Description
What are food intolerances?
Food intolerances are unwanted reactions to certain foods. Consuming these foods can cause gastrointestinal issues, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and other digestive problems. It is important to note that food intolerances are not the same as food allergies. The main difference is that an immune system response triggers allergy symptoms. With food intolerances, reactions are generally predictable and increase based on how much food is consumed. In contrast, allergic reactions can have unpredictable severity and often occur with little exposure or even contact with the skin.
What is the purpose of this test?
Order this Comprehensive Wellness Panel #1 Test Kit, which identifies intolerances to 200 foods, 30 food additives/colorings/preservatives, and 20 molds. This Comprehensive Wellness #1 Panel helps determine which foods or substances may trigger digestive system issues, such as inflammation and other related symptoms. In addition, this panel measures changes in the size and volume of white blood cells (WBCs) in response to challenges with foods. Individuals should note that this is a tolerance test, not an allergy test.

50 Functional Foods and Medicinal Herbs, Add on Test...
The 50 Functional Foods and Medicinal Herbs, Add-on Panel tests for 50 functional foods and medicinal herbs. Functional foods are foods that have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition. Oatmeal is a familiar example of a functional food because it naturally contains soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels. Some foods are modified to have health benefits. An example is orange juice that's been fortified with calcium for bone health. This is a tolerance test, not an allergy test.
