Food Intolerance Evaluation:

Learn what foods your body can break down and what foods may be driving inflammation in your body. This is empowering knowledge with continued benefit for a lifetime! 

When a person eats foods to which he or she is intolerant, these foods are not properly digested and assimilated. This leads to a slow poisoning of the intestinal tract, and eventually all the body systems.

Presently:

Carroll evaluations are done by several well-established Naturopathic physicians across the world.  The empirical results, meaning the clinical outcomes that are observed by medical providers using the evaluation, are positive. 

Providers who use this type of evaluation frequently, do so because it empowers patients to control their own health outcomes.  Overall, our patients are empirically less dependent on expensive, repetitive visits to us because we offer this evaluation and because they remove their food intolerances from their diets. We recommend this evaluation for anyone who wants an individualized health plan for preventative healthcare or to alleviate the conditions they already suffer from. 

More research needs to be done to differentiate food sensitivities and intolerances from food allergies and to understand the clinical implications of both issues when left unaddressed.

Science:

Food Intolerance Evaluation is not an allergy test.  Currently, we are aware of several different kinds of reactivity to foods. 

Intolerance has to do with digestion and metabolism and is an enzymatic phenomenon, likely in part genetically determined.  Food intolerance means that a particular body does not digest or metabolize a particular food well.  As a consequence, mal-digestion may occur, and toxic metabolites can form in the intestine and be absorbed into the blood.  These can affect or interfere with the normal function of the body and become part of the basis of chronic illness.  

Allergy is different.  It is an immune system reaction in which food is perceived as if it were a foreign protein and the body inappropriately reacts, creating symptoms.  Allergy can be the result of an underlying intolerance.   

There are other, less well-defined reactions, which can occur to food in a body, which are generally referred to as food sensitivities. 

There are currently several methods of food allergy testing in use.  If we determine that you require this, we will discuss all options for allergy tests or sensitivity evaluations with you.
