The symptoms of food intolerance vary enormously from person to person. Some people may only suffer from the occasional bout of indigestion while others may be so ill they cannot get out of bed. Because everyone is different and food intolerance doesn’t follow a typical ‘cause and effect’ criteria there is no single solution to treating the condition. What works for one person, may not necessarily work for another.

If you suffer from food intolerance and have little success in treating the symptoms they key is not to be discouraged, there are a number of different approaches to treating the condition which can help you manage your symptoms and enable you to lead a ‘normal’ life. Some treatments may even be able to identify and completely eradicate the root causes which give rise to the symptoms.

The following pages in this section detail the key approaches to treating food intolerance through complementary and conventional medicine.  We have found the best approaches are those which attempt to identify what has caused the intolerance in the first place, and those which treat more than just the symptoms themselves.
