Brief Details
What is a Food Intolerance Test?
A Food Intolerance Test is a method used to identify foods that may be causing non-allergic adverse reactions in your body. Unlike a food allergy, which involves a rapid and potentially life-threatening immune system response, a food intolerance primarily affects your digestive system, with symptoms often appearing hours or days after eating the trigger food.
The test uses a blood sample (serum) to measure immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against various foods. This test helps detect delayed hypersensitivity reactions that may be contributing to your chronic health conditions and discomfort.
Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about health tests, bookings, and reports.
You can take the Food Intolerance Test at any time of the day as no fasting is required. The test measures IgG antibodies which remain stable throughout the day, making timing flexible for your convenience.
No, overnight fasting is not mandatory for the Food Intolerance Test. You can eat and drink normally before the test as it measures IgG antibodies that are not affected by recent food intake.
Yes, severe dehydration can concentrate blood components and potentially affect test results. It's recommended to stay well-hydrated before your blood draw to ensure accurate measurements of IgG antibody levels in your sample.
No special dietary changes or medication adjustments are needed before the test. Continue your regular diet and medications unless specifically advised otherwise by your healthcare provider to ensure accurate baseline measurements.
A trained phlebotomist cleans the injection site, typically inside your elbow, and inserts a sterile needle to collect 5 ml of blood into a gel vacutainer. The procedure takes just a few minutes.
The Food Intolerance Test carries minimal risks similar to any blood draw, including slight pain, bruising at the needle site, or rare dizziness. The procedure is safe when performed by trained professionals.
Normal levels are below 24 IU/ml for IgG antibodies. Borderline levels range from 24-30 IU/ml, while elevated levels above 30 IU/ml indicate stronger reactions requiring dietary modifications and food elimination strategies.
The Food Intolerance Test is also known as Food Sensitivity Test, Food IgG Test, or Delayed Food Hypersensitivity Test.
