Meat and fish are eaten regularly by most as part of a varied diet, providing a source of protein, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Everyone will know somebody that has food sensitivities to red meats such as beef or lamb, white meats such as chicken and duck, fish such as salmon or mackerel, or other seafoods such as prawns and crab.
Manifesting as bloating, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), weight gain, fatigue, skin problems, migraines or joint pain, even a mild food intolerance to meat or fish may have a major impact upon a person’s day to day activities, and the inclusion of these foods in a western non vegetarian diet is so common that the actual intolerances can be difficult to find, and also to avoid successfully.
Smartblood Story - Julia's Sensitivity to Beef
Julia is a market trader, and also studying speech and language therapy. Julia has suffered with regular migraines for over 22 years, and has tried everything to get rid of them, even ice baths!
It wasn’t until Julia had a Smartblood food intolerance test recommended to her by one of her friends that she found out that she had raised IgG antibody levels to beef as well as other foods. Replacing these foods with others on the advice of a Smartblood nutritional therapist has made a big difference in Julia’s life – her migraines have vanished, and she would recommend a Smartblood test to anybody.
I was getting awful Migraines every week. I took the Smartblood test, changed my diet, and now I don't get Migraines - It's amazing! - Julia
