220+ Food Sensitivity Test

Broad coverage across grains, dairy, proteins, fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. Results are quantitative — measured in U/mL and classified ELEVATED / BORDERLINE / NORMAL for actionable interpretation — using microarray methodology (food extracts printed on nitrocellulose pads and scanned at high resolution), more precise than traditional ELISA. A complete 5-stage action plan (Remove, Rotate, Replace, Repair, Reintroduce) accompanies the report.

Three-tier quantitative results

Each food is measured in U/mL and placed into one of three categories — far more useful than positive/negative — and each category maps to a clear dietary action.

• Elevated (high antibody reaction): a high IgG response — the primary trigger candidates. Action: eliminate for at least 3 months, substituting foods from the NORMAL list in the same food group.
• Borderline (moderate reaction): may contribute to symptoms but less likely to be primary triggers. Action: reduce and rotate — limit to twice per week with 3–4 days between, for 3 months.
• Normal (no significant reaction): unlikely to be triggering symptoms. Action: eat without restriction (unless a prior adverse reaction or a known IgE allergy).

Organized two ways

The full report shows every tested food with its U/mL value and colour-coded tier, organized by Order of Reactivity (strongest reactions at the top, to see priorities) and by Food Groups (alphabetical within categories, to find replacements).

A structured 5-stage program

The accompanying guidebook walks through exactly what to do with the results — most IgG tests stop at the report; this one ships with a complete dietary protocol.

Stage 4 (Repair) matters as much as elimination: testing positive to a high number of foods may indicate increased intestinal permeability, and repairing gut health addresses the cause rather than only the symptoms.

• 1. Remove — eliminate ELEVATED foods entirely (3 months).
• 2. Rotate — limit BORDERLINE foods to twice/week (3 months).
• 3. Replace — substitute NORMAL alternatives from the same food groups (ongoing).
• 4. Repair — gut-healing foods, supplements and lifestyle (throughout).
• 5. Reintroduce — one food every 5 days, monitoring symptoms (after 3 months).

Where the evidence is strongest

Research has linked IgG-guided dietary intervention to symptom improvements particularly in irritable bowel syndrome and migraine. Clinicians report improvements across a wider symptom range, but the strongest evidence is concentrated in these two areas — IBS (bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, flatulence, fatigue, nausea, cramps and abdominal pain) and migraine (headache frequency and severity, associated nausea, vomiting, post-migraine fatigue).

Important considerations

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding (immune suppression can affect results) — wait until 4–6 weeks after birth or until breastfeeding ends.
• Not recommended for children under 2 (the infant gut is more permeable and the immune system still developing).
• Not suitable during chemotherapy, radiotherapy, antibody/biologic therapy or other immunosuppression — these suppress antibody production.
• Foods completely avoided for >3 months may drop below detection — reintroduce daily portions for one week before sampling (unless a known allergy).
• This is not an IgE allergy test — continue avoiding any known IgE-allergen foods regardless of results.
• It does not diagnose celiac disease (requires anti-tTG / anti-Gliadin) or lactose intolerance (an enzyme deficiency, not an immune response).

Technology & what it measures

The test measures IgG-mediated immune reactions (Type III hypersensitivity) to food proteins using FoodPrint® microarray methodology — food extracts printed onto nitrocellulose pads, measured by high-resolution scanner and calibrated against standards. It does not identify IgE-mediated food allergies, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, histamine or other chemical sensitivities. Professional guidance is advised when interpreting results and planning dietary changes — particularly for a child.

• Patients with broad food-related symptoms — fatigue, headaches, bloating, skin issues, mood — who want a wider picture than an IBS-specific test.
• For diagnosed IBS, inFoods® IBS is the more targeted, clinically-validated option.
