A food sensitivity test measures your body’s immune response to certain foods by detecting levels of specific antibodies (such as IgG) that may indicate an intolerance. It helps identify foods that could be causing symptoms like bloating, headaches, or fatigue.
A food allergy test identifies immediate, potentially life-threatening immune reactions (IgE antibodies), while a food sensitivity test detects delayed responses (often through IgG antibodies), which can cause symptoms hours or days after consuming a food.
Common symptoms include digestive issues (bloating, diarrhea, constipation), skin problems (rashes, eczema), headaches, fatigue, joint pain, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms are often subtle and delayed.
Most tests require a blood sample, which is analyzed for immune responses to specific foods. Some tests use a finger-prick blood sample that can be collected at home, while others require a full blood draw.
The accuracy of food sensitivity tests is debated. While some people find them helpful in identifying foods that trigger symptoms, others believe they can produce false positives or negatives. It’s best to interpret the results in conjunction with a healthcare professional.
No, food sensitivity tests are not diagnostic tools for diseases. They are intended to guide individuals in identifying potential food triggers, but they should not replace medical advice for conditions like celiac disease, IBS, or food allergies.
If your test indicates food sensitivities, it’s recommended to follow an elimination diet under the guidance of a nutritionist or doctor. You’ll remove the suspected foods from your diet for a period, then slowly reintroduce them to observe if symptoms reoccur.
Yes, food sensitivities can fluctuate depending on factors like gut health, stress, and diet. Some people may develop sensitivities to new foods, while others may tolerate foods they previously reacted to after healing their gut or eliminating the triggers for a time.
At-home food sensitivity tests can provide useful insights, but their reliability can vary. It’s crucial to follow the instructions carefully and interpret the results with caution, preferably with professional advice, to avoid unnecessary dietary restrictions.
Common food sensitivities include dairy, gluten, eggs, soy, nuts, and certain fruits or vegetables. However, sensitivities can vary widely between individuals, so personalized testing may reveal different trigger foods.
