Use with caution in:
- Immunocompromised individuals may show reduced antibody responses, affecting test accuracy.
KBMO FIT 176 (including the gut barrier panel)
Food Sensitivity Assessment (FIT 176): Evaluates sensitivities to 176 different foods and additives, encompassing all major food groups, including dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, seeds, fish, shellfish, spices, and food additives. It measures:
- IgG Antibodies: Immunoglobulin G antibodies, which can indicate delayed food sensitivities.
- Immune Complexes (IgG + C3d): This is the binding of IgG antibodies to food antigens, which can lead to inflammation and various health issues.
- Candida: A yeast that can overgrow in the gut, potentially causing digestive and immune issues.
- Zonulin: A protein that regulates the tight junctions between intestinal cells. Elevated levels of Zonulin are a sign of increased intestinal permeability.
- Occludin: A protein involved in maintaining the tight junctions between gut cells. Lower levels can suggest a compromised gut barrier.
- Lipopolysaccharides (LPS): Toxins from certain bacteria in the gut. Elevated levels are often associated with leaky gut and systemic inflammation.
Sample Collection: The test requires a finger-prick blood sample, allowing for convenient at-home testing. Alternatively, it can be arranged in our clinic for an additional fee.
KBMO FIT 132 (including the gut barrier panel)
Food Sensitivity Assessment (FIT 132): Evaluates sensitivities to 132 different foods and additives, encompassing all major food groups, including dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, seeds, fish, shellfish, spices, and food additives.
- IgG Antibodies: Measures immune responses to 132 different foods and additives.
- Immune Complexes (IgG + C3d): Assesses the formation of immune complexes that can lead to inflammation.
Gut Barrier Panel (GBP):
- Candida: Evaluates overgrowth of yeast in the gut.
- Zonulin: A marker of intestinal permeability; elevated levels suggest compromised gut barrier function.
- Occludin: A protein involved in tight junctions between gut cells; reduced levels can indicate leaky gut.
- Lipopolysaccharides (LPS): Endotoxins from gram-negative bacteria; elevated antibodies may reflect increased gut permeability and systemic inflammation.
Sample Collection: The test can be performed using a finger-prick blood sample (blood spot) or a serum sample from a blood draw, providing flexibility for at-home or in-clinic testing for an additional fee.
KBMO FIT 22 (not including GBP)
The KBMO FIT 22 is a food sensitivity test designed to detect delayed immune responses to 22 common foods and additives. It measures both IgG antibodies and immune complexes (IgG + C3d), providing insights into potential food-related inflammation and sensitivities.
The foods tested are: Gluten, Candida, Corn, Almonds, Whole Wheat, Brewers, Yeast, Chicken, Pineapple, Egg White, Banana,
Peanut, Salmon, Egg Yolk, Beef, Tomato, Shrimp, Cow’s Milk, Broccoli, White Potato, Turmeric, Casein, Coffee.
Sample Collection: The test requires a finger-prick blood sample, allowing for convenient at-home testing. Alternatively, it can be arranged in our clinic for an additional fee.
KBMO Gut barrier panel (GBP)
KBMO has created a unique Gut Barrier Panel in recognising that leaky gut occurs across a spectrum, we have included the following gatekeeper markers:
- Zonulin: A protein that modulates the permeability of tight junctions between intestinal cells. Elevated levels suggest increased intestinal permeability.
- Occludin: A structural protein critical for maintaining tight junction integrity. Elevated antibodies may indicate tight junction breakdown.
- Lipopolysaccharides (LPS): Components of gram-negative bacterial cell walls. Elevated antibodies can reflect translocation into the bloodstream due to increased intestinal permeability.
- Candida: A type of yeast that naturally resides in the gut. Overgrowth can disrupt gut flora balance and contribute to leaky gut.
Sample Collection: The test requires a finger-prick blood sample, allowing for convenient at-home testing. Alternatively, it can be arranged in our clinic for an additional fee.

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.
