Did you know 45% of the population suffers from food intolerance?
Have you ever wondered why you sometimes feel bloated after eating certain foods or wondered why some diets just don't work for you? Then the Food Detective food intolerance test is for you! Your symptoms could be anything from anxiety and insomnia to IBS and water retention, and you may even have more than one symptom! Finding out that you have intolerance to certain foods can help you to kick-start a new approach to food and help you maintain a healthy life-style. If you find you are intolerant to certain foods you should find that removing the offending foods will allow you to lead a much more fulfilling life, free from the symptoms that you have endured for many years.

What's the difference between food intolerance and a food allergy?
An allergic reaction to food usually occurs within 2 hours of exposure to the "reactive" food, whilst food intolerance is usually delayed and may take days to appear - this makes it very difficult for us to pin-point certain food which are having a detrimental affect on us. Food allergies are specific to one food, intolerance can be to many different foods, and finally an allergic reaction may manifest itself in sneezes, runny nose, breathing difficulties and in extreme cases anaphylactic shock.
Whilst an intolerance to food may not seem as reactive or sever symptoms can often be vague and the root cause of the problem, food, is not always correctly diagnosed If you have an intolerance you could experience multiple symptoms, from migraine to bloating, diarrhoea, lethargy and a general feeling of unwellness. Sufferers often complain of seeming to be in a 'fog', feeling bloated and being tired all the time.
