Could your child have health issues related to a food sensitivity?

1Symptoms of Food Sensitivities

Have you been searching for answers to your child’s health, learning or behaviour challenges but are frustrated by a lack of helpful solutions?

Almost any and every part of the body can be affected by food sensitivities and the impact on the lives of children and their family may be overwhelming.Symptoms can morph and change as the child grows and as one symptom disappears; it is replaced by something else. The underlying cause, however, is still the original offending food. The Evans Food Sensitivity Assessment Tool (EFSAT) contains a check list that enables you to determine if food is likely at the root of your child’s difficulties and provides an accurate method to determine the food that is the culprit.

2Identifying Trigger Foods

Even if you do believe your child’s symptoms may be related to food, how do you ever figure out what the culprit might be?

It is common for parents to seek the help of a wide range of health care practitioners in an effort to improve their child’s symptoms. Whether the diagnostic tools these doctors use are elimination diets or other types of blood or skin allergy tests, the results are very often inaccurate or inconclusive. Over 80% of the reactions that children and adults have to a food are a food intolerance and not a food allergy. While there are accurate skin and blood tests for true food allergies, there are no accurate tests to identify food intolerances. Food intolerances are often misdiagnosed or missed all together because of this. The Evans Food Sensitivity Assessment Tool (EFSAT) is the only accurate and parent friendly way to identify the trigger food responsible for a child’s symptoms. The removal of this food results in a quick improvement of their symptoms and can be successfully implemented in the midst of the life of a busy family.

3Successful Implementation

What if you know that a change in your child’s diet would improve their quality of life but you just can’t find the motivation to do it?

Change is difficult for all of us and resistance to change is normal. Unless we are highly motivated by a reason that is significant and important to us, we rarely change. Sometimes our hectic lifestyle or other stresses make the idea of taking on a change in diet seem overwhelming.  There is a section of the Evans Food Sensitivity Assessment Tool that will help you identify the stresses in your life and that of your child that may result in some resistance to change.  It will also help you assess your motivation and anticipate situations that you may find difficult. By proactively planning ahead, sustainable change becomes much easier.
