Is your bloated stomach related to what you are consuming? | Test Your Intolerance | Blog

Summer is here and our thoughts immediately turn to allergies, with headaches and a bloated stomach being caused by hay fever and other allergies. But are your symptoms purely to do with allergies, or are there other factors at play? Your symptoms may be caused by food intolerance. This could be one of the foods you are constantly eating, and you can find out if it is food intolerance by ordering an intolerance test. So, think about those foods that you eat, especially if you are often having a BBQ.

So, don’t simply brush that runny nose to one side and dismiss it as an allergy, it could be a food intolerance!

Make sure you can eat your favourite foods

Think back to those foods that you absolutely love, how often do you eat them during summer time? Do they cause you to experience a bloated stomach, a headache, or a runny nose every time you eat them? You may have developed these because you have eaten too much of that certain item. Your bloated stomach or a headache may appear almost every time you eat these foods. Be aware though, that intolerance symptoms may not appear immediately after you eat these foods, but can appear up to 72 hours later.
