Food intolerance and food sensitivity are broad terms used for adverse reactions to particular foods. Food-related reactions can be immune-mediated or non-immune-mediated.

This profile measures food-specific IgG antibody reactivity. Other forms of food intolerance include lactose intolerance caused by lactase deficiency and histamine intolerance associated with impaired histamine breakdown.

A Food Intolerance Test is useful for people who experience recurring food-related symptoms but find it difficult to identify the triggering foods. These can include bloating, digestive discomfort, headaches, fatigue, skin concerns, or symptoms that appear several hours after eating. The test is also useful when planning a structured elimination and re-introduction diet with a medical professional or nutritionist.

This Food Intolerance Test uses IgG-based food reactivity screening. Food allergy testing is different and involves IgE testing together with clinical evaluation. In a food allergy, the immune system reacts to a food protein and can trigger rapid symptoms, including severe reactions.

Milk-protein reactivity and lactose intolerance are different: An elevated IgG reaction to cow’s milk concerns milk proteins, while lactose intolerance results from insufficient lactase enzyme activity.

1. Review the strongest reactions: Start with foods listed as elevated and use the Order of Reactivity view to identify the highest numerical values.
2. Choose alternatives: Use normal foods from the same food group while maintaining variety across meals.
3. Rotate foods: Avoid replacing one frequently eaten food with another food consumed every day.
4. Keep a food and symptom diary: Record foods, symptoms, and changes before and during the dietary plan.
5. Re-introduce foods gradually: After at least three months and once symptoms have improved, introduce one food at a time and observe the response for five days before introducing the next food.
6. Maintain nutritional balance: Replace nutrients supplied by any major food group removed from the diet.

This Food Intolerance Profile is a blood test processed in a certified laboratory. A blood sample is collected, serum is prepared, and the report is issued after lab analysis.

It is not a home stool test kit.

Note: Food-specific IgG results are best interpreted together with symptoms, dietary history, and professional guidance. Any elimination and re-introduction plan should preserve a varied and nutritionally balanced diet.
