Food Allergy Test

Sometimes the foods you eat every single day are the very things quietly making you feel unwell. Bloating after meals, unexplained fatigue, skin flares, and headaches that keep coming back. When nothing seems to add up, a comprehensive food allergy test can finally give you the answers you have been looking for.

The NutraNourish Food Allergy Test Kit uses patented KBMO technology to assess how your immune system responds to specific foods. Unlike basic IgG-only allergy tests that are prone to false positives, this test evaluates multiple immune pathways at once, including IgG subclasses (IgG1 to IgG4), immune complex formation, and complement system activation. This layered approach gives you a much more accurate and clinically reliable picture of what is genuinely triggering inflammation and symptoms in your body.

The test also evaluates gut barrier integrity by analysing markers like zonulin, occludin, Candida, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and IgA antibodies, helping identify whether a compromised gut lining, often called leaky gut, is driving your food reactions and ongoing symptoms.

Understanding the Difference: Food Allergy vs Food Sensitivity vs Food Intolerance

These terms are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.

• Food allergy: an immediate, strong immune reaction (IgE-mediated) that can cause itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing within minutes of eating the trigger food
  
• Food sensitivity: a slower, delayed immune reaction (typically Type III) where symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, or skin issues appear hours or even days after eating the food, making it very hard to identify without testing
  
• Food intolerance: a digestive issue where the stomach cannot properly process certain foods, leading to discomfort and bloating

This test specifically evaluates delayed food sensitivities, the type that most people are walking around with completely unaware.

Available Test Panels

• FIT 22: tests reactions to 22 of the most common everyday foods via a simple blood spot sample. A good starting point for identifying key triggers.
  
• FIT 132 plus Gut Barrier Panel: tests sensitivities to 132 foods and additives and assesses the health and integrity of your gut lining.
  
• FIT 176 plus Gut Barrier Panel: the most comprehensive option, covering 176 foods and additives alongside a full gut barrier assessment. Best for anyone who wants the most complete picture of their food triggers and gut function.
  
• Gut Barrier Panel (standalone): assesses levels of gut dysfunction from simple sensitivity through to active inflammation and advanced leaky gut, using IgG 1-4/C3d and IgA 1-2 markers.
