Food Intolerance Test

Food intolerance or sensitivity is an adverse reaction to a specific food. These reactions may be caused by an enzyme deficiency or a chemical sensitivity, whilst others are often the result of an inappropriate response by the immune system.
Immune-related food intolerances have been linked to food-specific IgG antibodies, as the production of antibodies is one of the ways in which the immune system reacts to substances that adversely affect it.

How Does It Work

Foodprint® is a highly sensitive and accurate laboratory test that detects the presence of IgG food-specific antibodies to a wide range of foods and is the first step in identifying which foods may be causing an inappropriate immune response and affecting your health.

FAQs

What symptoms might indicate a food intolerance?
Symptoms of food intolerance can vary but commonly include bloating, gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, skin rashes, or joint pain. Symptoms are usually delayed, appearing hours or even days after consuming the problematic food.
Food intolerances may change over time. Some people find that avoiding the offending foods for a period allows their body to tolerate them in small amounts later on. However, in some cases, food intolerances may persist.
