What is a food intolerance?
A food intolerance or sensitivity is generally a slower, dose-related reaction to a food or food chemical. Unlike an immediate allergic reaction, the effects can build up over time and may be associated with a wide range of everyday symptoms — which is part of what makes intolerances so difficult to pin down on your own.
A food intolerance consultation is designed to help you stop guessing. By taking a careful personal and family history alongside a non-invasive assessment, we aim to build a clearer picture of the foods that may be worth reviewing for you.
Food intolerance vs food allergy
They are often confused, but they are not the same thing. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right kind of help.
Food allergy
An immune (IgE-mediated) reaction that can be immediate and, in some cases, serious. Serious allergies are a medical matter — if you suspect one, please see your GP or medical specialist. This is not what our service assesses.
Food intolerance & sensitivity
Generally a slower, dose-related reaction that may contribute to ongoing symptoms such as bloating, reflux, headaches or fatigue. This is what our Gold Coast consultation is designed to explore — carefully and without needles.
Non-invasive assessment, all within your consultation
Our in-clinic service at Robina includes a non-invasive, computer-controlled analysis used as part of the consultation to help assess possible food intolerances and sensitivities. It is a comfortable, straightforward process — with your results reviewed together before you leave.
No needles, no blood
No needles are required and no blood collection is needed.
No third-party lab
Nothing is sent away to an external laboratory — everything happens with you.
Done in your consultation
The assessment is performed during the consultation, not in a separate visit.
Results reviewed with you
Your results are explained and discussed with you in plain language.
Easy-to-understand report
You receive a clear food intolerance report you can actually use.
Built into your program
Results are incorporated into your personalised nutritional program.

Why people investigate food intolerance
People across the Gold Coast come to us with a wide range of persistent symptoms. These may be associated with, or can sometimes be influenced by, food triggers and may warrant investigation:
We use careful wording for a reason: food intolerance is one piece of the puzzle, and a consultation helps work out how much of a role it may be playing for you.
Bloating, IBS, reflux & skin
These are some of the most common reasons Gold Coast clients book a food intolerance consultation. Food is not always the whole story — but for many people it is a piece worth investigating.
Bloating, gas & wind
Persistent bloating and excess wind are among the most common complaints we see. Bloating may be associated with certain foods in some people, and pinpointing possible triggers can be an important step towards feeling comfortable again after meals. A consultation looks at what you eat, your history and your symptoms together — rather than guessing one food at a time.
IBS-type symptoms
IBS-type symptoms — cramping, urgency, and alternating diarrhoea or constipation — can sometimes be influenced by particular foods. Food intolerance is not the only factor in IBS, but identifying and managing potential triggers may warrant investigation as part of a broader approach to your gut health.
Reflux & LPR
Reflux and LPR-type (silent reflux) symptoms can sometimes be influenced by diet and specific food triggers. A food intolerance consultation may help identify foods worth reviewing. For dedicated reflux support, you may also like to visit our sister service, The Reflux Clinic.
Skin problems
Skin symptoms such as eczema, dermatitis and recurring hives can sometimes be associated with food triggers in some people. A food intolerance consultation may help identify foods worth reviewing. For dedicated skin support, you may also like to visit our sister service, The Rash Clinic.
Not sure whether your symptoms could be food-related?
Ask Ava a general question about bloating, IBS, reflux or skin symptoms — anytime, right here on this page.
Stop guessing what you can eat
Cutting out foods at random is stressful and rarely gives you clear answers. A food intolerance consultation is designed to replace the guesswork with a considered, personalised picture — so you know where to focus. A wide range of everyday foods and natural food chemicals can be considered:
- Dairy & lactose-containing foods
- Wheat, gluten & other grains
- Egg
- Yeast & fermented foods
- Common fruits & vegetables
- Nuts, seeds & legumes
- Additives, preservatives & colourings
- Salicylates, amines & other natural food chemicals
- Everyday drinks, condiments & sweeteners
