Nour Clinic – Food Print™ Test Overview

Discover Food Intolerances at Nour Clinic

At Nour Clinic, the best clinic in Dubai for food intolerance testing, we offer the FoodPrint™ Test to help you identify specific food intolerances. This advanced IgG antibody test provides insights into how your immune system reacts to over 220 foods, helping you manage symptoms like bloating, migraines, and skin issues.

What is Food Print™?

The FoodPrint™ Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool used to identify food intolerances by measuring IgG antibodies in your blood. Unlike food allergies, which affect less than 2% of the population, food intolerances can impact up to 45% of people, leading to a range of symptoms. At Nour Clinic, we utilize this test to provide personalized dietary recommendations and improve your overall well-being.

Food Intolerance Explained

Food intolerance involves an immune response to certain foods, causing chronic symptoms such as abdominal bloating, joint pain, or skin rashes. With the FoodPrint™ Test available at Nour Clinic, you can pinpoint these intolerances and make informed dietary adjustments to alleviate your symptoms. Identifying and eliminating trigger foods can greatly enhance your quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is gluten-free the same as wheat-free?
  • Gluten-free products do not contain gluten, whereas wheat-free products do not contain wheat but may still have other gluten sources.
• Why is gliadin tested separately from gluten?
  • Gliadin is a component of gluten. Testing for gliadin helps identify specific immune responses related to gluten sensitivity.
• Will avoiding foods for months/years affect my results?
  • Avoiding foods for a long time may lower antibody levels, but the test can still detect responses even if the foods have not been recently consumed.
• Do I need a re-test after a few months?
  • A re-test may be recommended after following the elimination diet to evaluate changes in antibody levels and dietary response.
• Why do I react to foods I’ve never eaten?
  • Cross-reactivity can occur when proteins in different foods are similar, causing reactions to foods you haven’t consumed.
• What if I don’t experience any improvement?
  • Consult your health practitioner or nutritionist if you do not see improvement. Further evaluation may be needed.
• Does an elevated response to cow’s milk indicate lactose intolerance?
  • Elevated responses to cow’s milk indicate an immune reaction to milk proteins, not lactose intolerance.
• Can foods not detected by the FoodPrint™ Test cause issues?
  • Yes, some sensitivities may not be detected by the test. Other factors like chemical sensitivities or enzyme deficiencies may also cause symptoms.
