Biomarkers included – Food Intolerance Test (96 Foods)

• Casein: Dairy — Casein intolerance is a condition that occurs when the body has difficulty digesting casein — a protein found in milk and dairy products. Unlike a casein allergy, which triggers an immune response, casein intolerance primarily affects the digestive system, often causing symptoms such as bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort after consuming dairy.
• Cheddar cheese: Dairy — Cheddar cheese allergy is a reaction linked to cow’s milk allergy, as cheddar is made from cow’s milk. It is triggered by milk proteins such as casein and whey. Recognizing the symptoms and knowing how to manage the allergy are important for those affected.
• Cow’s milk: Dairy — Cow’s milk reactions refer to different conditions that occur in response to consuming cow’s milk, including cow’s milk intolerance, cow’s milk allergy, and lactose intolerance.

How to prepare – Food Intolerance Test (96 Foods)

Continue eating your normal diverse diet for at least 4 weeks prior to testing. Avoid testing if you are currently taking immunosuppressant medications or steroids.

Frequently asked questions – Food Intolerance Test (96 Foods)

What is the difference between food allergy and food intolerance?

A food allergy (IgE) causes an immediate, potentially life-threatening reaction. A food intolerance (IgG) involves a delayed response (up to 72 hours) and is typically linked to chronic symptoms like bloating, migraines, or fatigue. This test measures the delayed IgG response.

Do I need to eat specific foods before taking the test?

For accurate results, you should be consuming the foods you wish to test regularly for 4 weeks prior to the sample collection. If you have avoided a specific food for more than 3 months, your body may not be producing detectable IgG antibodies for that item.

Will my medications affect the results?

Standard antihistamines usually do not affect IgG levels. However, immunosuppressants or long-term steroid use (such as Prednisone) may suppress antibody production and affect the accuracy of the results. Consult your physician before altering any medication.

Can this test diagnose Celiac disease?

No, this test is not a diagnostic tool for Celiac Disease. While it measures reactions to gluten and gliadin proteins, Celiac disease requires specific IgA/tTG antibody testing or a medical biopsy for clinical diagnosis.
