About this test

The Food & Drink Reactivity Test combines both IgE Allergy Testing and IgG Intolerance Testing to provide a comprehensive understanding of your body's response to different foods and drinks.

Why test for both allergies and intolerances?

  • IgE Allergy Testing detects immediate immune responses to specific foods, which can result in symptoms like rashes, swelling, difficulty breathing, or digestive issues. These reactions typically occur within minutes or hours of consumption and may require medical attention.

  • IgG Intolerance Testing identifies delayed immune responses to foods, which can take hours or even days to appear. Intolerances are often associated with chronic or recurring symptoms such as bloating, headaches, fatigue, or joint pain.


By testing for both, this dual analysis provides a complete picture of your food reactivity, helping you identify not just severe allergies but also subtler intolerances that may impact your day-to-day well-being.

Common symptoms that may overlap

  • Digestive Issues: Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, or stomach cramps.
  • Skin Reactions: Rashes, eczema, or hives.
  • Fatigue: Persistent tiredness or lack of energy.
  • Respiratory Problems: Sneezing, nasal congestion, or shortness of breath.
  • Headaches or Migraines: Recurring or unexplained.
  • Joint or Muscle Pain: Chronic aches without an obvious cause.

This mix of allergy and intolerance testing empowers you with knowledge about what your body thrives on and what it struggles with, helping you achieve optimal health.
