Ep 75 - Food intolerance tests for IBS

Inside Knowledge for people with IBS

Food intolerance tests promise you a clear list of foods to avoid, but unfortunately it's just not a dream that's backed by research.

In this episode I talk about:

• Why you're tempted with a food intolerance test
• What's the difference between food allergies and food intolerance?
• What makes IgG tests so unreliable
• Your next steps for measuring your response to foods
• What's the impact of following an elimination diet?
• Are there any valid tests for food intolerance?
