Food Intolerance Test
What is Food Intolerance Test?
A food intolerance test is a type of medical test that aims to identify foods that may cause adverse reactions in an individual’s body. The test is designed to measure the body’s response to specific foods or food components, such as lactose or gluten, and determine whether an individual is intolerant to those foods.
Food intolerance occurs when the body has difficulty digesting certain foods, resulting in symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, or skin rashes. At Nine Elms, our most comprehensive food and drink intolerance* test to find out whether you have an intolerance to 200 food and drink ingredients. Simply take a finger-prick blood sample.
It’s important to note that food intolerance is different from a food allergy, which involves an immune system response and can be life-threatening. Food intolerance is usually less severe, but it can still affect an individual’s quality of life, and identifying and avoiding trigger foods can help manage symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before undergoing any food intolerance testing and making significant changes to your diet.
HOW IT WORKS
Simple Steps To A Healthier You
Unlike other tests on the market, we measure all four subtypes of food-specific IgG (1-4) compared to some which test only for IgG4. This is important as it ensures all of the different food-specific IgG reactions are detected.

Collect 2-3 drops of blood and post your sample to our laboratory.
