Do you often experience food-related symptoms like headaches, stomach pain, or diarrhea? If you suspect certain foods might be the culprit, but aren’t sure where to start, our Food Sensitivity Test can help.

This test measures your body’s IgG immune response to 96 common foods to identify potential triggers. It’s important to note that this test is different from food allergy tests, which focus on IgE antibodies and typically cause immediate, severe reactions. Food sensitivities involve a different antibody and often produce slower, less severe symptoms. Additionally, this test doesn’t diagnose lactose intolerance, IBS, or celiac disease.

Common symptoms associated with food sensitivities include bloating, headaches, indigestion, gastrointestinal distress, and stomach or abdominal pain.

To accurately assess your body’s reaction to a specific food, it’s recommended to consume it regularly for about 4-6 weeks before taking the test.

The results of your UM Diagnostics Food Sensitivity Test are intended to guide a temporary elimination diet with an add-back challenge. This process can help identify potential food triggers contributing to unwanted symptoms.

We understand the risks associated with food elimination and restriction. It’s crucial to note that this test is not recommended if you have or are recovering from an eating disorder (such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder).

Your test results are not meant for weight loss. Maintaining a balanced diet is essential for overall health. Strict food limitations based on test results can hinder your ability to consume necessary nutrients and calories.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult with their healthcare provider before considering elimination diets. Due to specific nutritional requirements during these periods, it’s essential to seek professional advice when experiencing unwanted symptoms.

UM Diagnostics prioritizes the well-being of individuals 18 years and older. To ensure responsible testing, we restrict registration and testing for those below this age limit. This information is clearly stated on our website ([invalid URL removed]) in the shopping cart, Terms of Use, FAQ section, and within the physical test kits themselves.

Class scale from 0 to 3, with 0 indicating normal reactivity and 3 representing high reactivity. This comprehensive assessment provides a foundation for understanding your body’s relationship with food.

Your results include tailored recommendations for next steps, guidance on prioritizing a temporary elimination diet, and valuable educational resources.
