Food Intolerance Sensitivity Testing

 

Some people use food "intolerance" and food "allergy" interchangeably. But there is a difference. A food allergy is an immune system reaction in which undigested food particles are absorbed into the bloodstream and perceived as if they were foreign proteins. The immune system responds to this situation by attacking the foreign substance, which can create various symptoms in the body (some severe), most which are immediate, although some can be delayed up to 48 hours.

What are Food Intolerances?

Some people use food "intolerance" and food "allergy" interchangeably. But there is a difference. A food allergy is an immune system reaction in which undigested food particles are absorbed into the bloodstream and perceived as if they were foreign proteins. The immune system responds to this situation by attacking the foreign substance, which can create various symptoms in the body (some severe), most which are immediate, although some can be delayed up to 48 hours.

Food intolerance is not the same as food allergy. Presently, we are aware of several different kinds of reactivity to foods. Food intolerance, also known as food sensitivity, has to do with digestion and metabolism, and is an enzymatic phenomenon which is considered to be genetic. Food intolerance means that a particular person does not digest or metabolize a particular food properly. As a consequence, one doesn't completely digest certain foods, which can lead to the production of toxic metabolites, creating inflammation within the gastrointestinal lining. This constant inflammation can lead to releasing toxic metabolites in to your bloodstream, a change in the pH of the intestines, an imbalance in the intestinal flora, and/or the growth of unhealthy bacteria and yeast in the small intestine.

If left undetected, the constant consumption of your intolerant foods can lead to many unwanted conditions, including, but not limited to:

It is a scientific fact that appetite and metabolism are controlled by blood chemistry, which is adversely affected when an offending food is consumed. Food sensitivities also cause cravings for sweets and starches, as well as bloating and water retention. Therefore, knowing and avoiding the foods you react to can help you reach your desired weight and feel better.

Testing for Food Intolerances

When you begin your journey to Wellness and order the program, a test kit will be shipped to you the next day with instructions for the lab. When we are notified of the delivery, someone will contact you to schedule an appointment for you to have the test done. You can choose to either go to a Lab Corp office or to have a medical professional come to your home, and a service representative will make the appointment for you, based on your schedule. The kit will then be shipped on your behalf and you will receive your results within 10 business days.

Upon receiving your results, we will schedule a time for you to speak with the Licensed Nutritionist to design an eating plan that suits you best. We will be with you during the entire program to insure your success.

And that's not all. We at Healing Arts For Wellness are committed to your success. We will provide unlimited telephone and email support in the form of Coaching. This will provide you with a comfortable environment to ask questions and learn how to be more successful on your program.
