Question 1

What does this test check for?

Accepted Answer

The test measures your body’s IgG immune response to a wide range of common foods. Raised IgG levels may indicate that certain foods are causing inflammation or low-grade intolerance symptoms.

Question 2

What symptoms can food intolerances cause?

Accepted Answer

Common symptoms include bloating, fatigue, skin issues, brain fog, headaches, joint pain, mood changes, and digestive discomfort. These often appear hours or even days after eating the problem food.

Question 3

How is the test done?

Accepted Answer

This is a simple at-home finger-prick blood test. You'll collect a small sample using the provided kit and send it to the lab in the prepaid envelope.

Question 4

Is it the same as a food allergy test?

Accepted Answer

No. Food allergies involve an IgE immune reaction, which can cause immediate and severe symptoms. This test looks for IgG reactions, which are delayed and typically cause long-term or subtle symptoms.

Question 5

How long until I get my results?

Accepted Answer

Results are available within approximately 3 weeks of your sample arriving at the lab. You’ll get a personalised report explaining your results and food guidance.

Question 6

Do I need to change my diet before taking the test?

Accepted Answer

No. You should continue eating your normal diet before testing, as avoiding foods may affect your results.

Question 7

Will I get a food plan with my results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your report includes clear guidance on which foods to avoid, limit, or reintroduce, helping you make simple changes to feel better naturally.

Question 8

Is this test suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

This test is best suited for adults and older teens. For children, please contact us first to discuss suitability and support.

Question 9

What is the gut microbiome?

Accepted Answer

Your gut microbiome is the collection of trillions of bacteria living in your digestive system. These microbes influence digestion, immunity, inflammation, mood, and overall health.

Question 10

What does this test measure?

Accepted Answer

It analyses your stool sample using advanced genetic sequencing to identify the types and balance of bacteria in your gut. The report highlights imbalances and how they may be impacting your health.

Question 11

How do I take the test?

It’s an at-home stool test. You’ll collect a small sample using the easy-to-use kit, then send it to the lab using prepaid return postage.

Question 12

Is it messy or difficult?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. The kit comes with clear instructions and everything you need. The process is quick, clean, and discreet.

Question 13

What do I get in my results?

Accepted Answer

You’ll receive a 30+ page personalised report that includes your gut profile, potential imbalances, and a tailored food plan based on over 300 foods.

Question 14

Will it tell me if I have a specific disease?

Accepted Answer

No — this is not a diagnostic test. It provides insights into how your gut health may be influencing other areas of your wellbeing and helps guide natural support options.

Question 15
