Are you struggling – without relief – from chronic irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fibromyalgia, or migraine? You may have undiagnosed food sensitivities. Advances in food sensitivity testing can now predict with greater than 90% accuracy food and/or chemical triggers that can be the cause of widespread, persistent pain and other symptoms.
In addition to IBS, fibromyalgia and migraines, food sensitivities can be involved in a wide range of other conditions including gastritis, reflux, esophagitis, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, sinusitis, interstitial cystitis, eczema, psoriasis, asthma, hypoglycemia, and more.
All of these ailments have inflammation in common. If a source of your inflammation is diet, removal of reactive foods and chemicals will help quell the adverse reactions that are making you feel unwell.
Thorough medical evaluations for chronic and persistent symptoms are always advised. However, if good medical workups fail to find a cause, yet your symptoms persist, you may benefit greatly by looking to diet as a missing piece of the puzzle.
A trained dietitian with expertise in the RIGHT testing and dietary management of food-sensitivity related disorders can help bridge the gap between what you eat and how you feel. You need to be working with the right person, and you need the right test. Only ONE test – Mediator Release Testing, or MRT - can claim better than 90% accuracy (http://wp.me/PvPaO-E).
MRT results are accompanied by the LEAP elimination diet for optimal outcomes for each individual. LEAP stands for Lifestyle, Eating And Performance as this protocol was originally successfully tested in athletes to improve pain, fatigue and athletic performance.
In Rhode Island and Massachusetts, MRT testing and diet management for food sensitivities is offered by Andrea Nero, registered and licensed dietitian certified in the MRT-LEAP Elimination Diet Protocol.
