About the test
The food intolerance test is carried out with a Vega testing machine. This is a simple electrical device which measures your response to a wide range of food and drinks. It is a non-invasive procedure which means that there are no needles involved.
To receive the test you simply hold a metal rod in one hand as the end of your finger is gently probed with a metal stylus, which looks a bit like a ball point pen.
There are a wide range of foods, drinks and additives tested - 82 altogether.
You'll receive the results of the test immediately together with recommendations for any dietary changes that would be helpful to you.

About the consultation
I will ask you a number of questions about your health and about your diet and fluid intake.
The reason for this is that although the test is very helpful at pin-pointing which foods are causing a problem usually things are a little more complex.
By looking at your health and diet in detail I can, as a nutritional therapist, offer you additional advice and recommendations.

Is there anyone who can't take the test?
It is not recommended for anyone who has a pacemaker.
Children can be tested but they need to be able to sit fairly still during the test which takes about 15 minutes. The youngest child I have tested successfully was 5 years old.
