A food intolerance test is a procedure that helps identify foods that your body might have difficulty digesting or to which you might be intolerant. It involves analysing a small blood sample to look for specific antibodies that your body may produce in response to certain foods.
The test is performed through a simple finger prick to collect a small blood sample. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.
No fasting is required before the test. However, we recommend that you eat a varied diet in the days leading up to the test, including any foods that you suspect might be causing issues, unless you have a known allergy to them.
The actual collection of the blood sample is quick, usually taking just a few minutes. The entire appointment, including consultation, should take no longer than 30 minutes.
The test involves a finger prick, which may cause a brief moment of discomfort, similar to a quick pinch. Most people find it to be only mildly uncomfortable.
Test results are typically available within three working days. You will receive an email with your report, and if you wish, we can schedule a follow-up chat to discuss your results and next steps.
The results will identify specific foods that may be causing intolerance symptoms. This information can help guide dietary choices to improve your health and well-being.
Based on your results, we will provide personalized recommendations. This may include dietary modifications, herbal remedies, or other supportive measures.
