What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing bloating, stomach pain, headaches, skin issues, or fatigue that seem to show up after eating certain foods. It helps you figure out if a food sensitivity might be contributing to how you feel, so you can start narrowing down which foods to avoid or reduce. It's a good starting point if you've noticed a pattern but haven't been able to pin down the trigger on your own.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks your immune reaction to a wide range of common foods, grouped into categories like dairy, grains, meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seafood. Testing across these food groups matters because sensitivities can hide in everyday staples you might not suspect, and covering a broad range increases the chance of spotting a pattern behind your symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your online account, with each food item's reaction level explained in simple terms. From there, you can start an elimination approach by cutting out the foods that showed higher reactivity and watching how you feel over the following weeks. You can download a standard lab report anytime for your records, and if you retest down the line, the trends feature lets you compare results over time to see how your reactions have changed.

How can I naturally support digestive health while identifying food sensitivities?

Keeping a simple food and symptom journal alongside your results can help you connect specific meals to how you feel. Eating more whole, unprocessed foods and staying hydrated supports your gut while you sort through elimination. Some people find that adding fermented foods or a probiotic helps ease digestive discomfort during this process. Slowly reintroducing foods one at a time after a break makes it easier to spot true triggers.

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, and you can log in anytime to view the full breakdown by food category.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who regularly deals with unexplained bloating, skin flare-ups, headaches, brain fog, or fatigue that seem tied to meals. It's also useful if you've already tried cutting out one or two obvious foods without much improvement and want a broader picture. People managing conditions like eczema or IBS-type symptoms often use this test to explore whether food triggers play a role.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include bloating, gas, stomach cramps, diarrhea or constipation, skin rashes or eczema flare-ups, joint aches, headaches, and unexplained fatigue that seem to follow meals. If these symptoms come and go without a clear cause, and seem worse after certain foods, this panel can help you look for patterns.

What does a high reactivity result mean for a specific food?

A high reactivity result means your immune system is producing more antibodies against that particular food than usual, which some people associate with lingering low-grade symptoms like bloating or fatigue. It doesn't mean you're allergic in the emergency-room sense — it's a different kind of immune response tied to sensitivity rather than a true allergy. Many people choose to reduce or eliminate that food for a few weeks to see if symptoms improve.

How often should I retest?

Many people retest after 3 to 6 months of eliminating or reducing their high-reactivity foods to see if their levels have changed and confirm the food was actually a trigger. If you've reintroduced foods gradually, retesting can also help confirm which ones are safe to keep in your diet long-term.

What should I do if my results show several high-reactivity foods?

Start by eliminating the highest-reactivity foods one at a time rather than all at once, so you can track how your body responds to each change. Give your body 2-3 weeks per elimination before drawing conclusions, and keep notes on your symptoms during this period. If symptoms are severe or persistent despite dietary changes, seek medical care to rule out other underlying issues.
