If you suffer from bloating, IBS, fatigue, weight gain, migraines, brain fog or joint pain then it is possible that you could be one of the estimated 9 million(1) adults in the UK with a food intolerance.
When choosing the correct food intolerance test for YOU, seperating the wheat from the chaff can be very difficult, with a wrong decision having serious consequences. See our free (and not entirely unbiased) guide below on what to look for and look out for when deciding on a food intolerance test in the UK today.
The most important aspect of picking a food intolerance test that will actually test your food intolerances is to pick an E.L.I.S.A. Testing laboratory that uses rigorous scientific methodology, and not use a company that uses "bio-resonance" testing. Such testing uses a machine similar to what the Scientology religious movement use for detecting stress. Smartblood use ELISA testing for IgG1-4 antibodies.
Great, so you've found a food intolerance testing laboratory that uses ELISA testing. The next factor you should consider is how quickly the laboratory can give you your results. Over a week is unacceptable. Smartblood can give you your results 3 days after we recieve the sample, most other ELISA laboratories take a week longer!
All reputable laboratories have easy means of contact - make sure that phone numbers are displayed and answered. It is also reassuring if you are sent updates on when your sample is recieved, and when your results are ready. Smartblood is always available during business hours and we use SMS and email to keep you up to date with testing progress.
Accessing and understanding your results is of the utmost importance - some laboratories supply you with little more than a couple of sheets of paper - Smartblood provide you with instant online results as soon as they are ready.
Eliminating and replacing identified trigger foods should always be carried out under the supervision of a BANT registered nutritional therapist - All of Smartblood's nutritional therapists are BANT registered, and have helped thousands of people take action with food intolerance test results.
Some food intolerance testing laboratories have testing options that are so expensive that they offer a finance plan! Smartblood strives to offer testing that is accessible and affordable.
