The Benefits

Eliminating Foods your body is Intolerant to can potentially improve your overall health.
Here are a few things that can happened once you eliminate those offending foods!

A Settled Digestive System
Food Intolerances can cause a number of gastrointestinal symptoms, like nausea, bloating, acid reflux, heartburn, constipation, diarrhoea, and vomiting. Eliminating foods, you are intolerant/ sensitive to can negate these symptoms. This is due to food not breaking down well and causing inflammation in your digestive system.

“ Most people go through life eating inflammatory foods that create many chronic diseases and health conditions, including low mood and energy. Food intolerances can be very destructive to the body. They cause more subtle health challenges that make someone feel uncomfortable without outward immune reaction. These reactions can take up to 3 days to develop therefore making it very difficult for you to identify the offending foods and connecting the symptoms. That is why we recommend testing!” Yvonne O’ Shaughnessy
