Everlywell's at-home food sensitivity and tolerance test is designed to measure your body's immune response to the 96 foods within the scope of this at-home testing kit. When you react adversely to a food type, you produce antibodies called IgG (immunoglobulin G), these act as an alarm, they bind themselves to the food alerting your immune system to respond to the potential danger – these are different to IgE antibodies that are released when you have an allergic reaction.

Who Should Test
Your diet can be a great place to start if you're experiencing symptoms of poor health, so illuminating food sensitivity could be the answer to certain symptoms. If you feel you are experiencing symptoms of serious illness, then consulting a professional is always the best course of action, but for lesser concerns, food could be the source of the problem. The following are common complaints closely linked with either poor diet or food tolerance issues.
- Headaches & Migraines
- Bloating
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Slight stomach or abdominal pain
- Indigestion
- Gastrointestinal distress
Food intolerance as opposed to poor diet will trigger your body's immune system to respond, which is where a food sensitivity test, might detect irregular levels of IgG antibodies. This test is ideal for those who believe they could be experiencing a food tolerance complaint.
