| CDT | one of the most specific markers of heavy drinking in recent weeks |

Food intolerance test
The test looks at how your blood cells react to 176 common foods. You receive a list of suitable foods and foods to avoid, together with a doctor's dietary advice. Foods to avoid are left out for at least six weeks. They are then gradually reintroduced while you watch how you feel.
- A 3 ml blood sample is taken on weekday mornings, fasting. No coffee, tea or juice beforehand; water is fine.
- The test is not done during menstruation (3 days before to 5 days after) or during a course of antibiotics.
- Price €225, including the blood sample and a doctor's consultation.
The test is a tool for adjusting your diet. It does not replace food allergy tests or the diagnosis of coeliac disease or lactose intolerance.
