Is Nutrition the missing link to your health?

Food intolerances can be the cause of many symptoms
including IBS, bloating, weight problems, depression, sinus issues, headaches,
anxiety, skin problems and insomnia to name but a few. A simple finger prick
food intolerance test which measures the levels of IgG antibodies to commonly
consumed vegetarian  foods could quickly and easily identify the foods at
the route of your symptoms.

Our food intolerance tests are performed by Cambridge
Nutritional Sciences one of the leading European laboratories and the first
laboratory to introduce IgG food intolerance testing to the
UK.

What is adrenal stress?

Prolonged or extreme stress can take its toll on the body increasing the output of stress hormones such as cortisol and DHEA from our adrenal glands (a pair of critically important glands which sit on top of our kidneys.

What causes adrenal stress?

Stress may come from a range of sources including psychological stressors, mental stress, physical stress such as exercise, infections, lack of sleep , poor nutrition, surgery, smoking, drug use and excessive alcohol consumption..

Why do this test?

The adrenal stress profile is a measure of an individual’s response to stress. Irregular output of these hormones can contribute to a number of conditions such as fatigue, anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings, increased disposition towards allergies and inflammatory conditions, sleeping problems and changes in blood pressure.

How does the test work?

The test measures the levels of DHEA and cortisol in small samples of saliva taken at 4 points over the course of the day.

If I have lowered or increased levels of cortisol or DHEA what can I do?
Dietary measures and certain supplements and medications can help to restore hormone levels to normal. A consultation would be helpful here to establish the most appropriate treatment programme for you

Sample requirements and turnaround times

4 small saliva samples are needed. Containers to collect these samples are provided with the test kit. Allow 5 days for delivery of the test kit. Results available within 10 days of receipt of sample.

What is Helicobacter Pylori?

Helicobacter is a bacteria which can reside in the mucous coating the lining of the stomach and duodenum. It is the most commonly found bacteria affecting up to 50% of the world’s population and. The infection may be non-symptomatic in some people.

What are the symptoms of Helicobacter Pylori?

Some H.pylori infections are ''silent'' and produce no symptoms, but when they do cause symptoms they are usually symptoms of gastritis or stomach ulcers. Typical symptoms of gastritis include vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain. Stomach ulcers are very similar to mouth ulcers where raw, sensitive patches develop on the lining of the stomach and cause a gnawing or burning pain. The pain can last for minutes or hours and will often feel worse on an empty stomach. Many people assume they have heartburn, as antacid medicine will often relieve the symptoms.

Why test for Helicobacter Pylori?

Detection is important to relieve the symptoms and even if there are no symptoms it is important to eradicate the bacteria as sufferers are at an increased risk of developing gastric and duodenal ulcers

How does the test work?

The test is a finger prick blood test which detects antibodies in the blood to Helicobacter pylori. Once you receive your test kit all you have to do is take a few drops of blood from a finger prick using the kit provided. The blood is collected in a small vial. You put the sample into the envelope provided and post it straight back to the laboratory (Freepost RRHL-EAES, Lab 21 Limited, 184 Science Park, Cambridge, CB4 OGA
Allow 5 days for delivery of the test kit. Results are available within 10 working days.
