Do all ages have problems with food intolerance? |
| |
Yes. There are cases of children and senior citizens benefiting from modifying their diet according to hypersensitivity results. |
|
Will people in the same family have similiar results? |
| |
Not necessarily. Its best for everyone to do their own test and indeed over time new intolerances may develop so retesting can also be valuable. |
|
Does the food intolerance test ‘show up’ problem foods if I have been on a restricted diet? |
| |
If a problem food has already been excluded , the antibodies may have already cleared the blood.To avoid them returning try to avoid regularly eating that food in the future. |
|
Will the results differ throughout the day? |
| |
No, it does not matter when the sample is taken. |
|
Is it possible to be affected by foods that are not detected by the IgG food test? |
| |
Some foods may cause a classical allergic reaction involving the production of a type of antibody called IgE. These will not be detected. |
|
Will I never be able to eat my problem foods again? |
| |
Not necessarily. Many people are able to reintroduce these foods to their diet again in the future, so long as it is done carefully. Your health advisor will be able to guide you on this subject. |
|
Will I have to go without meals at any time? |
| |
No. Any foods you are advised to avoid should always be replaced with those that are allowed. Use a wide variety of allowed foods when planning your meals to help ensure that other tolerances don’t develop. |
|
If I react badly to milk, where will I get calcium from? |
| |
Don’t worry – green vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, lettuce and broccoli are all packed with calcium. It can also be found in fish where the bones are eaten, as well as nuts, seeds, legumes such as peas and beans, and whole grains. |
|
Can I drink wine and beer? |
| |
The test will assess you against the main ingredients of alcoholic drinks, such as grapes, yeast and grains. It’s best to choose an alcoholic drink that doesn’t contain any ingredient you have shown a reaction to. |
|
How long should I wait before taking another test? |
| |
That’s down to your own judgement. It depends how well your new diet is progressing and how quickly your intolerances change. Experience shows that changing your diet can lead to other intolerances developing, so it is sensible to think about another test after nine to 12 months. |
