Asian Food Intolerance Test (IgG + IgA) - 96 Foods
A food intolerance response takes place in the gut, and it occurs when you are unable to properly breakdown the food. This could be due to enzyme deficiencies, sensitivity to food additives or reactions to naturally occurring chemicals in foods. Often people can eat small amounts of the food without causing problems.
The Food Intolerance Check assesses your response to 96 foods. Your blood is screened for IgG antibodies to these foods using the ELISA method.
This is a finger prick blood spot test that doesn't require a visit to a collection centre.
Note that The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) does not recommend IgG food intolerance testing as a diagnostic tool for food-related symptoms. According to ASCIA, the presence of IgG antibodies to specific foods does not prove the existence of a clinical intolerance or sensitivity. Clinical evaluation, medical history, and elimination diets are the preferred methods for identifying food intolerances or sensitivities.
Weighted toward the foods you actually eat
If your everyday diet is built around rice, soy, tropical fruits and Asian staples, a general Western panel may not reflect what is on your plate. This 96-food panel keeps the core dairy, grain and vegetable staples but broadens the tropical fruit range - jackfruit, persimmon, mango, cantaloupe, cherry, date and watermelon - along with a wider rice and soy profile and the spices common to Asian cooking.
If you eat a mixed Western diet, the general 96-food panel is likely the better fit.
Both markers, one order
This option screens both delayed-type IgG responses and mucosal IgA responses across the same panel, in a single order — the fullest picture we can give. It is chosen by people who would rather not order a second test later, and by practitioners who want both datasets side by side. These markers reflect your body’s antibody response and exposure to foods. They are a guide to work through with a practitioner, not a diagnosis on their own, and they are different from IgE allergy testing - they do not diagnose a food allergy or coeliac disease.
IgG - Delayed-type antibody responses. Our most popular marker and the usual default.
IgA - Mucosal, gut-lining responses. Often relevant where digestive symptoms dominate.
Your results also come with a suggested Personal Rotation Diet Guideline designed to reduce food sensitivities, enhance nutrient diversity, and support gut health. This involves rotating different food groups every 3–4 days to minimise immune system reactivity, prevent overexposure to specific allergens, and promote a diverse gut microbiome.
Following receipt of your results, consider a teleconsult with our dietitian for nutrition and meal planning advice in the context of your current health goals.
