If you have any or many of these conditions, you can benefit from knowing your food sensitivities. Even if you are not seriously ill, it is always helpful to know which foods might be triggering a negative reaction. In general, if your issues involve inflammation-induced disease, then this test will help you remove the cause of the inflammation.
BUT, you must be willing to put some “skin in the game.” You must be willing to change your diet for at least a month. For instance, this test works great for special- needs kids, but if you can’t control what they’re eating, then it’s a waste of your time and money.
We encourage you to call for a free consultation and then schedule the test. People have different eating habits and certain test panels are more appropriate.
Once you’ve ordered the test, the phlebotomist will call you to schedule a convenient time to draw your blood. He/she will then overnight your samples to the lab. Testing is limited to Monday through Thursday because the lab is sometimes closed on Saturdays.
No fasting is necessary.

Ask about the frequency discount for other test takers

COACHING
Call the office to learn how to remove your reactive foods. Some ingredients are not so obvious to find. For example, did you know gluten can be found in many sauces and even in cosmetics? We will also help you with reintroduction. It’s that simple. Many people have sensitivities to healthy foods that would never be eliminated from your diet.
