Welcome to Fitzwilliam Food Test Clinic
​
Ireland's
Premier Food Sensitivity
Testing Clinic
Fitzwilliam Food Test Clinic is an Irish company and has more than 35 years of clinical experience in treating conditions such as bloating, reflux, IBS and all manner of inflammatory conditions. Treating the root cause, as opposed to just treating symptoms, is our primary focus.
​
Diet and especially undigested food (food sensitivity) is often at the root of such problems. Such foods create toxins within the gut and slowly poison the system. In turn, this triggers an ongoing, chronic inflammatory response. This gut poisoning is at the root of so many of our ill-health issues.
​
Bloating is a key symptom of food intolerance. Avail of the opportunity to speak in person with our clinic practitioner who will explain how this test may assist you.
How much does a Test Cost and what does it include?
The 93 food test & consultation costs €275 while the 200 food test (including inflammation test & consultation) costs €360. Both costs include the initial consultation, the chosen test and also a post-test results review consultation where we advise on how best to implement the necessary dietary changes. This can be done face to face in the clinic or via a phone consultation.
Please note that both VHI and Irish Life Health provide cover for these tests – subject to your level of cover on your policy.

" My experience with Martin and the food intolerance testing was so helpful. I gained personalised knowledge that empowered me to take back control over my gut health and overall wellbeing. In a world of generalised and unsolicited dietary information, this is a powerful tool and I highly recommend it "
" I used to be scared to go out for dinner because I would spend half the night looking for the nearest toilet and feeling ill. My stomach was so bloated I looked like I was 8 months pregnant. I felt like I had stones inside me but a change of diet has changed my life. "

" It has only been a couple of weeks since my food intolerance results and the improvement has been life changing. After being in constant pain for years I am so much healthier and happier since cutting out my intolerance foods "

FAQs
Q: How long do test results take?
A: Results are available within two weeks
Q: Are tests covered by medical insurance?
A: Medical insurance cover through VHI and Irish Life Health is available for this test – subject to the level of cover provided on your policy.
Q: Do we test children?
A: Yes, childhood conditions respond very successfully to this test. However, children under 16yrs require a GP referral. This is normally not an issue as GP’s are increasingly supportive of this test provided by Fitzwilliam Food Test Clinic.
Q: What is the difference between Food Intolerance and Food Sensitivity?
A: Our food sensitivity test measures your immune systems antibody response to food that you have eaten. Our test is CE certified to do this. A significantly elevated antibody response to any food indicates a loss of “tolerance” for that food. The science is very clear on this – “tolerance is the norm”.
A food intolerance test on the other hand, could include tests that are not CE certified antibody tests. We use the term intermittently because food intolerance it is what people search for when trying to contact our services.
