DESCRIPTION:
Intolerances differ significantly from allergies. Unlike allergies, intolerances may vary from situation to situation, while an allergy always produces the same reaction. Intolerances are caused by the body’s inability to process specific substances and may cause bloating, digestive problems such as gas and/or diarrhea, fatigue, headaches and even the inability to lose weight or weight gain.
Symptoms may be difficult to link to specific medicinal herbs because they may not occur until hours or days later. To complicate the situation, each individual has a different tolerance for specific substances, so even if a person has an intolerance, it may be mild so that a small amount of the herb doesn’t cause a reaction until enough of the herb is consumed consistently over time.
WHY DO I NEED IT?
Are you experiencing headaches, rashes, chronic digestive discomfort and diarrhea, obesity or the inability to lose weight?
Trying to identify the cause of chronic discomfort can be complicated when it doesn’t seem linked to a specific herb or medication, but the intolerance and sensitivity test can help. Pinpointing specific medicinal herbs that should be avoided can produce dramatic relief of uncomfortable symptoms.
Because some intolerances develop later in life due to compromised digestive functions brought on by stress, alcohol intake and the use of NSAIDs, adults may find that they have developed intolerances to foods or herbs they have been eating their whole lives. In addition, digestive functions become more sluggish as we age so it is common for lactose intolerances, for example, to develop after 40. The chronic reaction from intolerances can prevent people from losing weight and cause chronic inflammation.
Intolerances are much more common than allergies and dietary and lifestyle changes to avoid the offending food or substance can help you feel better quickly.
OTHER RELEVANT TESTS:
People who purchased the Food Sensitivity and Intolerance – 40 Male Herbs Panel also considered the Basic Check Up or one of the Sensitivity and Intolerance tests to Molds, Environmental Chemicals or the 50 Food Panel.
TEST DETAILS:
The test results will provide a report that graphically represents foods and substances in groups:
Green: Indicates acceptable foods or substances / no reaction (This is not an allergy test so allergens may be listed here.)
Yellow: Indicates a mild intolerance and these items should be avoided if possible or be placed on a 4 day rotational diet, to decrease the food sensitivity within the body
Orange: Indicates a moderate Intolerance and these items should be avoided for a minimum of 3-6 months
Red: Indicates a severe Intolerance and these items should be avoided for a minimum of 6 months.
WHAT TYPE OF PHYSICIAN SHOULD I SEE?
