What is the difference between a food allergy and food intolerance.?
Posted by: admin / Category: food intolerance
an allergy means that you have an allergic reaction and it could be fatal for you to ingest that certain food. ex- if you have a peanut allergy you could die depending on how severe it is. a food intolerance means that you can eat it but it upsets your stomach. ex- i am lactose intolerant so i drink lactaid brand milk. i can drink whole or skim or whatever but it upsets my stomach horribly. i will not die though, like if i was allergic.
Where can i get a good food intolerance test for a decent price in London?
Posted by: admin / Category: food intolerance testI suspect that i have some sort of intolerance to foods.. i suffer from regular tiredness daily and get lethargic very easily. I also have anxiety and spells of depression. I think that consuming the wrong foods can worsen these symptoms. I’m guessing that wheat and dairy could be the culprits too. I’d rather get tested to see exactly what foods don’t agree with me, instead of eliminating foods myself.
By the way, i don’t plan to visit Bupa, as i think there prices are way too high. Any others?
Thanks
Commercial food allergy testing has been shown to be both unreliable and misleading. See your GP.
