up over 250 visits to their GP between them. Don’t go backwards, it’s time to be well, not to be off sick or at the doctors; save your precious time in the long run and stick to a diet that you know suits you.
Remember that it’s Food Intolerance week, 45% of the population suffer from food intolerance, and many thousands have benefitted from pinpointing the foods that are causing their symptoms and, with Nutritionist support, eliminating them from their diet. Save time guessing; within days you could find out the exact foods that you are reacting to. Want to know if the food you are eating is making you ill? Visit www.yorktest.com
