Lorisian 150 plus IBS Support Test

Lorisian 150 Plus IBS Support tests your reactions to 156 food ingredients.

A few drops of blood are taken using a simple finger prick blood collection wick system. Because the finger prick system is so easy to use, the sample can be taken in the comfort of your own home.

The sample is then posted back to Lorisian’s laboratory (in a pre-paid envelope) before being analysed for IgG antibody reactions to 156 food and drink ingredients. Clear colour coded test results and a support pack are then delivered back to you to outline your personal food and drink intolerances*. Your pack includes a comprehensive guidebook and 12-week food planner.

It also includes a low FODMAP diet plan suitable for IBS sufferers. Following a low FODMAP diet has been shown to be effective in treating IBS symptoms for approximately 70% of those who implement it.

The next step is to receive further guidance on how to eliminate your trigger foods and optimise your diet. Included in the cost of your test is a 30-minute telephone consultation with a BANT^ registered nutritional therapist. They will help you to find nutritious alternatives to your trigger foods and answer any questions you may have on the elimination diet.

^BANT stands for the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine
