Who Should Take the Food Sensitivity Test?

Do you ever feel like you may have certain symptoms related to foods, such as headaches, stomach pain, or diarrhea? Do you feel you may want to try eliminating possible triggers, but you are not sure where to start?

​

Our Food Sensitivity Test measures your body’s IgG immune response to 96 common foods.

​

A temporary elimination diet is a way to help you pinpoint foods that may be causing your symptoms. This test is not the same as a food allergy test. Food allergies are mediated by IgE antibodies, and symptoms for food allergies typically occur within minutes to hours of exposure. These symptoms are often severe and potentially life-threatening. Food sensitivities, on the other hand, are often marked by a low and slow onset, and involve an entirely different antibody—IgG. In addition, this test does not test for lactose intolerance, IBS, or celiac disease.

​

Your body may have an immune response to foods you eat, which may manifest as physical symptoms. Some of our customers take the Food Sensitivity Test because they experience symptoms like:

•  Bloating

• Headaches

• Indigestion

• Gastrointestinal (GI) distress

• Stomach or abdominal pain 

If you are looking to add a potentially ‘problematic’ food back into your diet to see if you’re still reactive to it on your test results, it’s recommended to consume that food for about 4-6 weeks prior to testing.
