Food Intolerance Lab Test (240 items)

Food Intolerance Test - 240 Items

This Food Intolerance Test examines IgG4 antibodies related to 240 foods commonly linked to hypersensitivity reactions. Unlike immediate allergic reactions, food intolerance symptoms can appear hours or even days after consuming certain foods, making it difficult to identify the triggers without testing.

Understanding Food Intolerances

Food intolerances arise when the body has difficulty digesting certain foods, leading to digestive discomfort. Unlike food allergies, which involve the immune system, intolerances primarily affect digestion. Commonly problematic foods include milk, wheat, soy, eggs, and rice. Symptoms may vary in severity and timing, often appearing hours or days after consumption, making it challenging to pinpoint the cause without testing.

Symptoms of Food Intolerances

• Gastrointestinal Issues: Bloating, gas, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain.
• Neurological Symptoms: Headaches, brain fog, fatigue.
• Skin Reactions: Rashes, eczema, acne.
• Respiratory Problems: Congestion, sneezing, asthma-like symptoms.

At-Home Food Intolerance Test

The test is easy to perform at home. After collecting your sample, send it to our lab for analysis. You will receive your results digitally.

How the Test Works: The ELISA Method

We use the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method, a precise technique that detects and measures specific antibodies. This method ensures accurate results by focusing on the interaction between antibodies and antigens.

Test Preparation

For accurate results, ensure you have consumed the foods in the test within the last three months. If it’s been longer, the test may show reduced sensitivity.
