Food Allergies & Intolerances

Are you suffering from headaches, bloating, wind, heartburn, eczema, sleep disturbances, ADHA, joint aches and pains, diarrhea, and constipation? These are just some of the symptoms associated with food allergies and intolerances.

For some people foods can cause distressing reactions, or chronic ill health. Foods can upset people for many reasons; some of these reasons include food intolerance, food allergy or coeliac disease.

Having a food problem may restrict your food choices somewhat, but it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy eating and sharing with family and friends.

Unlike allergies and coeliac disease, which are immune reactions to food proteins, intolerances don’t involve the immune system at all. They are triggered by food chemicals, which cause reactions by irritating nerve endings in different parts of the body.

If you’re having trouble working out which foods are upsetting you, we can help investigate the problem more systematically. This first step is to follow a strict elimination diet for 3 or 4 weeks to see if symptoms disappear.
