Food Intolerance 80 items

Food Intolerance Testing

This test measures your hypersensitivity to 80 different foods, including gluten, wheat, milk, soy, eggs, and oats.

Food intolerances and the gut

A high number of food intolerances often indicates an underlying gut problem. In such cases, we recommend our Gut Microbiome XL or Leaky Gut tests. These can provide insights into any imbalances in gut health.

The Food Intolerance 80 Items Test (IgG4) from GetTested assesses sensitivities to a comprehensive array of foods. It includes a diverse range of foods such as meats, fish, dairy, grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. Key items like salmon, beef, various milks, wheat, and several nuts are tested, along with a selection of fruits and vegetables. This test helps in identifying individual intolerances to a broad spectrum of foods, aiding in dietary management and symptom relief.

Understanding your unique food sensitivities allows for personalised dietary adjustments, potentially reducing symptoms like bloating, headaches, fatigue, and skin issues.

Benefits of the Food Intolerance 80 Items Test:

• Comprehensive Coverage: Tests a wide range of common foods to provide a thorough assessment.
• Personalized Results: Identifies specific intolerances to help tailor your diet.
• Symptom Relief: Helps in reducing and managing symptoms related to food intolerances.
• Dietary Management: Assists in making informed dietary choices, promoting overall health and wellbeing.

By pinpointing foods that trigger adverse reactions, the Food Intolerance 80 Items Test (IgG4) from GetTested empowers you to make informed decisions about your diet, improving your quality of life and enhancing your health.

Things to consier before taking the test

We recommend that you have been exposed to the foods you wish to test for within the last three months – preferably on several occasions during that period. This ensures that any antibodies against foods you may react to are present in your blood at the time of analysis.

If it has been longer than that since you last ate these foods, there is a risk that the test may show weaker reactions, even if a sensitivity is present.

The ELISA-method

We perform the food intolerance test using the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method. This technique detects and quantifies soluble substances like peptides, proteins, antibodies, and hormones. It involves immobilizing the antigen on a microplate, then linking it to an antibody with a reporter enzyme. We measure the enzyme's activity to produce a quantifiable result, relying on a specific antibody-antigen interaction.
