Food Intolerance Evaluation

Food intolerance is the inability to process certain foods. Food intolerances can lead to Leaky Gut Syndrome (also known as Dysbiosis), where inflammation allows undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream via loose junctions between intestinal cells. This triggers an immune response that can cause a wide array of symptoms throughout the body. Consuming foods to which we are intolerant can result in chronic inflammation, which can lead to symptoms such as chronic pain, skin conditions (eczema, hives, boils, rashes), headaches, migraines, sinusitis, digestive issues (nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation), autoimmune conditions, and fatigue. Inflammation is a known precursor to chronic illness. Removing food intolerances is a strategy for preventing and treating chronic illness. Many seek a Naturopathic Food Intolerance Evaluation to relieve symptoms and support their optimum health and that of their family members. Food intolerances are often inherited, following one parent, the other parent, or both. Knowing your food intolerances from an early age can significantly enhance health.
