    Food Detective Food Intolerance Self Testing Kit, 59 Foods
    Why do I need this test?
    Surveys have shown that up to 45% of the population may suffer from some form of food intolerance. Food intolerance, or sensitivity, has been linked to many chronic and persistent problems such as: headaches, intestinal symptoms, skin problems, behavioural changes and asthma - amongst others. This test measures specific IgG antibodies to identify foods to which you may be sensitive. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates a possible sensitivity to a particular food.
    It is quite difficult to differentiate between a true food allergy and food intolerance. Food intolerances like food allergies, are adverse reactions to foods. However, food intolerances do not involve your immune system. The actual number of those suffering from allergic reactions to foods is relatively small. The symptoms they experience are usually food intolerances. Most reactions are food intolerances and not life-threatening but can cause unpleasant symptoms. The symptoms of food intolerance can be delayed for many hours or even days and for this reason it is often hard to identify the problem foods.
    What is the difference between food allergy and food intolerance?
    A classical food allergy such as peanut or shellfish allergy is usually characterised by an immediate and often severe reaction to exposure to the offending food. Symptoms include sneezing, rashes, skin irritation, swelling, runny nose, fatigue, and while allergic reactions to food can vary considerably in their severity, some may be fatal. Such allergic reactions usually involve IgE antibodies.
    A food intolerance tends to be characterised by a delayed onset and maybe due to insufficiency of an enzyme as in lactose intolerance, to a pharmacological effect such as that caused by the tyramine in red wine, or to the production of IgG antibodies to the offending foods. The symptoms of IgG induced food intolerance can occur up to 3 days after eating the food concerned, making it very difficult to determine which foods are causing the problem.
    What are the symptoms of food intolerance?
    Food intolerance can produce a variety of symptoms and can affect almost any organ. Often patients report multiple symptoms such as gut pain with headaches and skin rash, but some of the common symptoms include:- Anxiety, attention deficit disorder, constipation, diarrhoea, headaches, insomnia, migraines, water retention, arthritis, fibromyalgia, asthma, abdominal bloating, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease, itchy skin, weight control problems, hyperactivity disorder and irritable bowel syndrome.
    How good is this test?
    This home test is a fully CE approved (this means the Government have checked the test to ensure it is fully approved for home use prior to it being allowed to be sold). It has been developed by top UK nutritional scientists for use at home and requires just a pin prick of blood. This test looks for the specific IgG antibodies for 59 separate foods. It has been developed from exactly the same test that is carried out in the laboratory. We have tried the lock of hair test but found the results were far less accurate for any kind of test whether for drugs abuse, allergies or intolerance. The testing based on blood is considerably more accurate - if in any doubt just ask your doctor.
    What foods are tested for?
    This test checks for food intolerances against the following 59 main foods known to cause food intolerances :-
    WHEAT, GLUTEN, OAT, RICE, CORN, RYE, DURUM WHEAT, WHOLE MILK, WHOLE EGG, SHELLFISH MIX (SHRIMP, PRAWN, CRAB, LOBSTER & MUSSEL)
    ALMOND, BRAZIL, CASHEW, TEA, WALNUT, PEANUT, SOYA BEAN, COCOA BEAN, MUSHROOM, YEAST, CHICKEN, BEEF, LAMB, PORK, WHITE FISH MIX
    (HADDOCK, COD, PLAICE), FRESHWATER FISH MIX (SALMON, TROUT), TUNA, BROCCOLI, CABBAGE, CARROT, LEEK, POTATO, CELERY, CUCUMBER,
    PEPPERS (GREEN, RED AND YELLOW), LEGUME MIX (PEA, LENTIL AND HARICOT BEAN), GRAPEFRUIT, MELON MIX (CANTELOUPE AND WATER MELON),
    APPLE, BLACKCURRANT, OLIVE, ORANGE AND LEMON, STRAWBERRY, TOMATO, GINGER, GARLIC
    For example if you have a food intolerance to trout then it will show a positive result solely against freshwater fish.
    Is the test difficult to use?
    The test is designed to be simple and takes about 40 minutes to complete. Essentially the test involves taking a pin prick of blood from the finger with the lancet provided (2 are included) and then a dilutent is added. This diluted blood is then added to a special tray that will detect if anti-bodies exist against the foods being tested. Special reagents are then added to the tray to get a clear visual result. A positive result is clearly shown by a blue filled circle for each food type tested and there are 2 control panels that will confirm if the test has been carried out correctly.
    What do I do if I get a positive result?
    In general you you should eliminate each food that shows a blue positive response. However, you may find that in some cases there are several foods that show positive for a food intolerance and this may make it difficult to eliminate them all at once. In this case you should completely avoid all foods that have a strong blue colour, whilst the foods that produce a lighter blue colour should be eaten on a 4 day rotation basis.
    You should also discuss the results with your doctor so that he is aware of your food intolerance.
    Where can I get more information and see the full instructions for the test?
