Have you ever felt bloated, fatigued, or had problems with your stomach without knowing why? Have you ever had days where you feel unwell even with regular exercise and diet? If you answered yes to any of this, you might want to look after the food that you take on a daily. In taking a Food Intolerance Test, knowing your food “enemy” is as easy as 1-2-3.
The Food Intolerance Test (FIT) is a comprehensive test from Cambridge Nutritional Sciences originating from the United Kingdom, and it is the only test of its kind in the country. LifeScience Center for Health and Wellness is the first health and wellness facility that has successfully used the Food Intolerance test as a tool in guiding the health of their clients.
If your body has an intolerance to a specific food, it will not be able to digest the food properly. This reaction could lead to a lot of unwanted, long term effects, such as stomach ache, bloating, diarrhea, skin problems, constipation, weight gain, and even anxiety and depression.
This writer had the chance to take her own FIT and this was her result. 
The FoodPrint Test Report lists the food that your blood sample has tested for—the number of foods displayed will depend upon the FoodPrint IgG test selected. Depending upon the antibody level detected, foods are categorized as Elevated (red), Borderline (yellow) and Normal (green). Color-coding of these categories allows ‘problem’ foods to be easily identified and avoided.
Aside from the FoodPrint Test Report, LifeScience also provides helpful modules such as healthy recipes, Phytonutrient Spectrum Foods chart and a health journal to help clients track the changes and reactions of their body during the whole process of the FIT.
The Food Intolerance Test is one of the Center’s tools to help patients heal and make sure that their bodies are at optimal health. It is available at LifeScience for P12,400 with nutritional counseling with a physician and a nutritionist dietician.
