Food Intolerance Test

Food intolerance refers to the unfavourable reaction to food. Some symptoms of food intolerance are bloating, nausea, cramps, etc. It is often given a low priority in the investigation of disease.

Food intolerance reactions can be caused by:

• Enzyme deficiency
• Histamine releasing effects
• Altered intestinal permeability (e.g. Leaky Gut)
• Medication side effects

While the majority of adverse reactions to food are rarely life threatening, they can be a source of considerable discomfort especially if you suffer from any chronic conditions and/or diseases.

Some common conditions where food intolerance may play a significant role are:

• Bloating and fluid retention
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Headaches or migraines
• Depression and mood swings
• Asthma
• Behavioural problems in children (ADD & ADHD)

What are some common symptoms of food intolerance?

Food intolerance symptoms are varied and have different reactions. Some common symptoms are:

• Fatigue
• Skin Conditions
• Hives
• Abdominal cramping
• Diarrhoea

Sometimes, people live with these symptoms for years without suspecting the foods that may trigger them or the involvement of their immune system.

How does the IgG & IgA Food Intolerance Profile work?

The IgG & IgA general food panel is an efficient and reliable method for diagnosing people with adverse reactions to food. It works by detecting any of the 96 general western foods that may cause gastrointestinal and mucous membrane reactions, which in turn cause the common symptoms of food intolerance. The test is done via blood sample.

The foods tested in the 96-food panel are:

Almond, Amaranth, Apple, Apricot, Avocado, Banana, Barley, Beans (Kidney, Lima, Pinto), Beef, Beet, Blueberry, Broccoli, Buckwheat, Cabbage, Capsicum (green), Carrot, Casein, Cauliflower, Celery, Cheese (Cheddar, Cottage, Mozzarella), Chicken, Clam, Cocoa, Coconut, Cod, Coffee, Corn, Crab, Cranberry, Cucumber, Egg White (Chicken), Egg Whole (Duck), Egg Yolk (Chicken), Garlic, Gliadin (Wheat), Gluten (Wheat), Grape, Grapefruit, Halibut, Hazelnut, Honey, Lamb, Lemon, Lentil, Lettuce, Lobster, Milk (Cow, Goat), Mushroom, Oat, Olive, Onion, Orange, Papaya, Pea (green), Peach, Peanut, Pear, Pecan, Pineapple, Plum, Pork, Potato (Sweet), Potato (White), Pumpkin, Radish, Raspberry, Rice (white), Rye, Sesame seed, Salmon, Scallop, Shrimp, Snapper, Sole, Soy Bean, Spelt, Spinach, Strawberry, String bean, Sugar cane, Sunflower seed, Tomato, Tuna, Turkey, Walnut, Wheat, Whey, Yeast (Baker’s, Brewer’s), Yoghurt, Zucchini.
