Our In-Clinic Food Intolerance Test

Yes — we perform a test. A non-invasive, computer-controlled in-clinic analysis that helps identify the foods and environmental factors that may be associated with your symptoms.

Yes — the clinic performs a food intolerance test. During your consultation we carry out a non-invasive, computer-controlled in-clinic analysis using the MSA-Pro system to help identify the foods and environmental factors that may be associated with your symptoms.

It is a gentle, comfortable process — there are no needles, no blood collection and no waiting on an expensive third-party laboratory. The analysis is performed during your appointment, your results are discussed with you straight away, and every result is interpreted by an experienced practitioner within the context of your full health picture.

Non-invasive & needle-free

A calm, comfortable assessment with no needles and no blood collection.

Suitable for all ages

Gentle enough for children and adults alike, with shorter sessions for little ones.

Computer-controlled analysis

A modern, computer-guided in-clinic process performed during your consultation.

Fast results, discussed with you

Your results are ready quickly and reviewed together at your appointment — no long lab waits.

What is the MSA-Pro?

The MSA-Pro is the computer-controlled system we use in the clinic to carry out your food intolerance analysis. It is a non-invasive, needle-free process suitable for clients of all ages, including young children. Rather than relying on invasive procedures or costly external laboratories, the analysis is completed right here during your consultation so that we can talk through what it means together, on the day.

How the test is performed

Your analysis is carried out alongside a detailed health history review. The MSA-Pro produces a clear set of results which Douglas interprets in light of your unique symptoms, medical history, diet and lifestyle. You are never handed a printout and sent on your way — the findings are explained to you in plain language during your appointment.

Printed results

Your results can be printed in a clear, easy-to-read format to take home and refer back to.

Uploaded to your portal

Results are added to your secure patient portal, where they power your personalised recipes, safe food lists and shopping lists.

Your results come to life in the patient portal

Once your results are uploaded to your secure patient portal, the portal turns them into practical, at-home support built around your individual analysis:

  • Personalised safe food recipes generated around your own results — not a generic diet sheet
  • A personalised safe food list showing the foods best suited to you
  • A real-world shopping list of everyday foods you can actually buy

Follow-up testing & progress

Many people find their reactions settle over time. At a follow-up you may choose to have the analysis repeated. Your new results are uploaded to the portal, which compares your original and latest analysis alongside your original symptoms and the information in your Patient Recovery Form to show a real-world picture of your progress. This progress comparison is based on your in-clinic analysis and your own reported recovery information — it is not a medical diagnosis.

Already have blood tests? Upload them for a nutritional review

You are welcome to upload existing blood test results and other health documents to your portal. From a nutritional perspective, the portal can help highlight results that fall outside the usual reference range, areas that may warrant nutritional consideration, patterns worth discussing, and changes between earlier and more recent bloods. This is a nutritional review to support your consultation — it is not a medical diagnosis or treatment, and we always encourage you to keep working with your GP.

Why practitioner interpretation matters

The MSA-Pro provides the analysis — but results always require professional interpretation. Douglas Mizzi’s experience of more than 65,000 consultations since 1990 means your results are carefully considered within the context of your complete health picture. No machine replaces clinical judgement, symptom analysis and an understanding of how food triggers interact with your body.

This assessment helps identify foods and environmental factors that may be associated with your symptoms; it is not a medical diagnostic test and does not replace medical care. For severe allergic reactions, urgent symptoms or medical emergencies, seek immediate medical advice.
