What influences intolerances?

  • Eating habits

    • Hasty eating, lots of sugar, salt and saturated fats, and monotonous diets can compromise the intestinal barrier and increase the risk of intolerances.
    • A balanced, plant-based diet and conscious eating support intestinal health and a balanced intestinal flora.
  • Stress

    • When stressed, the body releases more stress hormones, which affects digestion and can lead to nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
    • Relaxation, enough sleep and a balanced diet can alleviate stress reactions.
  • Antibiotics

    • Frequent antibiotic use can eliminate both harmful and beneficial gut bacteria, affecting gut flora and digestion.
    • High-fiber diets and probiotics can strengthen the intestinal flora after antibiotic treatment.
  • Environmental influences

    • Pesticides, processed foods and additives can increase intestinal permeability, allowing contaminants to enter the blood.
    • Eating unprocessed, seasonal and organic foods can reduce exposure to pesticides and additives.
  • Pre-existing conditions

    • In addition to genetic enzyme defects, pancreatic diseases, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, infections or bacterial colonization can trigger intolerances.
    • Gastrointestinal complaints should be examined and diagnosed by a doctor.

Frequently asked questions

      Questions about the intolerance test

    • What is an intolerance?

      In the case of an intolerance, the body is unable to absorb or process certain substances. This leads to a disruption in the metabolic process. Intolerances are particularly common in the context of food intolerance. In this case, the necessary enzymes to digest the substance are usually missing in the intestine.

    • What is the difference between an allergy and an intolerance?

      Allergies and intolerances are two different forms of hypersensitivity reactions of the body to certain substances. Our intolerance test does not test for allergies.

      An allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to a specific antigen. This results in the production of specific antibodies (IgE) against the antigen. This leads to an inflammatory reaction in the body. Typical symptoms of an allergy include itching, skin rashes, shortness of breath, dizziness or even anaphylactic shock.

      An intolerance is a non-immunological reaction to a substance that can be triggered by various mechanisms. One possible cause can be an enzyme deficiency. This means that the body cannot digest certain substances properly. This creates metabolic products that can lead to symptoms in the body. Typical symptoms of an intolerance include stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea or flatulence.

      In short, the difference between an allergy and an intolerance lies in the way in which the hypersensitivity is triggered. An allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to an antigen, while an intolerance is a non-immunological reaction to a substance.

    • How do you find out if you have a food intolerance?

      Our diet has a major impact on our well-being, our mood and our quality of life. If you often suffer from the following symptoms, a Medicross intolerance test may be useful.

      The most common physical symptoms include: – Loss of appetite – Fatigue – Headaches – Loss of libido – Diarrhea – Bloating – Stomach pain – Weight loss – Skin, nail and hair problems

      The most common psychological symptoms include: – Depression – Mood swings – Aggression – Anxiety – Insecurity

      With our tests you can check which foods or substances your body is currently intolerant to. This will help you to find a suitable nutritional strategy for you. We get to the bottom of your symptoms and test you for up to 650 possible intolerances.

    • What does an intolerance test cost?

      You can find the prices and all information about our tests in our online shop. Here we also inform you about current offers.

    • What can an intolerance test do and what not?

      With our intolerance test you can find out if you suffer from a possible intolerance. Symptoms of allergy and intolerance are often similar. Therefore, intolerances are often confused with allergies. Please note that you will not be tested for allergies in this test. Therefore, the test is not intended to diagnose disease and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or medical treatment by a physician. If you are suffering from severe pain or discomfort, please seek medical attention immediately.

      Questions about our tests

    • How does the Medicross ordering process work?

      You can order our tests quickly and easily in our online shop. We will then send you the submission form by email. All we need from you is a strand of hair. You send this together with the submission form by post directly to our laboratory. Your strand of hair will be analyzed there and you will receive a detailed result by email.

    • What are the types of tests?

      We currently offer tests for micronutrients and intolerances. Both tests are also available for pets.

    • What is the difference between a blood analysis at the doctor and our hair tests?

      Our tests are based on complementary medicine. They determine your nutritional needs and test you for possible intolerances. Blood tests, on the other hand, examine the presence of certain parameters in the blood (vitamins, minerals, proteins or antibodies) and thus describe the current supply status or the occurrence of an allergic reaction. In contrast to a blood test, our procedure does not allow individual values to be examined in isolation.

    • What does complementary medicine mean?

      Our tests are based on complementary medicine. They will determine your nutritional needs and test you for any intolerances. Blood analyses, on the other hand, examine the presence of certain parameters in the blood (vitamins, minerals, proteins or antibodies) and thus describe the current state of supply or the occurrence of an allergic reaction. In contrast to a blood analysis, our procedure does not allow us to examine individual values in isolation.   What does complementary medicine mean?   The term complementary medicine covers a range of medical therapies and diagnostic methods that are not part of conventional medicine. They are often used as a supplement to conventional medicine without replacing it.   Complementary and alternative medicine is not always recognized by the scientific community. One of the most common reasons why people use complementary medicine is the desire for holistic diagnostics. Many now feel the need to combine different medical methods and approaches in order to improve their health and well-being holistically.   Complementary medicine includes, for example, natural healing methods such as herbal medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture, as well as various forms of manual therapy such as chiropractic and osteopathy. Alternative diagnostic methods such as iris diagnosis or kinesiology can also be counted as complementary medicine. Although there are many people who benefit from these approaches and see them as a useful addition to conventional medicine, their effectiveness is still often questioned by conventional medicine.

    • What will my Medicross self-test result look like?

      Your result is presented in a detailed and self-explanatory manner and is designed so that all parameters are given as a percentage value. This means that the higher the value, the higher your need for this micronutrient.
