What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing bloating, gas, stomach cramps, skin rashes, headaches, or fatigue that seem to show up after eating certain foods. It looks for delayed immune reactions to common foods that can be hard to pin down through observation alone. Many people use this panel to figure out which foods might be quietly triggering their symptoms.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks your immune response to a wide range of common foods across categories like dairy, grains, meats, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Testing across many food groups at once matters because sensitivities are often hidden and don't show up as an obvious pattern, so casting a wide net helps catch reactions you might not suspect.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each food reaction level explained against its normal range, so you can see clearly which foods came back elevated. From there, a common next step is removing the highest-reacting foods from your diet for a few weeks and noting whether symptoms improve, then slowly reintroducing them one at a time. Your full lab report is available to download from your account anytime, and you can use the trends feature to track changes if you retest down the road. If you notice severe reactions like swelling or trouble breathing after eating, that's different from a delayed sensitivity and warrants urgent medical care right away.

How can I naturally support digestion while identifying food triggers?

Keeping a simple food and symptom journal alongside your test results can help you connect the dots faster. Eating more whole, unprocessed foods, staying hydrated, and adding probiotic-rich foods like yogurt or fermented vegetables can support gut health while you sort out trigger foods. Reducing added sugar and alcohol temporarily can also calm digestive irritation and make patterns easier to spot.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your account, where you can view and download the full report.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with ongoing, hard-to-explain symptoms like bloating, brain fog, skin flare-ups, joint aches, or fatigue that seem tied to what they eat. It's also useful for people who've already tried eliminating obvious culprits like gluten or dairy without full relief and want a broader picture. People managing chronic digestive discomfort often use this test as a starting point for a more targeted elimination diet.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include recurring bloating or gas, stomach cramps, diarrhea or constipation, skin issues like eczema or hives, headaches, joint pain, and unexplained fatigue that doesn't have an obvious cause. These symptoms often show up hours or even a day after eating the trigger food, which is why they're tricky to connect without testing. If several of these sound familiar and they seem to come and go with your diet, this panel can help narrow things down.

What does a high reaction level to a food mean?

A high result means your immune system is producing more antibodies against that specific food than typical, which can be linked to symptoms like inflammation, digestive upset, or skin issues. It doesn't mean you're allergic in the classic sense, but rather that your body may respond better if that food is reduced or removed for a while. Many people see improvement in symptoms within a few weeks of cutting out their highest-reacting foods.

What causes elevated food reactions on this panel?

Elevated levels can develop from eating a food very frequently, having a more permeable or irritated gut lining, or general immune system sensitivity that builds up over time. Some people develop reactions to foods they eat almost every day without realizing it. Genetics and overall gut health can also play a role in how strongly your body responds to certain foods.

How often should I retest?

Many people retest after 3 to 6 months of eliminating and then slowly reintroducing trigger foods, to see if reaction levels have changed. If your symptoms have fully resolved, retesting can confirm whether it's safe to keep those foods in your diet long-term. Retesting sooner may make sense if new symptoms pop up after reintroducing certain foods.
