Food Intolerance Testing

Different than food allergies or food sensitivities - food intolerances are life long, non-changing inability to properly breakdown certain foods. This leads to a buildup of toxemia; by-products in the body that are difficult to excrete leading to inflammation and dis-ease states.

In short, this is a traditional naturopathic evaluation - not lab - to determine an individual’s food compatibility.

Toxemia is a by-product of poor or incomplete digestion. It’s like having dirty oil in your car. Without draining the old, dirty oil it does not matter the quality of the good oil; damage will result to the engine. Toxemia leads to inflammation and damage to your body.

Inflammation is the response to an irritant - toxemia, trauma, infection, etc. Short term inflammation is uncomfortable but a normal part of healing. Long term inflammation is a primary contributor to chronic illness.

Intolerance identification and elimination diet (of your specific intolerance(s)) eliminates the cause of dietary toxemia. Removal of the toxemia reduces inflammation and no longer blocks the body’s inherent ability to heal.

Yes, there are many naturopathic approaches to health. You can take any number of supplements to improve digestion and/or detoxification. However, no supplement can replicate the properly functioning digestion or detox the body as effectively and consistently as well as eliminating intolerant foods.
