It has been estimated that as many as 80% of western people suffer from some type of food allergy. Food allergy is implicated in a wide spectrum of disorders, especially of the skin, respiratory tract and Gastro-intestinal tract. In most cases these allergic reactions are of the delayed type, making them difficult to detect, while they are typically not noticed by the patient until several hours or days after ingestion of a particular food. To determine these food allergies by the elimination and reintroduction of potentially offending foods can be a very lengthy and difficult proces.
