YORK, England, September 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

From Tots to Teens - How mums can beat food battles with intolerance awareness

This September, when your children head back to school, make sure their diet is the best it can be!

Your child's diet is hugely important to their development, but, with charity AllergyUK estimating that a shocking 45% of the UK suffer with food allergies or intolerances, it is vital that children are getting the nutrients they need from foods that will not cause the often disruptive symptoms of food intolerance.

The symptoms of food intolerance can be hugely diverse - from IBS, bloating, fatigue and lack of concentration, through to migraines and skin conditions such as eczema. For children with food intolerances, identifying their trigger foods can help them to settle and improve their school performance as well and improving more obvious physical symptoms. With reactions recorded to anything from wheat to lettuce even the most innocent seeming foods could be the source of a child's symptoms.

Identifying triggers can be a complicated process; for many people affected by the symptoms of food intolerance it is not a single food, but rather a combination of foods that set them off, and so a simple elimination diet may not uncover the whole picture - even identifying a few of these by elimination diet in exact combination would be a very complicated business, especially with young children! It is also very important to avoid cutting out important nutrition from your child's diet, so identifying triggers using a simple pin prick test such as YorkTest can offer a less hit and miss option to worried parents.

Christine Bailey, nutritional consultant and children's recipe book author, believes that identifying your child's intolerances can radically improve their health and wellbeing: 'With so many of us suffering with a wide range of food intolerance symptoms it's not surprising that many children are affected by the foods they eat too. Everything from painful skin conditions through to concentration and energy levels can be improved by simple dietary changes, meaning that you don't need to turn to the medicine cabinet so often. By tailoring their families diets mums don't even need to stop having the foods they love-treats as well as tasty, nutritious food are easy to produce, even for those mums who are pushed for time.'

To identify your family's triggers help is at hand from YorkTest, Europe's leading provider of food intolerance programs with over 30 years experience. YorkTest food intolerance tests can uncover potential food triggers, allowing people to quickly and easily modify their diets and making the process of dietary change far less daunting for busy mums.

Commenting on the difficulty many mums face in identifying food intolerances Dr. Gill Hart, food intolerance expert and biochemist at YorkTest Laboratories, said: 'Identifying trigger foods can be a complicated process; for manypeople affected by the symptoms of food intoleranceit is not a single food, but usually a combination of foods and drinks that cause a reaction, so the traditional approach of using an elimination diet to remove one food at a time is unlikely to uncover all the problem areas. With recent research showing that 60% of GPs are seeing a rise in food intolerances but do not feel knowledgeable enough to give their patients practical advice, taking a YorkTest can help people easily and clearly identify their food triggers.'

Find out your family's triggers-The YorkTest Food Intolerance Testing service is available as a two-stage process. The First Step is currently available at the special price of 9.99 (RRP: 20.00). Following the First Step, if your result is positive you can then progress to the comprehensive laboratory analysis and nutritional support for 245.
