If you are a new patient, the first step to get to the bottom of your food sensitivities is to schedule an Initial Naturopathic Consultation - (403) 609-8385 to see if this is best. Testing can be done during the first visit and results take around 10 days to come in from the lab.

Is the Test For Me?
Working with you to make sure that your diet supports your health is foundational for NDs.
This test assesses what foods might be stressing your body creating symptoms of overload such as inflammation, headaches, acne, mood swings, anxiety, allergies, frequent colds, fatigue, morning sluggishness, colic in babies (if you are breastfeeding) and of course digestive issues.
Common foods that come up high in the testing are dairy, gluten and eggs but I've seen garlic and sesame seeds and some fruits and vegetables come up also. It really is so individual.
* PREGNANT/BREAST-FEEDING? If you are pregnant or breastfeeding this test is extremely valuable for you and your growing baby for several reasons.
Eliminating problem foods will give you more energy and affect your mood but there's more as ingesting these foods set your baby up to have problems with these foods. How it works is the immune-mediated responses from incompatible foods can be passed on to baby in utero and through breast milk - so baby gets all the good immune protection (which we want!) but also your food sensitivities. You need all the energy you can get as a mom (!) and a healthy foundation digestive wise sets your child up for success on all levels from brain health to strong immunity.
