Food intolerances are unpleasant reactions to foods. In some people these reactions can cause distressing symptoms and long term ill health. Some people are unable to digest certain foods or may be sensitive to a particular ingredient, whilst others make antibodies to the food concerned. These antibodies are called igE and igG antibodies. igE antibodies cause allergic reactions which occur rapidly after the food is eaten. igG antibodies can cause unpleasant symptoms which may be delayed for many hours or even days, making it hard to identify problem foods. Our test can detect the igG antibodies involved in food intolerance so that you can remove them from your diet. We do not identify igE related food allergies or provide information about any specific medical condition. Research carried out at the University Hospital of South Manchester has shown that food allergies based on the detection of raised levels of igG antibodies is effective in reducing the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. (Atkinson et al, Gut, 2004, 53, 1459-1464) The test detects igG antibodies to 59 commonly eaten foods using a highly sensitive immunoassay technique usually carried out in a laboratory. All that is required is a pin prick of blood which is taken by one of our nurses then tested in our centre. Results are available within 40 minutes, following which the nurse will discuss with you which foods you are sensitive to and the severity of the sensitivity.Common conditions covered by a Food Sensitivity Test
