Food Intolerances

Food Intolerances can be caused by a reaction to chemicals found in food, or by a deficiency of digestive enzymes in your body. Symptoms can develop at any age, and may develop quickly or slowly.

You can present with a range of different symptoms when you have a Food Intolerance. You may get skin conditions such as eczema, develop respiratory conditions such as nasal congestion and a cough, or notice digestive symptoms like bloating, wind and diarrhea. You may also have difficulty losing weight.

Treatment

Our Nutritional will show you how to complete a Food Symptom Diary so we know what foods are causing your symptoms. Then we will create an Elimination Diet that will allow you to eat and be symptom free, to which we will then slowly add different food to see if you can tolerate them.

We will also look at eliminating stimulants; certain additives and life stress that can all make your intestine more sensitive. At the same time we will help you add certain foods to strengthen the lining of your gut and to help balance your gut flora.

We can also prescribe a host of tests for Food Intolerances and Food Allergies.

You may also be experiencing cravings, which are a sign of a nutritional deficit in your body. We can help you manage your cravings and get your body back into nutritional balance.

Food Intolerances are not generally picked up in a routine medical check, and you may have been living with your uncomfortable symptoms for some time. Call us today on 020 7499 8922 and we will get you on the road to recovery.
