Food Allergy and Intolerance tests are the same test as it's only a synonyms play. Its intent is the same for a person who is searching for this term in search.
70% of your immune system is located in your gut. When you eat a food that you are sensitive to, it triggers an IgG antibody immune response, which can be identified through IgG testing. Your body thinks the food is a threat and works overtime to defend itself. This can lead to symptoms throughout your body – not just in your gut. Food sensitivities have been linked to everything from irritable bowel syndrome, bloating and weight changes to headaches, skin conditions and fatigue.
It is therefore almost impossible to find out which ingredients are causing you problems without a test. With a test, you can find out exactly which foods trigger an IgG reaction. You can then safely try to eliminate the foods with high reactivity from your diet, which can help reduce immune stress and promote gut healing
Although this is not uncommon, it is not a false positive result, but a 'cross-reaction' with another food. Some foods contain identical antigens (food proteins), even if they are not related and/or do not belong to the same food group. These identical food proteins are recognized by the same antibody, which leads to an INCREASED result in IgG testing
The foods we eat often contain ingredients that we are not familiar with, especially if they are highly processed. The food intolerance IgG antibody test is based on the immune system's ability to produce antibodies in response to certain foods. If a food has been avoided for more than 3 months, it is likely that the IgG antibody levels will not be sufficient to be detected by the test and may give a NORMAL result in IgG testing.
To test the intolerance of a particular food, it should be included in the diet daily or at least every other day for 4-6 weeks before the test. However, if the food in question is known to cause extreme symptoms/discomfort, it should not be reintroduced. If there is no improvement after three months of changing your diet according to the test results, it is unlikely that meal intolerance is the cause of your symptoms and other investigations should be carried out.
A test allows you to accurately identify the foods triggering an IgG response. You may then choose to safely trial removing your high-reactivity foods from your diet, which may help to reduce immune load and contribute to gut healing.

FAQs
Food Intolerance test
No. We can do tests with the pre set panels
A food allergy affects the immune system, where even a small amount of that food triggers a range of severe symptoms, which can even be life threatening in some cases. A food intolerance, on the other hand, usually only affects the digestive system and causes less serious symptoms (eg: lactose intolerance).
If you feel like you have certain symptoms that may be related to food, eg: uneasiness after meals, bloating, nausea, headaches/indigestion after consuming certain foods, this test is for you. We cover an extensive range of foods that could potentially trigger such a response in your body.
This is a test that helps measure your body’s immune response to certain foods. A higher than normal IgG reactivity could indicate a possibility that your symptoms could be caused by a specific food. The test will categorise foods into “elevated”, “borderline” and “normal” based on the antibody reaction that was detected. Our nutritionist can then work with you to tailor a diet plan for you accordingly.
It is occasionally observed that patients react to foods that they are convinced they have never eaten. Although not unusual, it is not attributable to a false positive result, but instead a 'cross-reaction' with another food. Some foods contain identical antigens (food proteins), even though they are not related to each other and/or do not belong to the same food group. These identical food proteins will be detected by the same antibody, thus producing an ELEVATED result. The food we eat often contains ingredients which we are unaware of, especially if it is highly processed, and so we may be consuming foods such as Agar Agar on a daily basis and this could be the reason for a reaction when the Food Intolerance test is done.
The Food Intolerance IgG antibody test is based on the immune systems ability to produce antibodies in response to certain foods. If a food has been avoided for more than 3 months, it is likely that IgG antibody levels will be insufficient To be detected by the test and may give a NORMAL result. To test intolerance to a certain food, It should be included in the daily diet, or at least every other day, for 4-6 weeks before testing. However, if the food concerned is known to cause extreme symptoms/discomfort, do not reintroduce it
If, after changing your diet according to the test results, improvements have not been achieved after 3 months, food intolerance is unlikely to be the cause of your symptoms and other investigations should be undertaken. Results of the Food Intolerance IgG antibody test are intended as a guide to diet alteration only and should be complementary to advice from a healthcare professional.
Same foods may cause a classic allergic reaction involving the production of IgE antibodies (Type l allergy). These will not be detected by the Food Intolerance test as it detects igG antibodies. There are also many foods that can cause a reaction in the body without involving the immune system, but produce symptoms similar to IgG reactions amines found in chocolate, cheese and red wine may cause migraines; some food additives such as tartrazine, can trigger hives, rashes and asthma; monosodium glutamate (MSG) found in restaurant/take-away food can produce sweating and dizziness; Nightshade alkaloids in potatoes, tomatoes and peppers may affect the joints. Food intolerance may also be due to a deficiency of a particular enzyme, such as in lactose intolerance. Avoid foods if you suspect they are causing adverse affects.
