FAST Self-Assessment

Updated: September 2020

Do you:

Overthink food and symptoms?
Feel terrified about eating certain foods (without a medical diagnosis)?
Feel scared that your symptoms are going to get worse when you "cheat" on your restricted diet?
Experience symptoms when you are near or see a picture of your triggers?
Participate in online support groups that discuss food sensitivities or that have rigid views on nutrition?
Avoid getting together with friends because of your dietary restrictions?
Read articles or watch videos about the dangers of common foods?
Assume that most of your symptoms are food-related?
Limit your diet based on restriction lists (e.g. low histamine, low salicylate, etc.) or food sensitivity testing?
Work with health care professionals that suggest or reinforce extreme dietary restrictions?

If you answered “yes” to more than two questions, you may be stuck in the Food Avoidance & Sensitivity Trap (FAST)? Over time, this vicious cycle can create conditioned food hypersensitivity.

Fortunately, you can minimize your conditioned food hypersensitivities and end your restricted diet struggles. The FAST Freedom Blog has expert advice and guidance to get you started.

The FAST Freedom Program will help you break free from the Food Avoidance & Sensitivity Trap. Our registered dietitians will support you through our unique five-phase plan with simple, practical strategies. Finally, there is a way to make peace with food and expand your diet!
