Food Sensitivity Tests in Leicester

Identify Food Sensitivities with Expert Testing at The Health Suite Leicester – Enhance Your Health with Personalised Insights

At The Health Suite Leicester, our Food Sensitivity Testing services help individuals identify potential food triggers that may be affecting their health and well-being. Food sensitivities can contribute to symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, digestive issues, and skin conditions. By pinpointing sensitivities, patients can make informed dietary changes to improve their overall health and quality of life.

We offer a comprehensive range of food sensitivity tests, including:

  • KBMO FIT (Food Inflammation Test) Stool & Blood Testing: Identifies inflammatory responses to specific foods and assesses gut health markers such as zonulin for intestinal permeability.
  • Precision Point Diagnostics P88 Dietary Antigen Test: Evaluates immune system reactions to a broad spectrum of foods, helping to determine delayed hypersensitivity responses.
  • FoodPrint IgG Food Sensitivity Test: Measures IgG antibody responses to common foods, providing insights into potential sensitivities that may be causing symptoms.

By using clinically validated testing methods, our expert team ensures a personalised and evidence-based approach to food sensitivity management. Our results guide tailored nutritional plans to support gut health, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being.

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.

KBMO FIT 176 (including the gut barrier panel) Food Sensitivity Tests

The FIT 176 test (Blood Test) including the gut barrier panel (Stool Test) measures sensitivities of 176 different foods and additives spanning all major food groups.

Please note that the interpretation of test results is not included. For this, you’ll be required to book a food sensitivity results interpretation & follow-up appointment.

For over 2 years old 

Use with caution in: Immunocompromised individuals may show reduced antibody responses, affecting test accuracy.

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.

Gut Barrier Panel (GBP): The GBP is integrated into the FIT 176 test to provide an in-depth analysis of gut health and intestinal permeability, often referred to as “leaky gut.” This part of the test measures several key biomarkers, including:

  • 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.

Turnaround Time: 14 days (Working Days)

Finger-prick tests are generally suitable for individuals aged 2 and over. For blood serum sample collection, the minimum recommended age is 12 and above.

KBMO Gut barrier panel (GBP) Food Sensitivity Tests

The KBMO Gut Barrier Panel (GBP) assesses gut health by measuring immune responses to Candida, Zonulin, Occludin, and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), aiding in identifying leaky gut. ​

Please note that the interpretation of test results is not included. For this, you’ll be required to book a food sensitivity results interpretation & follow-up appointment.

For over 2 years old 

Use with caution in:

  • Immunocompromised individuals may show reduced antibody responses, affecting test accuracy.

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.

Turnaround Time: 14 days (Working Days)

Finger-prick tests are generally suitable for individuals aged 2 and over. For blood serum sample collection, the minimum recommended age is 12 and above.

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.
