nutrition london #01 Welcome to the Allergy and Nutrition Centre

This is one of the few British websites offering information and advice to sufferers from all those symptoms caused by allergies, food intolerances, Candida or other yeast infections. We specialise in using the very latest advances in allergy testing and in nutritional medicine to help people suffering from long-standing problems which are hard to explain.

We see patients in the UK in our clinics in Oxford, London and Sussex, but can also help people living elsewhere by means of postal/telephone/email consultations once they have filled in the three questionnaires that we use.

If you are seeking information on IBS, Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, or intestinal parasites please visit the website of our sister organisation, the IBS and Gut Disorder Centre at www.ibs-solutions.co.uk. The clinic also has branches in Oxford and London.

If you want details on arthritis treatment, please visit www.arthritis-diet.co.uk.

Over the years we have been able to help patients with many chronic conditions and symptoms to which they have not been able to find an answer from their GP. A major reason for this is that many of these symptoms are caused either by Candida and other yeast infections or by hidden food intolerances, which can be very subtle and hard to detect.

These include eczema, asthma, acne, psoriasis, IBS, migraine, fatigue, PMT, arthritis, joint pains and stiffness, sinus problems and all those symptoms often present in someone who is not quite well; variability of bowel function, itching, mental confusion and inability to think clearly, etc. There are also proven links with Ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis and depression.

In addition to improving our patients’ symptoms, we also try and give them a lifelong understanding as to what has caused their health problems in the first place and what to do to prevent them from returning.

Losing Weight: Nutritional Therapy is also the only healthy way to sustained - and lasting - weight loss. This is because it looks at not just food intake and exercise, but at glucose intolerance, food intolerances, hormonal imbalances and syndrome X - all of which contribute to someone's inability to lose weight.

The common ailments listed below are also particularly amenable to treatment by Nutritional Medicine:

Male Problems:
  • Acne
  • Overweight
  • Reduced virility
  • Declining testosterone
  • Prostate problems

    Female Problems:
  • Candida & other yeast infections like Geotrichum
  • Vaginitis
  • PMT and other problems relating to the menstrual cycle
  • Mood swings, depression and other food and mood symptoms
  • Eating Disorders

    Children's Health:
  • Childhood eczema
  • Hyperactivity
  • ADHD
  • Recurrent ear infections

    A practitioner experienced in nutrition and in allergy and environmental medicine can often pinpoint exactly what is going on and treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.

    Please feel free to take a look through the articles listed below. All have been published in national magazines and contain case studies from the Allergy and Nutrition Centre in London and Oxford.

    Nutritional medicine is the medicine of the future.

I think you will be very pleasantly surprised by the improvement you get.
