 The healthy digestive tract, and let´s focus mainly on gut, has many different functions. Digestion of food is performed there, small particles of food are absorbed and transformed to energy. Vitamins and minerals are transported to the circulatory system, the gut contributes to the detoxification of organism and immunoglobulines and antibodies in gut represent first defence line of organism. 
Leaky gut syndrome is a pathological condition where big free areas are created between single cells of gut mucosa. Bacteria, toxins and food particles can penetrate through these "holes" directly into the bloodstream, which under normal, healthy conditions is impossible. But big food particles and toxic substances do not belong in the bloodstream. This activates the immune system, causing the production of antibodies not only against these particles but also against healthy tissues of our body - an autoimmune response. The more often we eat foods which cause our body produces these antibodies, the more the immune reaction escalates. This can result in many serious diseases. 
Therapy for this condition is complete elimination of food that is the main allergen. Furthermore, it is necessary to repair the gut. To do this, we use special substances that not only to adjust digestion but also help reconstruct the demaged gut - leaky gut (L-glutamine, polyunsaturated fatty acids - DHA, GLA, probiotics and prebiotics). 
Food alergy - is process mediated by IgE antibodies against proteins presented in food. The reaction is expressed very quickly after certain food are ingested, and is therefore easy to determine. Food intolerance - this process is very difficult to recognise because it is not express so markedly, is more hidden, and often it is very hard to determine by intuition alone. It is caused by the production of antibodies against certain foods, but it does not cause an IgE type reaction. It is a IgA reaction followed by IgG reaction. This food can become the cause of many diseases connected to digestive tract and digestion, but also of many other diseases which have nothing in common with the digestive tract at first glance. 
Dermatologic diseases (16%): acne, atopic eczema, psoriasis, itching, different forms of skin itching and burning. Digestion malfunctions (50%): pain of abdominal origin, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome. Respiratory diseases (10%): asthma, rhinitis, respiratory problems. These cases can be connected to allergy process. Psychiatric diseases (11%): anxiety, depressive conditions, fatigue and hyperactivity in children. Joint diseases: arthritis, muscular and connective tissue pain, joint edema. 
It has been scientifically proven that the elimination of sensitizing food in obese people who have not responded to other diets leads to a decrease in weight. This is why the food intolerance test is given as a basic examination before obesity treatment starts. 
Improvement of overall health status and all these diseases is observed in half to two thirds of these diseases after elimination of problematic foods from the diet. That is why we consider the food intolerance test so important, because simple elimination of a certain food or foods from the diet can markedly improve overall health status. What Hippocrates said 2400 years ago remains valid today: "Let the diet be your medicine." 
The food intolerance test examines 217 kinds of food by measuring IgE formation. The test results recommend which foods can be eaten without any restriction and also recommend which we should be avoided completely. The examination is performed from blood serum. |
