Enterolab-like institute in Belgium?

Post by Brigitte »

Hi,

I am wondering if there is something like Enterolab in Belgium? If yes, any coverage by health insurance (RIZIV) ?

Any suggestion on allergy testing possibilities in Belgium are welcome.

Thanks!
Bibi

Hi Bibi,

According to the research reports that I have seen that rate the effectiveness of food sensitivity tests, there is no lab in Europe that offers reliable food sensitivity testing. But you can send samples to EnteroLab from virtually anywhere in the world. We have members who live in Spain and Hong Kong, for example, who successfully sent samples to EnteroLab.

The problem is that only a few insurance companies will pay for those tests. The list of insurance companies that will pay is slowly growing, but so far, most of us have had to pay for our tests out of our own pockets.

You're very welcome,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
