Which foods are measured in the Food intolerance test 240 items?
Understanding Food Intolerances
Food intolerances occur when the body struggles to digest certain foods, often leading to uncomfortable digestive symptoms. Unlike food allergies, which involve the immune system, intolerances primarily affect the digestive system. Common culprits include milk, wheat, soy, egg and rice. Individuals with food intolerances may experience a range of symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhoea. These reactions can vary in severity and may develop over several hours or days, making it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause without testing.
Symptoms of Food Intolerances
- Gastrointestinal Issues: Bloating, gas, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain.
- Neurological Symptoms: Headaches, brain fog, and fatigue.
- Skin Reactions: Rashes, eczema, and acne.
- Respiratory Problems: Congestion, sneezing, and asthma-like symptoms.
At-Home Food Intolerance Test
You can easily perform all our tests, including the Food Intolerance test, at home. After completing the test, send it to our lab for analysis. You will receive your results digitally.
Food Intolerances and Gut Health
A result indicating multiple food intolerances often points to an underlying gut problem. We recommend the Gut Microbiome XL test or the Leaky Gut test to gain insights into any imbalances in gut health.
The ELISA Method
We conduct the food intolerance test using the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method. This analytical technique detects and quantifies soluble substances, like peptides, proteins, antibodies, and hormones. In the ELISA method, initially, we immobilize the target antigen on a microplate, and subsequently, we link it to an antibody and a reporter enzyme to ensure precise detection. We achieve detection by measuring the reporter enzyme's activity through incubation with a specific substrate, resulting in a measurable product. The key to ELISA is the precise antibody-antigen interaction.
Preparation for the Test
To guarantee accurate results, we recommend exposure to the foods included in the test within the last three months before taking it. Furthermore, if it has been over three months since you ingested these foods, the test might show decreased sensitivity.

Always being a proactive individual when it comes to health, I opted for the Food Intolerance 240 Items test from GetTested. Given the constant mild discomfort I felt after meals, I was keen to pinpoint the exact ingredients causing it. From the time of taking the test to receiving the results, the process was incredibly smooth. Once the results were in my hands, they opened up a world of understanding. I was surprised to find out that some foods, which I had assumed to be completely harmless, were actually causing my persistent stomach unease. It was not just about lactose or gluten; the test provided insights into various other foods and ingredients. Armed with this detailed report, I've initiated changes in my diet over the past few weeks. The results? A noticeable improvement in digestion, energy levels, and overall well-being. For anyone considering this test, I'd say it's absolutely worth it. It's not just about discovering what foods your body disagrees with, but it's a step towards a healthier and more comfortable life :) :)
