Hi there! Thank you for your question. This test is an food antibody analysis, commonly referred to as a food sensitivity or intolerance test. Using a simple finger-prick sample, we analyze your blood for IgG antibodies to 240 common foods and spices that may be contributing to your symptoms. When elevated antibodies are detected, healthcare professionals, such as physicians and dietitians, often recommend a temporary elimination diet—removing the suspected foods for 3 to 4 weeks to observe for symptom improvement. The foods are then gradually reintroduced to identify any triggers definitively.
This is not a stool test. Stool tests are typically used to detect viruses, bacterial overgrowth, or parasitic infections.
