Food Allergy & Sensitivity Test
Easy
Quick
Home-test
Adverse reactions to foods can cause both mild and severe health problems in a subset of the population. Immediate food allergies are known to affect 4% of the general population, whereas general adverse reactions to food may affect a much higher proportion (>20%). The symptoms caused by the food reactions can be as mild as bloating but as severe as anaphylaxis. Conditions which may be caused or exacerbated by adverse food reactions include asthma, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), migraine, otitis media and skin rashes. A wide variety of more non-specific symptoms can be attributed to food sensitivities such as fatigue, headaches, and difficulty losing weight, food addictions and trouble concentrating.
Allergies vs Sensitivities (Intolerance)
Adverse food reactions include any abnormal reaction resulting from the ingestion of a food. They can be categorised as food allergies (with an immune response) or food sensitivities/intolerance. In general, food allergy occurs immediate after consuming specific foods and it can be life-threatening, where as food sensitivity (intolerance) does not cause severe allergic reactions. However, we cannot ignore food intolerance because it is said that food intolerance has been associated with asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other conditions.
Different antibodies react differently!
IgA antibody
We need you to know that we have 5 different antibodies circulating in our body and they all do different job. IgA is the predominant antibody found in mucus membranes and works as a first line defence against allergens. Production of IgA antibodies are exacerbated when sensitivity to specific foods inflame the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. This inflammation will lead to gastrointestinal symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, IBS to IBD. Elevated IgA to specific foods is indicative of impaired mucus membrane integrity in the gut. Individuals with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, or even those with suspected leaky gut may benefit from testing IgA food reactions.
​
IgG antibody
Recently studies in atopic patients and IBS have been implemented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the IgG test. In general, IgG reactions occur hours and days after consuming the foods you are sensitive to. The severity and timing is all depend on the level of your sensitivity. Test results highlight what your body is sensitive to AND how sensitive you are as well. It provides us possible link to your health concern too. From the results, we assist you to build a diet plan specific to you - generally start from eliminating high scored foods to 'settle' inflammation in your body, then slowly introduce again by rotating foods. IgG test is the most commonly used food sensitivity test.
​
IgE antibody
IgE allergic response is the most well-known food allergy reaction. IgE food allergy reactions usually occur immediately after the ingestion of offending foods, such as peanuts or shellfish. The IgE food antibody profile measures levels of antigen-specific IgE to common foods. It is recommended that IgE allergy testing is only performed for infants greater than 18 months of age.

'Allergy-like' symptoms
Numerous amount of recent studies have been showing the association of food intolerance and all sorts of health conditions. However, it is not always easy to specify which foods your body is responding to and how sensitive you are . Seeing the clear picture will be beneficial to improve your health status.
