Food intolerance test

[tonyb]

Anyone had a food intolerance test? Apparently its a good way to see what's holding you back from getting lean when your doing everything else right and can't drop the body fat. cheers

Care to explain what they are and how to interpret the results etc?

I would've thought that the symptoms would be enough of a give away e.g. almost shitting your pants after having diary, bloated after having gluten?

yeah but for some people the symptoms arnt as obvious so they dont actually know especially with gluten. its quite common for people to have gluten intolerant without actually knowing

I think its a simple blood test? can anyone confirm?

And vice versa, it's quite common for people to self diagnose as gluten intolerant and not be.

For the gluten intolerance there is a blood test they can do and they check 3 main markers (cant remember what they are) and they follow it up with a endoscopy to check for inflammation. But there is no blood test that I know of for lactose except your doctor diagnosing based on your symptoms and a colonoscopy or endoscopy to check your gut for inflammation.

I was also thinking about it . But still i dont know that what kinda food test i will have to take . For check my food intolerance . i think i am lactose intolerance . Because sometimes dairy foods make uncomfortable my tummy .

When I eat some foods (especially fatty ones or white bread) my farts fkn reek. Does that mean I'm intolerant to these? It's really bad. My missus keeps telling me she's going to dump me. I've actually made her cry sometimes they are that bad. :twisted:

To check for your lactose intolerance, cut out lactose for a week and see how you feel, then start slowly reintroducing it and see what happens. Sometimes you can be only sensitive rather than allergic to something. that what Im like with gluten.

Hmm dude that sounds like a gall bladder or liver prob. Not that im a doc or anything but I have studied human physiology (and my gf has gall bladder probs) and that sounds like somethings up with them. Get that checked man, they will do a blood test and test for billiruben I think it is.

Ha ha there's no way i've got bliruben, I just looked up the symptoms and I'm far from it. I'm pretty fit and active and apart from the stink farts when I eat junk food I'm all good.
