When food fights back

Food Sensitivity Testing

Are the foods you’re choosing to eat making you feel worse? Find your trigger foods and take back your table.

Unexplained symptoms?

Your Symptoms Could Be Linked to What’s on Your Plate

If you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms, it might be worth considering food sensitivity testing. Symptoms that can potentially be linked to food sensitivities include:

  • Bloating and gas
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Headaches
  • Skin rashes
  • Fatigue
  • Joint pain
  • Brain fog

By identifying trigger foods through testing, you can make informed dietary changes — potentially relieving your symptoms and improving your overall well-being. It’s always good to explore every possibility and find personalized solutions for a healthier you.

Diagnostic testing for digestion and food sensitivities

Our lab partner

KBMO Diagnostics

We’ve partnered with KBMO Diagnostics for their advanced testing methods and comprehensive analysis. They specialize in assessing food sensitivities, evaluating immune responses, and identifying hidden triggers for chronic conditions.

Their FIT tests help you understand the underlying factors contributing to your health issues and guide personalized treatment strategies.

What the test measures

How the Immune System Is Tested for Dietary Food Reactions

IgG

IgG reactions to food suggest delayed immune responses that may contribute to symptoms like inflammation, digestive issues, and chronic conditions. Knowing this information helps you identify and eliminate trigger foods, leading to personalized dietary changes that can improve your overall quality of life.

Immune Complexes

Immune complex reactions to food refer to the formation of complexes between antibodies and food antigens. Identifying these reactions helps you understand how certain foods may trigger immune responses, enabling informed dietary choices that can alleviate symptoms, improve digestion, and enhance overall well-being.

Included with every kit

Evaluating the Integrity of Your Gut Barrier Function

Candida

The presence of Candida as an IgG or IgA reaction suggests an immune response to this yeast. It can signify an imbalance in gut microbiota and compromised gut barrier integrity, leading to increased intestinal permeability and potential issues like inflammation, digestive disturbances, and susceptibility to infections.

Zonulin

The presence of zonulin indicates increased intestinal permeability, or “leaky gut.” This can allow toxins, undigested food particles, and bacteria to pass into the bloodstream — triggering inflammation, autoimmune responses, and digestive disorders, simply from the foods you eat.

Occludin

Occludin is a protein involved in maintaining the integrity of tight junctions between cells in the intestinal lining. Its proper functioning ensures a healthy gut barrier, preventing harmful substances from entering the bloodstream and protecting against inflammation, autoimmune reactions, and digestive disorders.

LPS

The presence of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) indicates bacterial endotoxins originating from the gut. Elevated LPS levels can lead to systemic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and increased risk of chronic conditions, including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders.

Common questions

Food Sensitivity Testing FAQ

What’s the difference between the 132 Food Test and the 176 Food Test?

The 176 Food Test evaluates every food and additive on our list. The 132 Food Test evaluates everything except the items shown in parentheses in each category. Both tests include the full Gut Barrier Function Panel.

What does the Gut Barrier Function Panel measure?

Every kit measures candida, zonulin, occludin, and LPS — four markers that together evaluate the integrity of your gut barrier and can point to increased intestinal permeability, or “leaky gut.”

Which symptoms might be linked to food sensitivities?

Symptoms like bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, skin rashes, fatigue, joint pain, or brain fog could potentially be linked to food sensitivities. Identifying trigger foods through testing lets you make informed dietary changes that may relieve symptoms.
