The Food Sensitivity Test is a blood test that helps identify foods your immune system may be reacting to. Unlike a classic food allergy (which is usually an immediate and obvious reaction), food sensitivities can cause delayed symptoms—sometimes appearing hours or even days after eating certain foods. This can make it difficult to pinpoint which foods might be contributing to ongoing health issues.
The test measures IgG and IgA antibodies against a wide range of common foods and is one of the most accurate in the world. This test is available via Cyrex Lab,based in the US, and there are 4 options available:
–Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity $349.00
–Gluten-Associated Cross-Reactive Foods and Foods Sensitivity $309.00
–Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen $535.00
–Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen (smaller panel) $390.00
Please note that the price is paid to the lab directly, and it is in dollars, but you also need to add the blood draw fee (these will depend on your location).
Elevated IgG and IgA levels suggest that your immune system may be responding to those foods, which can lead to chronic, low-grade inflammation and a variety of symptoms. Common symptoms that may suggest the Food Sensitivity Test could be helpful:
- Bloating, gas, or other digestive discomfort
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Brain fog, trouble concentrating, or memory issues
- Headaches or migraines
- Joint pain or muscle stiffness
- Fatigue or low energy
- Skin problems like acne, eczema, or rashes
- Mood swings, anxiety, or low mood
- Sinus congestion or chronic postnasal drip
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
If you suspect certain foods may be affecting how you feel but can’t quite figure out which ones, the Food Sensitivity Test can be a helpful tool. It provides guidance on what foods might be contributing to your symptoms so you can make more informed changes to your diet, reduce inflammation, and support better overall health.
