Digestion & Food Intolerance Assessment
A food “sensitivity” is far more common than a food “allergy”, with which it is often confused.
Food Sensitivities can take hours, days or even weeks or longer to manifest symptoms.
A food “allergy” on the other hand, causes a hypersensitive reaction of the immune system and usually reveals itself within a few minutes of eating or being exposed to the offending allergen.
How does it work?
Our non-invasive assessment uses bioresonance technology, where a comfortable headset is placed over the ears to carry out a gentle scan.
You’ll receive a personalised report highlighting:
- Foods your body may be more sensitive to
- Foods that may be better suited to your system
- General insights into digestive balance
What Are Food Sensitivities?
Food sensitivities or intolerances are reactions that can sometimes be associated with symptoms
such as:
-
Bloating
-
Constipation
-
Symptoms similar to IBS
-
Diarrhoea
-
Fatigue
-
Headaches
-
Skin issues (e.g. rashes, eczema)
-
Joint discomfort
-
And other general wellbeing concerns
Whole-Body Insight
In addition to food-related responses, the assessment also looks at general energetic patterns relating to major organ systems. This may help identify areas that could benefit from additional support.
