Doctors Can Help You Find Out if You Have Food Allergies or Food Intolerance with Testing

       If you are having trouble with your eating patterns and the effect that the foods you are eating are causing painful or upset in your body, then you may have a food intolerance or a food allergy. Doctors can perform a test to help you decide if it is allergy or intolerance. Once determined, if the problem is allergy-related, the doctor will recommend that you avoid that particular ingredient altogether. If an intolerance is the problem, then the doctor will most likely ask you to keep a record of all that you eat for a certain period of time, noting when you have adverse reactions when you eat certain foods. You may then take those foods and remove them from your diet for a specified period of time and add them back in at small dosages to find the point of the intolerance. You will then have a guide as to how much of an ingredient your body can withstand and regulate it to keep from getting sick.
