Food Sensitivity Testing


Description

Adverse reactions to foods are causing increasingly more health problems. Approximately 5% of the population is affected by a food allergy, which produces an immediate onset of the symptoms often associated with a ‘allergic response’. However, it is estimated that more than 40% of the population have a delayed type of reaction, which occurs several hours or days after a food is consumed The delay in the appearance of symptoms, makes it difficult to determine which foods could be considered as the trigger of the health problem.

Common symptoms include:
  • Chronic gastro-intestinal problems: irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, bloating
  • Skin problems: itching and psoriasis
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Hypertension
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Weight control problems
  • Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia
  • Attention deficit and/or Hyperactivity Disorder
  • Arthritis
Whilst simple elimination diets can be used to identify problem foods, this ‘trial and error’ approach is often imprecise and time consuming. It can take a long time to identify the offending foods and achieve long-term health improvements, even with help from a health professional.

At Happy Nutrition, we employ IgG Food Sensitivity Testing. Detection of food-specific IgG antibodies is recognized as a reliable method to identify foods that may be causing symptoms and to guide the design of elimination diets based on the IgG antibody results.
Originally invented for studying DNA and gene expression, this microarray technology has now been extended to Food Sensitivity testing. The Health Food Sensitivity test is a sensitive and accurate technique that can better detect the presence of IgG food-specific antibodies to over 200 commonly eaten foods.
