 DIAGNOSIS OF FOOD HYPERSENSITIVITY AND FOOD INTOLERANCE
by the FOOD INTOLERANCE TEST

Recent estimates suggest that about 10% of the population exhibit clinical symptoms attributable directly to food hypersensitivity and food intolerance. Many more suffer from other allergies or ill defined medical problems which may be aggravated by their diets.

Food allergies are divided into two major categories:
Permanent or fixed allergies: Approximately 5% of food allergies are fixed allergies in which a patient already knows the offending foods which disagree with him. In such cases the relationship between food and symptoms is obvious.
Concealed or masked allergies: Approximately 95% of food allergies fall into this category in which a patient is not aware of the foods that disagree with him. These allergies therefore require special diagnostic testing with follow-up counseling and education. Masked allergies are associated with the foods that a susceptible individual eats frequently.
Food Intolerance Test:
In the food intolerance test a food allergen and patient blood, rich in white cells and platelets, are mixed together, incubated and observed under a phase contrast microscope. In the presence of allergenic foods, the red cells, white cells and platelets show toxic effects during which the white cells (neutrophils) become immobile and die and/or the platelets aggregate. In sharp contrast the red cells, white cells and platelets remain healthy with nonallergenic foods.The food intolerance test diagnoses fixed as well as masked allergies. Reports in the literature indicate a 70% success rate in patients who underwent the food intolerance test and dietary manipulations. The skin test, on the other hand, has been reported, at best, to have a 20% accuracy in diagnosing food allergies1.
