Food Sensitivity Test
Understand your body's response to selected foods
A Food Sensitivity Test analyses a blood sample against a panel of foods to identify measured immune responses to those foods.

What can the Food Sensitivity Test tell you?
Your report shows the foods included in the test panel and the measured response for each food. These findings can be considered alongside your symptoms, eating habits and dietary history to identify patterns worth discussing with a healthcare or nutrition professional.
Why do it?
If you experience recurring symptoms and are unsure whether your diet may be contributing, the results can provide additional information for discussion.
The aim is not simply to remove foods from your diet, but to understand the findings in the context of your overall diet and health.
Who may benefit?
This may be relevant if you:
experience recurring symptoms that you suspect may be food-related
want to review your response to a range of foods
want additional information to discuss with a healthcare or nutrition professional
What to expect
A small blood sample is collected and tested against the selected food panel. Your results can then be reviewed to understand what they mean in the context of your diet and symptoms.
Important: Food sensitivity is not the same as food allergy
A food allergy is an immune-mediated reaction that can cause potentially serious symptoms. Food allergy assessment involves a clinical history and, where appropriate, allergy-specific testing.
A Food Sensitivity Test should not be used to diagnose or rule out a food allergy.
If you suspect you have a food allergy, speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
