Food Intolerance & Sensitivity Assessment
Food Intolerance & Sensitivity Assessment
Food related symptoms do not automatically mean food allergy. Food Intolerance & Sensitivity Assessment at Yoyime Wellness Clinic in Dubai provides a structured evaluation of digestive symptoms that appear consistently after particular foods or ingredients. Our clinician reviews symptom timing, portion size, dietary patterns, medicines and gastrointestinal history. Recognised conditions such as lactose malabsorption may be investigated with validated breath testing, while broad food IgG panels are avoided because they do not reliably diagnose food intolerance.
Benefits of Food Intolerance & Sensitivity Assessment
Identifies Reproducible Triggers
Reduces Unnecessary Restriction
Guides Targeted Investigation
Recommended for Patients With
Meal Related Bloating
Recurrent Digestive Reactions
Unclear Food Triggers
Step-By-Step Procedure - Food Intolerance & Sensitivity Assessment
Symptom History
Discuss digestive symptoms, suspected foods, timing, portions and frequency of reactions.
Diet Review
Our clinician reviews current eating patterns and foods already being restricted.
Allergy Screening
Symptoms suggesting true food allergy are identified and redirected appropriately.
Digestive Assessment
Possible carbohydrate malabsorption, gastrointestinal disorders and other causes are considered.
Targeted Testing
Validated tests are selected when a specific intolerance or digestive condition is suspected.
Structured Dietary Trial
A focused short term dietary adjustment may be considered when clinically appropriate.
Reintroduction Review
Foods may be systematically reintroduced to assess reproducibility and individual tolerance.
Personalised Guidance
A practical diet and further investigation plan is created while protecting nutritional adequacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Food Intolerance & Sensitivity Assessment
Yoyime's service evaluates recurring symptoms associated with particular foods while distinguishing non-allergic intolerance from food allergy and other gastrointestinal conditions.
Food intolerance generally refers to non-allergic reactions in which a food or food component is poorly digested or triggers symptoms without the immune mechanism responsible for classic food allergy.
Symptoms commonly include bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort and diarrhoea, although the pattern depends on the food and underlying mechanism.
Yes. Hydrogen breath testing can assess lactose malabsorption, with symptoms recorded during testing to determine whether malabsorption is associated with intolerance.
Yes. In appropriate patients, hydrogen and methane breath testing may be considered for carbohydrate malabsorption such as fructose, using suitable preparation and interpretation.
Food specific IgG panels are not recommended for diagnosing food intolerance or sensitivity because IgG frequently reflects normal exposure and tolerance rather than disease.
No. Coeliac disease is an immune-mediated condition that requires appropriate diagnostic testing. Patients should avoid starting a gluten-free diet before completing coeliac disease testing, as removing gluten beforehand can affect the accuracy of the results.
No. Food allergy evaluation focuses on immune mediated reactions and potential allergy risk. This service investigates non-allergic and primarily digestive food responses.
Not necessarily. Tolerance can be dose dependent, particularly with some food intolerances. The aim is to identify individual tolerance while avoiding unnecessarily restrictive diets.
Cost depends on consultation, dietary assessment and any targeted breath or laboratory testing recommended.
