FAQs

1. What is food intolerance testing?

Food intolerance testing is a diagnostic procedure used to identify specific foods that may cause adverse reactions in an individual. It typically involves a blood test that measures the body’s immune response to various food antigens.

2. How does food intolerance differ from food allergies?

Food intolerances primarily affect the digestive system and are often dose-related, meaning small amounts may not cause a reaction. Food allergies involve the immune system, can affect multiple organs, and even a tiny amount of the allergen can trigger a severe reaction.

3. What symptoms might indicate a food intolerance?

Symptoms of food intolerance can vary widely but often include digestive issues such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation, as well as headaches, fatigue, and skin irritations like eczema.

4. How is the testing done at Brisbane Livewell Clinic?

At Brisbane Livewell Clinic, food intolerance testing is conducted through a simple blood test that analyses your body’s reaction to a wide array of foods, providing a comprehensive report on your specific intolerances.

5. Do I need a referral from a GP to get tested?

No, a referral from a GP is not necessary. You can book an appointment directly with Brisbane Livewell Clinic for food intolerance testing.

6. How long does it take to get the results?

Results from your food intolerance test are typically available within 2-3 weeks after your blood sample is taken. Our health professionals will schedule a follow-up consultation to discuss your results and next steps.

7. What happens after I receive my test results?

Once you receive your test results, our nutritionists and naturopaths will work with you to develop a personalized dietary plan. This may include eliminating or reducing intake of certain foods, substituting problematic foods, and possibly introducing supplements to support your health.

8. Is food intolerance testing covered by health insurance?

Coverage varies by health insurance provider and plan. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to inquire about coverage for food intolerance testing.

9. Can food intolerances be cured?

While food intolerances are not “cured” in the traditional sense, many individuals can manage their symptoms effectively through dietary changes. In some cases, reintroducing small amounts of the intolerant food over time may be possible under professional guidance.

10. How can I book a food intolerance test at Brisbane Livewell Clinic?

Booking is easy! You can book your Food Intolerance Testing Brisbane here or call us directly at (07) 3861 5881. Our friendly staff will assist you in scheduling your visit to either our Wavell Heights or Cannon Hill clinic.
