Optiway Food Intolerance Test

OPTIWAY

DESCRIPTION

Food intolerances relate to an adverse physiological response to a particular food. The mechanism by which this occurs and subsequent symptoms experienced, are very specific to the individual and the type of food in question. Identifying the specific reactive mechanism triggered by the ingestion of this food is vital to understanding the management and implementation of appropriate dietary interventions to limit potentially adverse symptoms.

Food intolerances occur when a person experiences difficulty in digesting a particular food that may lead to the symptoms mentioned above. Food intolerances or food sensitivities should not be confused with food allergies, although the terms are commonly used interchangeably in error.

Please note:

This test does not include a consultation session. This can be booked separately with us or with your chosen practitioner.
