Food intolerances and the gut

The ELISA-method
The food intolerance test is performed via a method called ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), which is an analytical technique designed to detect and quantify soluble substances such as peptides, proteins, antibodies and hormones. In this method, the antigen itself (the target macromolecule) is immobilised on a solid surface (microplate) and then complexed with an antibody that is linked to a reporter enzyme. Detection is accomplished by measuring the activity of the reporter enzyme via incubation with a suitable substrate to produce a measurable product. The most crucial element of an ELISA is a very specific antibody-antigen interaction.
Food intolerance test at home
All our tests including the Food Intolerance test are performed at home, and then sent to our lab for analysis. Your result will be received digitally.
Before taking the test
We recommend that you have been exposed to the foods included in the test within the last three months, before taking the test. If more than three months have passed without having ingested those foods, the chance is that it might show a lesser sensitivity to the result.
Before you start, you need to register your test. Your test kit contains a sticker with your unique test ID. Register your test ID at 
Wash your hands in hot water for about a minute. This will increase blood circulation in your fingers. Dry your hands. Doing a blood test without stimulating blood circulation might prove difficult, so please do not skip this step.
Disinfect your “test finger” with the supplied disinfectant paper. Wait a few seconds until the finger is completely dry.
Rotate the protective cover on the blood lancet to remove it. Use the extra lancet if you need to do another finger prick.
Place your hand on a flat surface. Put the lancet diagonally toward the test finger and press down the button. Make sure the lancet is pressed against the finger the whole time.
We recommend that you stand up at this stage to let the blood in your arm flow downward. Help the blood drops come out by massaging the finger toward the needle stick.
Drip the blood onto the circles on the paper. Standing up will help. It is important to fill all the circles completely, otherwise the lab will not be able to complete the test.
Place the sticker with your unique test-ID onto the paper. Wait 2 hours for the blood to dry.
When the blood has dried for 2 hours, put the paper in the plastic cover it arrived in.
Put the plastic cover in the enclosed envelope and send it the same day (preferably a Monday or Tuesday).

Used the food intolerance test after struggling with constant nausea. Results showed I’m intolerant to eggs! It was simple to use and the results came back pretty fast. Cutting eggs from my diet and looking forward to a less bloated future. This test was a real eye-opener. I’d recommend it to anyone struggling with unexplained digestive issues.

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 🙂 🙂
