Chronic Inflammation:

The Root Cause of Most Chronic Disease

What if many of today’s most common chronic conditions were not separate issues - but different expressions of the same underlying problem?

At Fitzwilliam Food Test, we’re bringing attention to a powerful insight:
most chronic disease is rooted in one single factor — chronic inflammation.

Understanding Chronic Inflammation

Inflammation is a natural and necessary process in the body. It helps us heal and defend against infection and then shuts down. A more sinister type of inflammation referred to as “Low-grade Inflammation”, fails to shut down. It remains permanently switched on. This type quietly damages tissues over time and contributes to long-term illness.

Many familiar conditions share a common clue in their name—they end in “-itis.”

What Does “Itis” Mean?

The suffix “-itis” literally means inflammation.

Examples include:

Arthritis
Gastritis
Dermatitis
Colitis
Myocarditis
Cystitis
Diverticulitis
Sinusitis
Bronchitis

These are all inflammatory conditions. The name of each condition simply identifies where the inflammation is occurring, not necessarily why it’s happening.

Are We Missing the Bigger Picture?

Instead of focusing solely on the condition itself, it’s worth asking a more important question:

What is driving this inflammation in the first place?

By shifting the focus to the root cause, we can begin to address multiple symptoms and conditions more effectively.

The real goal is not just to manage disease—but to:

Turn down this chronic, low-grade inflammation
And ideally, switch off completely.

A Proven Approach to Reducing Inflammation

For over 30 years, Fitzwilliam Food Test has pioneered a science-based approach to identifying and resolving chronic inflammation.

Step 1: Measure this Inflammation

We begin with a highly sensitive, CE-marked, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein test.

This test measures your levels of low-grade inflammation in your body.

Step 2: Identify Food Triggers

One of the most overlooked drivers of chronic inflammation is food.

Undigested or poorly digested foods can trigger immune responses that lead to ongoing, low-grade inflammation.

We use a CE-marked antibody test to measure how your immune system reacts to various foods.

Foods that trigger a strong immune system antibody response, in turn trigger several inflammatory mechanisms in the body.

Step 3: Personalised Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition

Your test results are then used to guide your tailored dietary choices. This result is a personalised, non-inflammatory diet designed specifically for your body.

Take Control of Chronic Inflammation

Chronic inflammation doesn’t have to control your health.

With the right testing, insights, and personalised guidance, it’s possible to:

✔ Identify the triggers

✔ Reduce inflammation naturally

✔ Restore balance in the body

200 Food Sensitivity Test

Commonly referred to as Food Test 200. This test checks your IgG antibody levels to 200 of the most common foods typically associated with food intolerance. This information can be used to guide your food elimination diet.

*Please note: The “Low Grade Inflammation Test” comes FREE of charge with the 200 test.
