Clients are asked to fill in a questionnaire concerning symptoms and any
current medication. You will need to allow about an hour for the consultation in
which any specific health concerns will be discussed in more detail following
the results of a simple, painless test.
Easily achievable goals will be set which
we mutually agree on, whilst taking into account your specific needs, medical
history and health concerns. You will also be advised on any supplements that
may be relevant to your particular needs, helping to support you and your body
back to health.
What does an intolerance
test involve?
Using the very latest technology Gillian will test for over 85 different
substances including a wide range of common foods, drinks, dust, pollen, pet
hair, E-Numbers, additives etc. The
procedure provides instant results and is quick, non-invasive and
painless.
Following the test Gillian
will advise you on how best to eliminate harmful food from your diet and will
provide you with information on safe nutritional alternatives whilst following
an elimination programme.
A sheet with full
information of what has been tested, what is advised for avoiding and general
nutritional advice is given to the client for future reference.
Food Intolerance NI must
point out that this test is an alternative, complimentary advice approach, and
is not a medical diagnosis; and is used to pinpoint potential foods that may be
causing you problems. It
has an accuracy rate of 75 - 80%, but the elimination diet is known to have an
accuracy rate of 100%.
Who can be
tested?
This test is suitable for
anyone, however Food Intolerance NI must point out that clients with a pacemaker
should have had a recent satisfactory pacemaker check and must inform
your therapist, Gillian.
