Understanding Food Intolerance Test


What is Food Intolerance Test?

The Food Intolerance Test is a blood test that helps identify food intolerances by measuring the levels of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies (specific proteins that protect us from possible infections) in the blood. The test results aid in deciding the course of treatment along with diet and lifestyle adjustments that suit your specific health needs.

A food intolerance indicates that your digestive system has a hard time digesting (breaking down) certain foods. It can be due to a lack of enzymes needed to digest certain foods, or sometimes, as a reaction to additives or naturally occurring compounds in foods. Your body mistakes these food products as a threat and produces IgG antibodies which can result in inflammation and discomfort in the stomach.

The Food Intolerance Test is an IgG mediated reaction unlike food allergy which is IgE mediated. It looks for the IgG antibodies that may be produced hours or days after eating the offending food, as a slow response of the digestive system to certain foods that are difficult to digest. By identifying these specific foods, doctors can suggest dietary modifications, and formulate your treatment plan.

You may need the Food Intolerance Test if you notice any specific reactions/symptoms after eating a certain food. The symptoms may include diarrhea, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, itching, skin rashes, etc. The test is also recommended if there are risk factors for developing food intolerance such as a family history of food intolerance. Understanding your specific food sensitivities, the results, and their implications can provide crucial insights into what triggers your food intolerance and facilitate timely and effective management strategies. It should be noted that watchful eating is the best way to prevent food allergies.

Usually, no special preparation is needed for this test. Follow your doctor's instructions closely. Also, inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are on, as they might affect the test results. 

Lab test results may vary across different laboratories. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation; therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results, and always consult a doctor for a proper understanding of the test results.

Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample for this test is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.

What is Food Intolerance Test used for?

The Food Intolerance Test is done: 

  • When you experience symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea,nausea, constipation, and abdominal pain, skin rashes, itching, migraines, and fatigue after eating certain food.
  • If there are risk factors such as a family history of food intolerance, existing food allergies, or other allergies such as eczema or hay fever.
  • To help individuals with symptoms of sensitivity to eliminate specific food from their diet.

What does Food Intolerance Test measure?

Contains 215 tests

The Food Intolerance Test helps detect hidden food intolerances by measuring the levels of immunoglobulin-G (IgG) antibodies (specific proteins that protect us from possible infections) in the blood. IgG antibodies may be produced hours or days after the offending food was eaten as a slow response of the digestive system to certain foods that you may be allergic to. 

Early detection allows for the timely implementation of strategies to avoid trigger foods, leading to better symptom management and enhanced overall well-being. Additionally, addressing food intolerances early can prevent potential complications and long-term health problems associated with continued exposure to intolerant foods. By taking proactive steps to manage food intolerances, individuals can enjoy better digestion, less discomfort, and a better overall quality of life.

Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Food Intolerance Test


Frequently Asked Questions about Food Intolerance Test

Q. What is the importance of the Food Intolerance Test?

The Food Intolerance Test helps identify foods that your body may have trouble digesting. It may help explain persistent digestive issues, and the information can be used to modify your diet and potentially alleviate allergic symptoms.

Q. What preparation is needed for the Food Intolerance Test?

Usually, no special preparation is required for the Food Intolerance Test. Also, inform your doctor about any dietary restrictions, recent illnesses, or ongoing medications before the test.

Q. When should the Food Intolerance Test be done?

The Food Intolerance Test can be done if you experience recurring digestive symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, or feeling unwell after consuming certain foods.

Q. What does the Food Intolerance Test measure?

The Food Intolerance Test measures the level of certain antibodies called immunoglobulin G (IgG) in your blood which may be produced in response to eating certain foods.

Q. How often should the Food Intolerance Test be done?

The frequency of the Food Intolerance Test depends on your specific situation and your doctor's recommendation. If you have made significant changes to your diet and want to assess the effect, the test could be repeated.

Q. Can food intolerance be cured?

Unfortunately, there is no cure for food intolerance. However, avoiding foods that cause symptoms associated with food intolerance can significantly reduce symptoms and improve the quality of your life.

Q. Does a positive result mean I am allergic to the food?

No, food intolerance is different from a food allergy. The test identifies foods that you may have difficulty digesting, not foods that trigger an immune response.

Q. What is the difference between food intolerance and food allergy?

Food allergy and food intolerance are commonly confused, as symptoms of food intolerance occasionally resemble those of food allergy. However, food intolerance does not involve the immune system and does not cause severe allergic reactions (known as anaphylaxis) which can be seen in food allergy.
