Social media is awash with content about food intolerances and the
symptoms to look out for. But figuring out whether you actually
have one, and what’s triggering it, is surprisingly difficult. One
avenue people are gravitating towards is at-home testing. Madeleine
Finlay sits down with health and lifestyle journalist Rebecca Seal
to unpick the science behind these tests. Rebecca explains how they
purport to work, how accurate they actually are, and how we can all
investigate what we might be intolerant to, without breaking the
bank. Rebecca’s book Irritated: The Allergy Epidemic and What We
Can Do About It, is out now.. Help support our independent
