Discover Your Food Freedom — Advanced Intolerance Testing

Food allergies involve immediate immune reactions (IgE antibodies) that can be severe and sometimes life-threatening, appearing within minutes to hours. Food intolerances are different — they involve delayed immune responses (IgG antibodies) that develop gradually and may not appear until hours or days after eating. Intolerance symptoms tend to be milder but can affect quality of life significantly. They're also more common, and unlike allergies, intolerances can sometimes be managed through rotation and elimination diets rather than permanent avoidance.

IgG is an antibody that your immune system produces when it detects specific proteins in foods. When you consume a food your body reacts to, it may produce IgG antibodies against it. Our laboratory test measures these antibodies in your blood sample against 100+ common foods. The results show which foods trigger immune responses and how strong those responses are, helping you identify exactly which foods to address in your diet.

IgG testing is a well-established method used by nutritional practitioners worldwide. Results are generated by accredited laboratories using standardized methodology. However, it's important to note that testing identifies potential food sensitivities rather than definitive proof of intolerance — individual responses vary. Some foods that test positive may not cause noticeable reactions in your daily life, while others might need a rotation approach rather than complete elimination. This is why combining test results with your own observations and professional guidance is most effective.

Once your test kit arrives at our partner laboratory, analysis typically takes 7-10 business days. You'll receive a detailed report showing all results with food categorized by reaction level. If you've selected the Extended Support Package, we'll schedule your consultation with a nutrition specialist within 2-3 business days of receiving your results. Keep in mind that processing times may vary slightly during peak periods.

Most people follow an elimination phase (4-6 weeks avoiding reactive foods), then gradually reintroduce them one at a time to see which ones truly cause symptoms. Many foods that test positive can be tolerated again after a rest period, especially if you rotate them rather than eating them daily. This approach helps identify your actual threshold rather than assuming permanent avoidance is necessary. Our guidance includes detailed protocols for safe reintroduction and rotation strategies to maintain variety in your diet.

Yes, testing can be performed on children ages 5 and up. The collection process is gentle and simple. However, it's important to work with a qualified professional who understands pediatric nutrition, as children's dietary needs are different from adults. Our team can provide guidance on age-appropriate elimination and reintroduction strategies. If you're considering testing for a child, we recommend discussing your child's specific situation with our specialists first to ensure the most appropriate approach.
