Health Matters with Alison Cowell. Episode 3: Food Intolerances Health Matters with Alison Cowell

- Health & Fitness
Hello again and welcome to the third in this series of handy health tips from me, leading holistic nutritionist, Alison Cowell.
Today I'm focusing on food intolerances.
What’s the difference between food intolerance and food allergy?
How do you know if you have a food intolerance?
How can a food intolerance affect your life?
Food intolerances often go undiagnosed because people are unaware they have them. I was such a person! For many years I suffered with ‘IBS’ but eventually discovered that I had ulcerative colitis which was exacerbated by food intolerances. My enemies turned out to be eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms.
I meet many clients who suspect they have intolerances and who go on to eliminate gluten and/or dairy, only to be disappointed as their symptoms persisted. Whilst gluten and dairy are amongst the top 6 foods to be intolerant to, as you’ll discover in this show, you can be intolerant to absolutely anything you eat, no matter how healthy or organic it may be!
As always, you’ll find a blog and a free information sheet on each topic covered in this series at alisoncowell.com
