Tests Available:
Emma can offer a number of tests to help support her nutritional recommendations, these include:
Food Intolerance Testing
Can be very helpful to identify any food sensitivities or foods that people are reacting to, which can then help people to optimise their diet to help support their symptoms.
The food intolerance test is a finger prick test and can check intolerance to over 200 foods and drinks. It extremely accurate, as it tests for the immune reaction of all four sub types of food specific IgG antibodies in the blood, these are produced when somebody has intolerance to certain foods.
This test is suitable for adults and children (ages 2-17yrs) and is Practitioner only, so would need to be ordered through Emma. Please contact her for more details.
Comprehensive Stool Analysis
The stool test is an extremely good indicator of gut and microbiome health, it lets us know what is ‘going on’ inside the digestive system to be leading to the gut symptoms the client is experiencing.
It looks for multiple biomarkers that help assess inflammation, immune function, digestion, gut barrier integrity and the composition of the microbiome.
This test is suitable for adults and children (ages 2-17yrs), is a simple and easy home testing kit and is Practitioner only, so would need to be ordered through Emma. Please contact her for more details.
