Has anyone tried testing for food intolerances using Cambridge Nutritional Sciences Ltd?

[Monix]

There is no one where I live that does these intolerance tests and came across this company who does them via post. I am tempted to give them a try.

Has anyone had any experience with them?

Monix, many private companies offering these type of tests are expensive and have mixed results. We would recommend that if you suspect you have an intolerance, that you discuss this with your GP and ask to be referred to an NHS hospital for tests. If this isn't an option then ask your GP to recommend a suitable private lab who could carry these tests out.

I agree with Fiona whole heartedly. Ask to be referred to a qualified immunological Dr or allergist. I imagine you suspect you are having problems with more than one food to be looking into this, and you will need qualified support in the event that a can of allergic or intolerant worms is opened which can sometimes be the case.

Your GP will be able to send off baseline stool and blood samples and perform standard breath tests as needed and then refer you if required. The company you mention above will almost definitely recommend you see a Dr if any issues crop up.

Good luck.
