Do you feel sick after eating?


What is it?

To improve our health and quality of life, it is advisable to know which foods we are sensitive to, in order to reduce consumption or even eliminate them temporarily.

The alteration of the intestinal membrane prevents the correct absorption and as a consequence the appearance of different symptoms, such as digestive disorders, headaches, fatigue, joint inflammation or skin problems.

Process


The food sensitivity test directly analyses the amount of IgG antibodies to the food.

It requires a simple blood sample.

Results available within 5 to 7 working days.

Personalised report based on foods from the Mediterranean diet.


Find out which foods you are sensitive to.

Results


The report provides individual quantitative results for each of the foods studied.
The reactions are classified according to their intensity into:

  • ΟΟΟΟ NORMAL
  • ΟΟΟΟ MILD
  • ΟΟΟΟ STRONG
  • ΟΟΟΟ VERY STRONG

Learn which foods you are sensitive to in order to improve your health and quality of life.

The results do not in themselves constitute a complete diagnosis and should not be taken as the sole basis for a fundamental change in diet. In case of positive reactions, seek the advice of a qualified specialist.

Go to a Cerba centre and ask for this analytical study.

  • GASTROINTESTINAL: Abdominal pain, bloating, wind or diarrhoea.
  • DERMATOLOGICAL: Skin rashes, acne, eczema…
  • Migraine, muscle pain or fluid retention may also occur.
  • These symptoms usually appear a few hours after eating the food.

The main objective of the food sensitivity test is to study the concentration of IgG antibodies that our immune system has generated against foods commonly found in the Mediterranean diet.

For this purpose, Cerba has two sensitivity test options, STANDARD (108 foods) or PLUS (216 foods).

Delivery times vary depending on the food sensitivity test option you have chosen, between 5 and 7 working days.

It is not necessary, food intake will not change the results obtained in the food sensitivity test.
