The levels of food intolerance and food allergy in the worlds population today is a a matter of great debate, but it appears to be on the increase and affects a high percentage. The food stuffs we eat are becoming more complex with us having wider diets and using pre-prepared or processed meals more, to fit our busy lifestyles. The high levels of ingredients, preservatives, colourings and flavour enhancers that a lot of food contains today can often have an effect on us. This can be from serious reactions to smaller side effects on our health - and these are not always bad - some can be good.

As a general rule we all have a good idea of the things that are good (eg green vegetables) and the things that are not so good (A fried breakfast). However we all are unique and it is useful to be able to take a closer look at the things we eat more critically.

Common food intolerances nowadays are with lactose (the natural sugar in dairy products), Gluten in wheat based products and yeast.

It is common for a physician or doctor to ask their patient to go on an exclusion diet (eg 'Lamb and Pear') where they cut out all their food stuffs down to a minimal diet of things least likely to cause an intolerance. Then by slowly re-introducing foodstuffs back into the diet any culprits can be identified when are used again. Also the patient may be asked to keep a diary of their diet that helps the qualified practitioner to assess their diet.

Lifestyle Toolbox can offer a far easier alternative without changing your life or lifestyle. You don't have to go on an exclusion diet. Using powerful computer algorithms it can analyse your details at a level of detail only possible with a computer. It will look at how many factors of how you felt on a daily basis and then analyse the possible causes of any fluctuations by looking at the frequency and levels of what you ate and did. By a simple process of elimination, not re-introduction, it can find that illusive culprit(s) substance(s) to which you are intolerant.
