We remind you that independent interpretation of the results is unacceptable, the information provided below is for reference purposes only.

FOX - Food Intolerance Test is a blood test that detects the presence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and evaluates the body’s response to 286 foods and food additives. The test identifies non-immediate food intolerances, which can cause digestive discomfort, inflammation, or other chronic symptoms. It provides detailed information about foods that may be more difficult for the body to tolerate.

Components

• Eggs, dairy products and derivatives - include common sources of animal proteins and dietary fats, often associated with intolerance reactions and digestive discomfort.
• Meat, fish and seafood - include the main sources of animal protein used in basic diets and high-protein nutritional plans.
• Cereals (including gluten) - include wheat, rye, barley, oats, and other grains, important for assessing sensitivity to complex carbohydrates and gluten.
• Legumes, nuts and seeds - include plant-based sources of protein and fats, commonly used in balanced and vegetarian diets.
• Fruits and vegetables - include a wide range of plant-based foods consumed daily and potentially associated with individual food sensitivities.
• Spices and various food products - include ingredients used in food preparation, important for identifying hidden food reactions.

Indications / Purpose

• Persistent digestive issues: If an individual experiences chronic gastrointestinal problems like bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal discomfort, food intolerance testing can help identify potential trigger foods.
• Skin problems: Food intolerances may contribute to various skin conditions such as eczema, rashes, or hives. Testing can help identify and eliminate problematic foods from the diet.
• Unexplained fatigue or headaches: Some individuals may experience fatigue, brain fog, or frequent headaches due to food intolerances. Testing can shed light on potential dietary triggers.
• Autoimmune disorders: Food intolerances have been linked to exacerbating symptoms in certain autoimmune conditions. Testing can guide dietary modifications to manage symptoms.
• Weight management: In some cases, food intolerances may contribute to weight fluctuations or difficulty achieving weight loss goals. Testing can help optimize dietary choices.
• Supporting weight regulation and metabolism
• Preventing chronic inflammation or nonspecific symptoms
• Assisting in creating a personalized diet plan and optimizing lifestyle
