This test could help identify problem foods which are causing you uncomfortable symptoms of food sensitivity (also known as food intolerance).
Detect food-specific IgG antibodies to 161 vegetarian foods. It is important to identify your unique IgG responses in order to guide dietary changes that will help resolve the symptoms.
A finger-prick home sample works as well as a phlebotomy sample.
Food sensitivity, sometimes referred to as food intolerance, occurs when your body reacts to certain foods, causing uncomfortable symptoms. This condition, characterised by a delayed immune response to specific foods, can significantly impact your daily life.
This test will help you to understand your IgG response to over 160 foods, and which dietary interventions may be taken to taken to ease symptoms. The symptoms of food sensitivity, including digestive symptoms such as irritable bowel syndrome and psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression, can be significantly relieved through an IgG guided diet.
Results are sent in 5 working days and include a detailed overview of how to manage the food sensitivities through elimination and reintroduction to your diet.

These are food sensitivity tests, which identify IgG antibodies and immune-mediated reactions to food. It is also known as a type III allergy as opposed to a type I IgE food allergy. These tests have also been known as food intolerance testing.
In addition to IgG food sensitivity testing, we offer tests for IgA antibodies specific to coeliac disease and gluten intolerance.
Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.
Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP.
For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.
If you see ‘invalid result’ on any of your report pages, it’s nothing to worry about.
