Food Intolerance is often associated with small intestine health. Within the small intestine you will get the majority of digestion and absorption for the food you eat. During digestion and absorption your body may have different reactions which may result in many forms of food intolerance and other conditions. We take a comprehensive approach to food intolerance and small intestine health. Our physicians will evaluate your eating habits and diagnose any small intestine conditions to determine what may be causing your health problems.
