YOUR FOOD INTOLERANCE

Food intolerance or allergy is a significant and widespread medical problem that can be difficult to diagnose. This app is designed to assist with the diagnosis of these conditions by analysing reactions to a wide variety of different food groups.

Food allergy can cause severe symptoms in sensitive individuals and may be life threatening if not correctly diagnosed. In many instances the offending food is easily identified however milder forms of food allergy may be more difficult to diagnose.

Food intolerance is a neglected area of medicine because of diagnostic difficulties, non-specific symptoms and the relatively mild nature of the resulting illness; however repeated irritation or inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract may have serious consequences including malabsorption syndromes, small bowel overgrowth, coeliac disease and bowel cancer.

Your Food Intolerance is an advanced diagnostic programme that is able to identify food groups and specific foods that may be causing your symptoms.

The app works by systematically restricting various food groups and individual foods in your diet over a set period and analysing your food intake and any associated symptoms within the designated time interval. Restrictions are designed to allow a varied and reasonable diet within the allotted time frame. Symptoms are measured for their frequency and severity and are categorised as allergic or intolerant.

Time frames can be extended to allow diagnosis of more subtle or difficult food reactions.
