Stop guessing which foods are causing your symptoms a data-backed map of your digestive health. We are constantly encouraged to eat a well-balanced, diverse diet. But what happens when the healthy foods you eat are secretly triggering negative reactions? Unlike immediate food allergies, a food intolerance is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction mediated by IgG antibodies. Because symptoms can take anywhere from 2 to 72 hours to manifest after eating, it is difficult to pinpoint the culprit using a standard food diary alone. These hidden sensitivities promote chronic, low-grade inflammation, manifesting as persistent bloating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), migraines, stubborn skin rashes, joint aches, and constant fatigue. Our Advanced Laboratory Food Intolerance Test bridges ultimate convenience with clinical excellence, pairing an easy at-home sample collection kit with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology. Your sample is analyzed directly within our in-house, CQC-regulated UK laboratory, where our clinical team tests your specific antibody responses against 286 food antigens spanning 13 distinct food groups.
