Food Intolerance Testing
with Clare Bartos, Nutritional Advisor and Rossella Riccobono, Nutritional Therapist
There are numerous factors that determine our health and help to prevent disease and Nutritional Advisor Clare Bartos is interested in the interaction between these factors. She believes that good nutrition, suited to our individual make up is one of the key factors. There are fundamental truths in most common sayings and “we are what we eat” is no exception to this rule! Food intolerance is her particular area of interest. Research demonstrates that the chronic inflammation resulting from food intolerance leads to many of the unpleasant complaints that we experience today.
These include:
Additionally chronic inflammation can lead to serious disease. Through testing for intolerances, adjusting diet and lifestyle, the therapist aims to help clients reduce or resolve their existing health problems and help to prevent future illness.
Consultations involve discussion about existing health issues, lifestyle and diet in order to assess whether intolerance testing might be appropriate. If a client decides that they would like to have a food intolerance test, blood will be drawn by way of a small prick to the thumb. Clare will help interpret your results and offer guidance and suggestions to help you adjust your diet accordingly.

Clare Bartos - Nutritional Advisor
My interest in nutrition and health began whilst I was studying for a Nursing Sciences Degree at Edinburgh University in the early 1990s. I was struck by the central role that nutrition plays in overall health as well as becoming aware of the need to treat the human body in a holistic way in order to achieve optimum well being. Since completing my degree, I further qualified as a midwife and breastfeeding supporter and spent a number of years at home with my children. During this time I worked as a postnatal doula and then as a problem based learning facilitator with year 1 and 2 medical students. I am currently working as a research consenter/ processor in cancer research and have completed my training as a Nutrition Advisor. I believe passionately in the power of diet to maximise health and have experienced impressive results myself through the avoidance of foods that I am intolerant to. I look forward to working with others and to supporting them to enhance their health and general well being. |
