Food Intolerance Test (IgG)
Are you living with a food intolerance?
A food intolerance response takes place in the gut, and it occurs when you are unable to properly breakdown the food. This could be due to enzyme deficiencies, sensitivity to food additives or reactions to naturally occurring chemicals in foods. Often people can eat small amounts of the food without causing problems.
The Food Intolerance Test assesses your antibody response to the foods you eat. Choose the panel that suits your diet - from a focused 96-food screen up to our most comprehensive 240-food assessment 0 with options weighted toward Western, Asian or vegetarian diets. Your sample is screened using the ELISA method, and you can select the antibody marker that fits your needs: IgG for delayed-type responses (our most popular), IgA for mucosal gut-lining responses, an IgG + IgA combination for the fullest picture, or our new IgG4 subclass option. View our Guide to Food Intolerance Testing for more information.
Your results also come with a suggested Personal Rotation Diet Guideline designed to reduce food sensitivities, enhance nutrient diversity, and support gut health. This involves rotating different food groups every 3-4 days to minimise immune system reactivity, prevent overexposure to specific allergens, and promote a diverse gut microbiome.
Following receipt of your results, consider a teleconsult with our dietician for nutrition and meal planning advice in the context of your current health goals.
This is a finger prick blood spot test that doesn't require a visit to a collection centre. If you would prefer a blood draw at a collection centre, you can add the venous blood draw service to your order here.
What's included
IgG intolerance to Candida may indicate an overgrowth of this yeast in the gut, which can disrupt the microbiome, weaken the immune system, and contribute to symptoms like bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and skin issues.
IgG intolerances to dairy can affect gut health, immune function, and overall well-being. These proteins can be difficult to digest and may trigger inflammation, skin issues, sinus congestion, and digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.
IgG intolerances to animal proteins can impact digestion, skin health, and immune balance. A positive result may indicate challenges with protein metabolism or gut barrier integrity, contributing to inflammation and food-related symptoms.
IgG sensitivity to seafood proteins can lead to digestive discomfort, skin reactions, and immune system activation, potentially contributing to inflammation, joint pain, and respiratory symptoms. These sensitivities may also indicate cross-reactivity with other animal proteins or histamine intolerance.
IgG sensitivities to fruits can trigger digestive discomfort, skin reactions, and inflammation. These reactions may also indicate fructose malabsorption, histamine intolerance, or a sensitivity to natural fruit sugars and phenolic compounds.
IgG sensitivities to grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds can contribute to digestive discomfort, inflammation, and nutrient malabsorption. These reactions may also be linked to gut barrier dysfunction (leaky gut), immune system activation, and cross-reactivity with other plant proteins.
IgG sensitivities to ginger and oregano can cause digestive discomfort, inflammation, and skin reactions in sensitive individuals. These herbs contain bioactive compounds that can irritate the gut lining or trigger immune responses if the gut barrier is compromised.
IgG sensitivities to these compounds can cause digestive upset, inflammation, and immune system activation. These foods can also be common triggers for migraines, skin flare-ups, and gut dysbiosis, especially if there is a history of yeast overgrowth or leaky gut.
IgG sensitivities to vegetables can cause digestive discomfort, inflammation, and immune activation. These reactions may also indicate cross-reactivity or histamine intolerance, and can contribute to gut inflammation and food-related symptoms if the gut barrier is compromised.

Allergy Test
Allergies are on the increase, and food allergies in particular are becoming more common. Measure IgE antibodies across 27 common food and environmental allergens. These allergens may be from foods, pollens, house dust, animal hair or moulds.
FODMAP Test
FODMAPs are naturally occurring sugars found in milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetables, cereals and processed foods. These dietary sugars are poorly absorbed in the gut and can cause symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
