Why Choose Food Sensitivity Testing?

Food sensitivity tests offer significant benefits by identifying which foods may be causing unwanted symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, headaches, and digestive discomfort. Many individuals unknowingly consume foods that trigger sensitivities, leading to chronic health issues that could be alleviated through targeted dietary changes.
Unlike food allergies, which cause immediate and severe reactions, food sensitivities often have delayed effects, making them difficult to pinpoint. This can result in persistent, unexplained health issues affecting daily life. By identifying problem foods, individuals can create a balanced diet that reduces inflammation, improves digestion, and helps manage symptoms more effectively, leading to improved physical and mental health.

The Growing Need for Food Sensitivity Testing

More people are recognising the impact of diet on their health, with symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, skin irritations, and digestive discomfort often linked to food sensitivities. With scientifically backed tests like KBMO FIT, P88, and FoodPrint, individuals can take proactive steps to understand their body’s unique responses to food and make long-term, health-supporting choices.
By investing in food sensitivity testing, patients can avoid unnecessary discomfort, optimise their nutrition, and work towards a symptom-free, balanced lifestyle.

FAQ

Common Q&A about Food Sensitivity Tests

Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.

Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.

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.
