Our food intolerance test assesses the reaction of the body to 232 foods using a small blood sample. Food intolerance can be categorized into 2 types - food allergies and food intolerance.
Food intolerance refers to difficulty in digesting certain foods. Foods most commonly associated with food intolerance include dairy products, grains that contain gluten and foods that cause intestinal gas buildup, such as cabbage.
Food allergies trigger the immune system, while food tolerance does not. Symptoms may range from mild to severe. Symptoms may include itchiness, swelling of the tongue, vomiting, diarrhea, hives, trouble breathing, or low blood pressure. Symptoms usually occur within minutes to several hours of exposure. Foods most commonly associated with food allergies include milk, peanuts, eggs, shellfish, fish, tree nuts, soy, wheat, rice, and fruit.
