What is the BioScan Food Intolerance Test?

•  

  We use FDA Registered Med II technology to ensure optimal results. BioScan IHTBIO is an advanced system that analyses over 300 potential food intolerances. The BioScan Food Intolerance Test is recognised worldwide as a global leader in functional medicine technology. It is found in the most advanced clinics in the UK, Australia, and the USA. 

  This food intolerance test aims to identify food imbalances that may be linked to symptoms such as:

  -Digestive discomfort

  -Unexplained weight gain

  -Brain fog

  -Gut health issues

  -Skin concerns

  -Unexplained weight changes

  -Fatigue or low energy

  -Identifying these imbalances may support you in making informed dietary choices.

  The Trial Elimination Approach

   

  Trial elimination is the recommended HSE approach. But working out what foods to avoid can be a challenge. Your food intolerance test at Dublin Vitality Centre enables you to identify suspected foods. Food intolerances (or imbalances) are typically non-permanent. Where imbalances are identified, we recommend a trial elimination protocol, which involves:

  • Temporarily removing specific foods from your diet
  • Following this for up to 3 months
  • Gradually reintroducing foods to assess tolerance

  This structured approach can help you better understand how your body responds to certain foods.

How Many Items Are Tested During a Food Intolerance Test in Dublin?

At Dublin Vitality Centre, we provide an advanced food intolerance test in Dublin using the BioScan FDA Registered Med II system.

Our standard food intolerance test analyses over 300 food items, carefully selected based on the most common dietary patterns and intolerances identified over many years of clinical use. What makes our food intolerance testing in Dublin unique is its flexibility. While your test will include over 300 foods as standard, the BioScan system is supported by a database of over 40,000 items including body systems, nutrients and supplements. If you prefer to undergo a full body scan, you may upgrade to this on the day.  If you have specific suspected food intolerances, we recommend letting us know in advance. We can ensure these items are included as part of your food intolerance test in Dublin.

What Foods Are Included?

The core panel of 300+ foods has been developed using data from thousands of clients over the past two decades, focusing on the most commonly consumed foods and reported sensitivities. However, because of the extensive database available, we can also test for:

• -Additional or less common foods
• -Specific branded or processed items
• -Dietary preferences (e.g. vegan, gluten-free, high-protein diets)
• -Individual foods you suspect may be causing symptoms

During your food intolerance test at Dublin Vitality Centre, your therapist can:

• Adjust your test in real time

This ensures your food intolerance test in Dublin is personalised, relevant, and comprehensive.
