400;\">Food Intolerance?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A food intolerance is a digestive response when our stomach struggles to digest or break down certain foods. It happens when your digestive system lacks certain enzymes that are needed to break down food. Intolerance is more commonly experienced than allergies. 20 percent of people in the world have some kind of food intolerance. Typical food sensitivities consist of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Lactose<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Histamine<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Gluten<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_Food_Allergy\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food Allergy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A food allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to food as if it were harmful. Our immune system protects us from harmful particles. They recognize a harmless protein in your food as a dangerous intruder when you have a food allergy. Although less frequent than food intolerances, food allergies are more dangerous and require close monitoring. Food allergies affect 2-4% of adults and 6-8% of children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_Food_Intolerance_and_Allergy\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food Intolerance and Allergy:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food intolerance and allergy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are often confused with one another.

The immune response is not the same as these digestive problems. A food allergy test will not detect them. Here are some of the valid medical tests for food intolerance:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hydrogen_Breath_Test\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hydrogen Breath Test:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is the most reliable test for specific sugar intolerance. This work by drinking a solution containing a specific sugar. The bacteria in the gut ferment it if the body cannot digest it. The fermentation produces gases like hydrogen and methane. You breathe into a balloon-like device to measure these gas levels. This test helps to detect lactose intolerance and fructose malabsorption.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elimination_Diet\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elimination Diet:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There is no blood test for general food sensitivities. The best and medically accepted way to identify them is an elimination diet. You stop the suspected food for 2 to 6 weeks until the symptoms are cleared. Then one food group is reintroduced at a time to see which one is causing the symptoms. This method is simple and cost-effective.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_the_Testing_Include\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 27.2px; font-weight: 400;\">What Does the Testing Include?\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are mentioned a few evaluations that will be conducted by an expert specialist:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Patient Information: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes the name, age, sex, &amp; other demographic information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Main Issues: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main issue for seeking the test such as the precise symptoms or condition.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>History of present illness:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A detailed explanation of the candidate\u2019s symptoms, including when they first observed the issue, how often they occur, and any affiliated elements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Past medical history:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Details about the candidate\u2019s past medical conditions, surgeries, and medications will be required.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Family history:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential to briefly tell about any medical conditions that run in the candidate\u2019s family.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Physical exam:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential tests will be conducted during a physical examination.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Laboratory &amp; diagnostic tests:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results of any laboratory tests or imaging examinations that were performed will be evaluated.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Differential Diagnosis:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A list of possible diagnoses based on the candidate\u2019s symptoms and test results will be provided.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Diagnosis:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final diagnosis is made based on all of the information collected in the history, physical exam, and diagnostic tests of the candidate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Treatment:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recommended treatment plan for the candidate, including medications and any additional follow-up visits or tests, will be discussed here.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Choose_Enfield_Royal_Clinic\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Choose<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Enfield Royal Clinic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right facility for testing is crucial for accurate and reliable results. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.enfieldabudhabi.ae\/en\">Enfield Royal Clinic<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offers specialized testing and personalized care with precision and safety.
