Biotech Health provides Food Allergy, Intolerance and Sensitivity Testing in Bournemouth Poole and Christchurch

Food allergy intolerance & sensitivities have been found to be a major source for health ailments. It is important to understand the difference between these:

Food Allergies
A food allergy is an adverse and often immediate reaction to a food with symptoms including swollen lips, mouth, tongue, urticaria (rash), dizziness and vomiting appearing within seconds or minutes of coming into contact with it. Allergies are potentially fatal. With an allergy, the immune system mistakes a food for a ‘parasite’ and goes into overdrive to repel it. Allergies tend to be for very specific foods and the only reliable tests for allergies are the Prick or RAST (Radio-immunodiffusion Test).

Food Intolerance
The symptoms for food intolerance however appear many hours or even days after eating the offending food and tend to lead to long term problems such as:

Anxiety
Mouth ulcers
Aching joints
Aching muscles
Fatigue Headaches
Migraine
Sinus problems
Digestive
Indigestion Irritable Bowl
Bloating
Gas
Hyperactivity
Weight gain
The most common food intolerances are wheat, dairy products and stimulants like coffee, sugar, chocolate. Food intolerances are very common and unlike allergies can be reversed. They are caused by partially digested food entering the blood stream and triggering an immune system reaction.

The Asyra System checks for food intolerances not allergies. By loading the body with intolerant foods the immune system has to work hard and a lot of energy is wasted. When these foods are avoided this energy can be directed to aiding and maintaining your health. By knowing what food you are intolerant to you can more than likely make a significant step in dealing with your health condition.

The test itself takes about 5 minutes with the Asyra System and intolerant foods should be avoided for about three months. After this time the body usually becomes tolerant to them again and they can be reintroduced into your diet.
The standard food intolerance test consists of approximately 104 foods including:

It is important to note that the Asyra System does not perform any kind of chemical analysis or diagnosis. It monitors a natural energetic response of acupuncture points to test signals. The tests are non-invasive and the results are produced immediately.
