Your Food Intolerance
Food intolerance or allergy is a significant medical problem that can be difficult to diagnose. It can cause severe symptoms and, in some cases, be life-threatening if not correctly diagnosed. While some cases are easily identified, milder forms of food allergy may be more challenging to diagnose.
Food intolerance is often overlooked in medicine due to diagnostic difficulties, non-specific symptoms, and the relatively mild nature of the resulting Illness . However, repeated irritation or inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract can have serious consequences, including malabsorption syndromes, small bowel overgrowth, coeliac disease, and bowel cancer.
The Your Food Intolerance app is an advanced diagnostic program that aims to identify food groups and specific foods that may be causing symptoms. The app works by systematically restricting various food groups and individual foods in the user's diet over a set period and analyzing the food intake and associated symptoms within that time frame. Symptoms are categorized as allergic or intolerant, and their frequency and severity are measured.
The app operates in three stages. In Stage I, users assign the foods they typically eat to one of the eight listed food groups and exclude one group each day for a set period. The results are analyzed, and if a suspect food group is identified, the user may complete the program or proceed to the next stage. In Stage II, if no suspect food group is identified, the user repeats the program excluding one group for seven days. In Stage III, if a suspect food group is found, the user selects the foods from that group and excludes one of them daily.
Throughout the program, users input data prior to each meal, including the food groups or foods they are about to consume and any symptoms experienced from the previous meal. At the end of the program, a report is generated listing any identified suspect food groups and foods, and whether the symptoms suggest intolerance or allergy.
The program typically takes several weeks to complete, with diligent recording and adherence to dietary restrictions. For individuals with complex allergies or intolerance, it may take 2 to 3 months to finish. It's important to note that the app is intended for individuals who have experienced symptoms of food intolerance or allergy for a number of months.
