There are serious health risks associated with food intolerance. Don't ignore your symptoms. Chronic symptoms (those you get every day or every week) can develop into chronic disease.
You can avoid long-term health risks by identifying your food intolerance with the Healing Program.
How do you find out if you have food intolerance? Narrow the possibilities by comparing your symptoms in the Symptoms Matrix (must register first).
