At Dublin Vitality Centre, The Gut Wellness Clinic, we know only too well the frustration that can result when topical creams do not work for skin conditions and when you have tried all the suggestions and foods that are said to help constipation, bloating, cramping, IBS and unexplained weightgain. Change of life menopause and HRT can cause excess hormones and other changes to happen within the body.
At Dublin Vitality Centre, we understand that the answer often is to found by focusing on correcting gut and food imbalances. Certainly, food intolerances testing should be considered as it may be the underlying cause of gut health problems like constipation, bloating, cramping, IBS and weight gain, but may also be indicated in skin issues. Naturally, as the body changes with menopause, the foods that once served the body may also change.
It is generally accepted that the best way to overcome a food intolerance is by trial elimination of suspected items which means removing the suspected food from the diet for a period of up to three months. This can be more difficult than it sounds because it is hard to know exactly which items are causing the problem. To help establish food intolerants in a more scientific way, and to take the guesswork out of their wellness recovery plan, many people chose to undergo food intolerance testing. The BioScan Food Intolerance Test as Dublin Vitality Centre has proven to be a highly useful and for many, a life-changing course of action especially for those who have given up trying to work out their food intolerances by themselves, or by guessing. By seeing clearly the foods that are imbalanced, it is possible to create a more structured trial elimination plan, one which can be followed with assurance. Imbalanced foods are also the likely food intolerants, which means that very often they are one and the same.
On arrival, you will be asked to complete a form. Here you will have the opportunity to discuss you concerns with a qualified nutritionist, to ensure you understand the test, and to ensure you have selected the right test for you. If you are interested in other gut or skin protocols or in undergoing your food intolerance test as part of a programme at Dublin Vitality Centre which includes colonics, probiotics and skin therapies, these can be discussed at your consultation. Once you are seated comfortably, you will be asked to remove jewellery and watches and may be requested to shake your hands out several times to help warm them up. The food intolerance testing technology used at Dublin Vitality Centre is much like an ECG scan that one might find in a hospital.
Electrodes are applied to the hands and connected to the BioScan Food Intolerance Testing System. One simple way to describe the testing science is to understand it as follows: a digital signature that resembles the food is emitted at the body, one which the food intolerance testing technology records your response to. Each food sample is tested four times to check for consistency. You will hear a beep each time a food is tested.
Once the BioScan Food Intolerance Test is completed you, will be provided with a chart. The chart and results depicted will be explained to you by the therapist. Always ask your physician before making changes to your diet, or if you suspect you may have an allergy because food intolerances and allergies are very different.
