Get to know the most frequently asked questions and answers about the FOODTEST Plus food intolerance test to gain comprehensive information about how the test works, its benefits, and the testing process.
General Questions
Does the FOODTESTplus measure the total amount of IgG?
Yes!
Modern food sensitivity tests like FOODTESTplus measure the total amount of IgG (antibodies produced against foods). Laboratory tests that only measure IgG4 (which makes up just 1-4% of the total IgG) are NOT suitable for detecting food sensitivity.
How can I pay for my order?
With simple and modern secure online credit card payment.
Can I transfer the ordered FOODTESTplus test to someone else?
Of course! You can even purchase the test as a gift.
How long can I use the test?
You can use the test within 90 days of purchase.
Do I need to fast before the blood test?
No, you can eat and drink anything beforehand.
What medications can affect the test results?
Steroid-containing and immunosuppressant medications can affect the test results. However, if you need to take these continuously, do not stop before the test, as the test will show your condition while on the medication. If you do not need to take such medications continuously, it is advisable to stop taking them 2 months before the test to allow them to clear from your system.
From what age is it recommended to do the test for children?
The FOODTESTplus test can be performed on children under two years old, but the results may not be sufficiently informative. The Food Intolerance Center is often consulted by parents of infants with digestive issues, abdominal pain, eczema, or rashes.
In such young children, the immune system is not fully developed, which means the FOODTESTplus may not provide an accurate picture of food sensitivity. However, if a child under two years old has undergone all medical examinations without any identified cause for their symptoms or solution for their complaints, it may be worth considering food intolerance.
For children, it is crucial to follow the guidance of a professional. It is important not to create a diet without the help of a qualified dietitian, as it is essential to ensure the diet remains balanced—without lacking vitamins, microelements, or macroelements!
Is the FOODTESTplus test recommended for congenital metabolic disorders or congenital gastrointestinal diseases?
The FOODTESTplus test should only be used in cases of congenital metabolic disorders or congenital gastrointestinal diseases after consulting with the laboratory conducting the test.
