FACTest Food Panel  over 195 Foods

Food intolerance is difficult to detect, often involving common foods, and can be an important factor in many acute and chronic conditions. Symptoms may range from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), muscle and joint aches, fatigue, weight problems, hyperactivity, skin irritations and anxiety.

Around 170 different foods and food groups, including common additives, seasonings and beverages, are covered in this direct cellular assay that can detect allergies caused by a number of different processes. These include specific allergic (IgE) reactions and food sensitivity (non-IgE mediated) reactions such as those produced by histamine and leukotriene release. The test also measures the release of chemical mediators from white blood cells once they have been stimulated and incubated with the food allergens, making this a direct and therefore very accurate assessment of allergies and intolerance’s.

The method used to combine both Food Allergy and Intolerance testing involves the use of the FACTest (Food Allergen Cellular Test)
