The relationship between Weight Gain & Food Intolerance.
If you are putting on weight, 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, as weight gain could be due to a food you have just eaten, or it could be because of a food you ate earlier in the day, or even one or two days previously.
Kathryn, a keen hill walker, has always had problems with her energy levels, as well as experiencing fluctuations in her weight with no discernible cause.
Recently, one of Kathryn’s friends recommended that she take a Smartblood Food Intolerance Test – this test identified her IgG trigger foods which she replaced with non reactive foods with the help of a Smartblood Nutritional Therapist – now she feels better, and climbs bigger hills!
After taking the test and changing my diet, I noticed a big improvement in my energy levels and weight, as well as less pain from bloating! - Kathryn
At Smartblood, we know how frustrating it can be waiting for a postal copy of your food intolerance test to arrive, especially if you are keen to know what trigger foods could be responsible for how you are feeling.
As soon as full Smartblood programme results have been approved for release by our Laboratory Director your full results report will be sent to you via email. View a summary of all reactive food groups and delve further in with interactive charts for each food or drink section, including one specifically for wheat, gluten, and other grains.
Knowing which foods you are intolerant to is only half of the battle when it comes to improving how you feel. That is why, with every full Smartblood Programme, we include a 30 minute consultation with one of our Smartblood Nutritional Therapists, all of whom are registered with the British Association of Nutritional Therapists (BANT); between them they have helped tens of thousands of people adjust and improve their diet following a positive food intolerance test.
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.
If you think that a food intolerance may be responsible for your Weight Gain then we believe that our easy to complete tests could help you. Find all of your food intolerances out at once with the full Smartblood test.
A Smartblood Test is a great way to discover all of your food sensitivities and take control over your own personal trigger foods.
Around 10% of our customers exhibit no IgG reactions – should your results come back completely negative, we’ll provide a FULL REFUND so you can continue your investigations through other testing.
Smartblood define food intolerance as a food or drink specific IgG antibody reaction. Smartblood do not claim or attempt to claim to diagnose medical conditions, or cure or treat medical conditions.
