For years I have tried elimination diets to get to the root cause of some digestion and immune issues, but I would have never eliminated egg whites (we owned chickens) or garlic. In fact, those two items were keystones in several of the protocols I followed for a healthy diet. Less than a week after eliminating garlic I can see a difference already. My issues weren't to the level of requiring medical intervention; I just want to be the healthiest version of me. If you have "food issues" consider this quick, non-invasive, do-it-in-your-home test as another step along the path to the healthiest version of you.

The product was easy to use-just take everything in the package and assemble where you feel comfortable. It comes complete with sterile lancets, alcohol wipes, cotton and bandages. You wash and dry your hands. Take the alcohol wipe and clean the tip of any finger (I suggest the index finger) apply the lancet to the cleaned area and hit the trigger mechanism. Express blood from the finger and fill the card that is enclosed as directed. Wipe the finger clean, bandage and then package the sample. All the shipping materials are enclosed. It couldn't be easier! They'll alert you when they receive your sample and email you with the results that you can download and print out for your doctor. Easy and fast.

Would love to see more of the science on the website. I want to believe that these are real results but too many medical and functional medicine doctors dispute efficacy of results and approach, so would be good if science behind it addresses counterpoint to these claims.

I used the food sensitivity test with such anxiousness. I have been on a gluten free diet by my own decision to help eliminate my severe migraine headaches. It worked well and 3 years going strong. I figured that there may be other items that I have issues with as well, so I ordered the test and was amazed at the results! I even shared the results with my dermatologist during my visit today!

My results came back very insightful. Some of what I thought I was sensitive to. I'm working with a functional health practitioner who said this test is one of the good ones. I did not like the process to go about getting this test done and submitted. I followed the directions three separate times before blood collection and really had a hard time getting enough blood needed. I even had help from someone else. My test was prolonged because of this and then I had to wait longer to get my results because of high test volume. Happy with my outcome just wasn't so happy about the difficult process. A suggestion would be to enclose two collection cards instead of one when first sending the test. And being allowed to combine the cards if there is not enough blood in each dot on card one.

I was just diagnosed with IBS and was wary about which foods would be triggering. I am a poor graduate student though and did not want to pay for food testing that was super expensive. This was a super easy and SUPER quick process and I appreciate it a lot!

Minimal information provided with results. No explanation on the range provided. I am currently avoiding the foods reported that i had a "mild" reaction too (again no additional information on what this means) and I do seem to be feeling better. More time will tell.

The basis of these tests is the detection of antibodies against specific types of food. The positive side is that the blood collection kit was easy to use, easy to ship back to the testing lab, and pretty quickly evaluated for my results. However, it was difficult to assess the results, that in my case included high levels of antibodies to cow's milk and almonds. Neither of those foods caused me any indigestion. Those findings led me to seek more information about such tests from the NIH website, that concluded: "...Physicians should caution patients about the controversy surrounding testing for food sensitivity. Recent position papers from European and American allergy and immunology societies have emphasized the limitations and potential misuse of IgG4 testing, indicating that these tests are not appropriate for making a diagnosis of food allergy." In other words, these tests are unreliable for the understanding of food intolerances..

I was really impressed with how fast I got the results back. Before taking the test I suspected that I had some level of gluten intolerance, so whenever I would try to avoid gluten, I would end up consuming a lot of eggs (for breakfast, in particular). But my stomach would still feel bad, so I figured I wasn't gluten intolerant. Little did I know that my sensitivities were from gluten, wheat, AND egg whites! Since taking the test I've ruled out all three, and have noticed a significant difference in my overall physical well-being. It's so helpful to know and understand what was causing my stomach problems for all these years!

By no means does it give you any diagnosis or full blown answers to possible issues BUT it is a solid starting point to give you a starting point for moving forward and feeling better. There were some things that didn't surprise me and others that did.
