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.
Before taking the Food Intolerance 80 Items Test
We recommend that you have been exposed to the foods included in the test within the last three months before taking the test. It may show less sensitivity to the results if it has not consumed these foods for more than three months.
How does the Food Intolerance 80 Items Test work?
All our tests, including the Food Intolerance test are performed at home, and then sent to our lab for analysis. Your test result will be received digitally.
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).

I did the test 3 weeks ago and have changed my diet according to my result. I can honestly say that I have not only gotten much more energy but my stomach is better than it has in a long time. Only took about a week until I started noticing the changes.

It was a bit unpleasant to have to draw blood myself, but it was worth it when I got my result. Really keen to do more tests now!

“I’ve been on a quest to figure out why, despite eating balanced meals, I felt bloated and uneasy. The Food Intolerance 80 Items test seemed like a thorough place to start. Post-testing, I was amazed at the findings. Several foods I consumed regularly were culprits. I’ve since adjusted my diet and feel lighter and more energetic. It’s been a game-changer, and I appreciate the clarity this test provided. Highly recommended for those in a similar boat.

Can admit that I was sceptical about this. And I was convinced the result was wrong…but when I followed the recommendations symptoms, that I never believed could be connected to my food intake, started to disappear. 😀

I’ve always been a foodie, enjoying a wide variety of cuisines. However, over the past year, I began noticing discomfort after meals, with no discernible pattern. On the advice of a close friend, I opted for the Food Intolerance 80 Items test. The thoroughness appealed to me, given my diverse diet. Once I mailed back my sample, the anticipation set in. When the results arrived, they were in-depth, clear, and, honestly, surprising. Several foods I enjoyed regularly were flagged. Thanks to the detailed report, I revamped my diet, avoiding the problematic foods. The difference? Night and day. The bloating reduced significantly, and my overall well-being improved. I never realized just how pivotal our food choices were until I took this test. While it’s been a journey adapting to the new dietary changes, it’s been absolutely worth it. My body is thanking me daily, and I owe a debt of gratitude to GetTested. If you’re on the fence, take the leap; your body deserves to feel its best.

Always thought my occasional discomforts after eating were normal until a friend mentioned food intolerance. I gave the Food Intolerance 80 Items test a shot, and the results were eye-opening. I had intolerances I wasn’t even remotely aware of. Armed with this knowledge, I’ve made some diet tweaks. The difference is palpable; no more guessing games post meals. Grateful to GetTested for offering such an invaluable tool. 🙂

After continuously feeling sluggish and having sporadic digestive troubles, I finally decided to take control of my health. The Food Intolerance 80 Items test from GetTested caught my eye. I thought, why not cast a broader net and check for a comprehensive range of food intolerances? Once the test kit arrived, the process was seamless. The waiting, admittedly, was the hardest part. When the results came in, they were nothing short of enlightening. I found out that several items, some of which were staples in my diet, were potential triggers.
Equipped with this newfound knowledge, I started working on adjusting my diet. The guidance from the results was invaluable, and I began experimenting with alternative foods. The transformation in how I felt was astonishing. No more post-lunch lethargy, no unexplained stomach cramps. It was as if I had hit a reset button on my body. Using the Food Intolerance 80 Items test has genuinely been a pivotal moment in my health journey. I highly recommend it to anyone feeling ‘off’ with no clear reason. It could be something you’re eating, and this test might just provide the answers.
