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 #3 Test Kit, which identifies intolerances to 150 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.
