Food Intolerance Testing

Food Allergies and intolerances are very different. The symptoms of food allergy include sneezing, rashes, skin irritation, swelling, runny nose, fatigue, diarrhoea and vomiting. Onset of symptoms is very quick, generally within few minutes of eating or coming in to contact with the offending food, although they can be delayed by up to two hours. The most common food allergies are to peanuts, tree nuts (almonds and brazils), eggs, milk, fish and shellfish. A food intolerance usually has a delayed reaction that can take several days to appear.  Sufferers can experience multiple symptoms, from migraine to bloating, diarrhoea, lethargy and a generally feeling unwell.
