Description
Grapefruit causes rapid development of food intolerance symptoms (already 1-3 days after consumption).
This test is used to diagnose food intolerance to grapefruit. Food intolerance occurs more frequently compared to food allergy and proceeds as allergic reactions involving specific immunoglobulins G (IgG-mediated). In this case, hidden food allergy develops – delayed-type allergy, which is more dangerous because external clinical manifestations of the disease will develop slowly (up to several days), and often they may not be present at all for a long time. Slowly progressing pathological processes in the body's organs and tissues can often lead to chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory, nervous systems, skin, and can also have a negative impact on the mental sphere (depression, hyper-excitability in children).
Indications for appointment:
1. Diagnosis of food intolerance to this product
2. Differential diagnosis of food allergy and food intolerance
3. Diagnosis of digestive system diseases (allergic stomatitis, gastritis, gastroenteritis, enteritis, colitis)
4. Diagnosis of respiratory diseases (allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma)
5. Diagnosis of skin diseases (atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria, Quincke's edema)
6. Diagnosis of nervous system diseases (depression, frequent migraines, hyper-excitability in children)
7. Assessment of the degree of organism sensitization after treatment
