Detox provides specialist food sensitivity testing, right here from our base in Leeds.
Food Allergy Or Food Sensitivity (Intolerance)?

Many people think that if a particular type of food doesn’t agree with them, they must be allergic to it.

Food intolerances are very common and are thought to affect up to 25% of the population at some point in their lives. Unlike food allergies, food sensitivities can take days to cause physical symptoms, making it difficult to identify the exact foods causing the issues.
Signs You Have A Food Sensitivity
These symptoms are usually milder and don’t appear until a number of hours or days after you’ve eaten.

Skin conditions - acne, psoriasis, eczema
Fatigue and lethargy
Migraines
Bloating and IBS
Weight loss or weight gain
Fluid retention

Food allergies are less common but far more serious.
The symptoms of a food allergy include:

A rash (often itchy)
Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea and vomiting
Anaphylaxis - swelling of the tongue, lips or throat


What Causes Food Sensitivity?

Often, food sensitivity is connected to issues within your gut. When the very thin lining of the gut is damaged, food can pass through this protective barrier and cause an autoimmune response in the body.

Food sensitivity testing identifies the foods and allergens that are responsible and allow you to eliminate these from your diet, giving your gut and body time to heal.
How Does The Test Work?
We conduct the food sensitivity tests from our Leeds treatment rooms. During the screening, you’ll be tested for sensitivity to 114 of the most common foods and 35 E-numbers.

Our standard test also enables you to bring in up to five other foods to be tested. Perhaps you eat a lot of unusual or less common foods and want to make sure that they aren’t;t the cause of your symptoms.

You’ll also get a full assessment of your vitamin and mineral levels to identify any deficiencies that could be affecting your health and wellbeing.

Our Food Sensitivity Plus Test also incorporates testing 31 of the most common airborne allergens including pet hair, dust and pollen.
How Long Will The Test Take?
Our standard food sensitivity test takes around 1.5 hours, which includes the testing of up to five foods.

You’ll receive your results immediately.

How Much Does A Food Sensitivity Test Cost?
Standard Food Sensitivity Test (incl. 5 additional food items) - £125
Food Sensitivity Test Plus (incl. 31 airborne allergens test) + £150
