Certain conditions can be associated with food allergies and these include skin conditions, fatigue, asthma, gut issues, mood disorders, hives, diarrhea and behaviour problems (ADD/ADHD).

    The Neurotransmitter-Advanced Profile: a urine test assessing a broad panel of neurotransmitters and unique to you.
