Food Intolerance Testing Perth
At Perth Nutrition & Natural Health Clinic, we understand how frustrating food intolerances can be.
Our Perth clinical nutritionist is here to help, using functional testing to identify which foods are causing issues. We provide comprehensive support to manage these intolerances and improve your overall wellbeing.
Unerstanding Food Intolerances & Allergies
Food intolerances can be a real puzzle. They're those sneaky reactions your body has to certain foods that can leave you feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and downright frustrated. But fear not! We're here to shed some light on this often misunderstood topic.
What is Food Intolerance?
Let's start with the basics. Food intolerance is like your body saying, "Hey, I'm not a huge fan of this particular food." It's not a full-blown allergic reaction but more of a subtle, nagging discomfort. This can happen because of enzyme deficiencies or sensitivities to certain food additives. Symptoms usually include bloating, gas, stomach pain, or even an unwelcome visit from your old friend, diarrhea. Unlike food allergies, which hit you like a ton of bricks, food intolerance symptoms can take their sweet time, sometimes up to a whopping 72 hours after you've eaten the offending food.
What is Food Allergy?
Now, let's talk about the big guns: food allergies. These are the reactions that make your immune system go into overdrive, like a superhero battling an arch-nemesis. When you have a food allergy, your body sees certain proteins in food as enemies and launches a full-scale attack. This can lead to symptoms ranging from mild (think itchy hives) to severe (like struggling to catch your breath). Unlike food intolerance, food allergy symptoms don't play games – they show up right after you've eaten the culprit.

GI Map Stool Testing Perth
How the microbiome affects the risk of
food allergy and intolerance symptoms.Â
​Perth Nutrition and Natural Health Clinic offers GI Map stool testing, one of the most comprehensive gut microbiome assessments available in Australia.
The GI Map goes beyond standard stool testing to provide a detailed picture of your gut health, immune function, and digestive capacity.
​
Unlike conventional testing, the GI Map identifies the specific organisms, imbalances, and inflammatory drivers behind your symptoms. The GI Map reports on:
-
Histamine-producing bacteria that trigger food sensitivities and skin reactions
-
Mast cell-activating microbes linked to allergy-type responses
-
Immune system markers including secretory IgA and anti-gliadin IgA to determine gluten sensitivity
-
Gut barrier integrity, inflammation and intestinal permeability
-
Pathogens including parasites, worms, and H. pylori with virulence factors.
​
Results are interpreted by Clinical Nutritionist Renae Cinanni in the context of your full health history, with a personalised treatment plan built directly around your findings.

GI Map testing is available in clinic in Perth and online across Australia. An initial consultation is required before ordering your test kit
