Joint Pain

Joint Pain

The relationship between Joint Pain and Food Intolerance.

If you suffer from stiff or painful joints, and have not yet discovered a cause then it is possible that you could be one of the estimated 9 million(1)  adults in the UK with a food intolerance.

These food sensitivities can be very difficult to pinpoint - often a trial and error elimination diet alone can take months before trigger foods are identified. Take control and Turbo-Charge your investigations with an IgG Antibody Food Intolerance Test from Smartblood Laboratories.

Lee's Joint Pain.

Lee is a youth support worker and illustrator. He experiences days where he has joint pain in his shoulders and knees and also fatigue.

View Lee's video story to see how a Smartblood food intolerance test helped him identify his trigger foods, one of which was Caffeine, and how a consultation with a Smartblood Nutritional Therapist helped him identify foods that contained Caffeine and showed him suitable replacements.

Smartblood Testing is definitely something that I would recommend.

Smartblood could help you to identify causes of your joint pain.

Smartblood Laboratories are Food Intolerance Specialists. We provide you with an accurate testing service based upon a 45 year old Laboratory method known as ELISA Plate Testing.

By testing a small sample of your blood, we will show you your IgG reactions to 134 food and drink ingredients - if you test positive to any of them then research shows that it is possible that you have a sensitivity to that food type. By eliminating that food type with the help of one of our nutritional therapists you could take control of your joint pain.

In a Randomised Controlled Trial Conducted by Atkinson, Sheldon, Shaath et al, a clinically significant improvement in symptomatology was observed in patients eliminating foods to which they were found to exhibit sensitivity, as identified by an ELISA test for the presence of IgG antibodies to these foods - see more details and studies on our scientific studies page.
