Is this test suitable for children?

Yes, the Food Intolerance test is suitable for children with a minimum age limit of 2 years. However, it's best to consult your pediatrician before testing children under 5 years.

Is fasting required for this test?

No, fasting is not required for this test. You can eat normally before the sample collection.

Are both the food intolerance and food allergy tests the same?

No, the food Intolerance test detects IgG reactions (intolerances), while food allergy tests detect IgE reactions (immediate allergies). If you have a classical IgE allergy to food, this will not be reflected in your result. Such food must be avoided as a priority. If you have a food allergy, it is important to continue avoiding that food, regardless of the test results obtained. This advice also applies if you have been diagnosed with Coeliac disease or any other food-related condition, such as lactose intolerance.

Will avoiding a food affect my test result?

Yes. If a food has been avoided for more than 3 months, it is likely that IgG antibody levels will be insufficient to be detected by the test and may give a NORMAL result. To test intolerance to a certain food, it should be included in the daily diet, or at least every other day, for 4-6 weeks before testing. However, if the food concerned is known to cause extreme symptoms or discomfort, do not reintroduce it.

What if I don't experience any improvement after dietary changes?

If symptoms do not improve after 2-3 months despite eliminating ELEVATED foods, it might indicate that IgG-mediated food intolerance is not the sole cause of your symptoms. Other factors like enzyme deficiencies, chemical insensitivity, lactose intolerance, histamine intolerance, inadequate digestion, dysbiosis, intestinal infections, alcohol consumption, excess exercise, and effects of drugs or medications may be other causes. These will not be diagnosed by this test. Hence, it is recommended to seek professional advice from a healthcare professional or nutritionist before implementing any changes in your diet.

Why might I react to a food I've never eaten?

It is occasionally observed that patients react to foods that they are convinced they have never eaten. This is not attributable to a false positive result, but instead a 'cross-reaction' with another food. Some foods contain identical antigens (food proteins), even though they are not related to each other and/or do not belong to the same food group. These identical food proteins will be detected by the same antibody, thus producing an ELEVATED result.

Do I need to visit a nutritionist after getting my results?

Once you have received the FoodPrint® test results, it is advisable to consult a nutritionist registered with the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy, who can help advise on dietary changes and provide a supplement programme. They may also offer support and encouragement with regular progress checks, as it can be quite a daunting task to persevere with a new diet on your o wn.

Do I need a re-test after a few months?

Most people do not need to have a re-test if symptoms have improved and you have successfully reintroduced 'problem' foods. However, if you would like to take another test, we advise a period of 6 months between tests. Take control of your health. Identify your food sensitivities and embark on a personalized dietary journey towards improved digestion, increased energy, and overall wellness. Book Your Food Intolerance Profile Today!

Unlock Better Health with a Food Intolerance Test

If you struggle with unexplained bloating, headaches, fatigue, or digestive discomfort, your body may be reacting to certain foods. Discover hidden food triggers with our Food Intolerance Test Profile. This powerful IgG-mediated blood test checks your immune system’s response to 218 foods, empowering you to plan a diet that suits your unique biology.

What Is Food Intolerance?

Food intolerance is a delayed immune response, unlike classic food allergies that cause immediate, often severe reactions. While food allergies (IgE-mediated) show up fast, food intolerances (IgG-mediated) can take hours or days to trigger symptoms, making them tricky to pinpoint without testing.

Common signs of food intolerance include:

Bloating, indigestion, IBS
Headaches or migraines
Skin issues (eczema, acne)
Fatigue, low energy
Weight fluctuations
Joint pain, inflammation
