Why take a Food Intolerance Test?
More and more of us suffer from food intolerance, it does not matter which particular diet you follow, you could still suffer from a food intolerance which can cause us various symptoms which mean that we are not reaching our potential.
Symptoms of Food Intolerance
Often patients report multiple symptoms such as gut pain with headaches and skin rash. Common symptoms include:
Anxiety (acute or chronic)
Attention Deficit Disorder
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Headaches
Insomnia
Migraine
Water retention
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Asthma
Bloating
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Depression
Gastritis
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Itchy skin
Weight control problems
Hyperactivity Disorder
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Symptoms of these types of food intolerance are often delayed for many hours or even days and for this reason it is often hard to identify the problem foods. The detection of food-specific IgG antibodies through the use of immunoassays can be helpful in the management of these patients through the design of elimination diets based on food IgG antibody results.

How Your Sample Is Tested at The Lab
Once your finger prick blood sample is provided, the finger prick blood sample is diluted and dispensed onto printed microarrays. Food IgG antibodies, if present, bind to the food extracts. The bound food IgG antibodies are subsequently detected through the use of other immunoassay reagents which generate a blue colour in the presence of the food IgG antibodies. The density of this blue colour is measured using a high resolution scanner.
The results for the Foods You Can herbs and spices food intolerance test are generated, then they are calibrated against the standards using food intolerance reporting software to give quantitative results. This software then produces a tailor-made print out of the final food IgG antibody result for each food on the requested food panel.
