Why might you need some advice?

Many people believe that they are intolerant or allergic to a food or ingredient but there is a lot of conflicting advice as to how this should be managed, with many commercially available solutions or tests which are NOT backed up by scientific evidence.

ExpertEating will take an evidence based approach to the identification and management of any food intolerance or allergies that you or your family may be suffering from. This ensures that symptoms are managed without compromising nutritional intake or subjecting clients to unnecessary tests or inappropriate diets.

What will we do?

• We will ask you to keep a detailed food/symptom diary which will provide us with valuable information about your particular case.
• We will discuss your concerns and any perceived diet-symptom links. To support this we will obtain a full history of current and previous medical treatment, any diagnostic tests undertaken, dietary strategies tried and symptoms experienced..
• We will discuss appropriate strategies for identifying food triggers to help you decide upon the best approach to suit your symptoms and lifestyle. This may involve elimination of one food or ingredient through to a full exclusion diet..
• Where a food trigger or triggers are identified we will work with you to plan a suitable maintenance diet to balance symptom control with nutritional adequacy, advising on sources of ingredients and substitutes for eliminated foods.

What will you go away with?

• A personalised staged eating plan to identify any food triggers and then incorporate the findings into a balanced sustainable eating plan..
• Appropriate information sheets based on your individual needs. For both the identification and maintenance phases this will include recipes, shopping lists and meal and snack ideas tailored to your preferences and lifestyle.
• All your questions answered!.
• Follow up advice to support you throughout the identification, reintroduction and maintenance phases. After this further appointments are available if required plus phone /email support or simply our contact details in case you think of any other questions. See our clinics for more details or contact us to make an appointment.
