  • Autoimmune & GI Tests – Includes targeted testing such as Candida – Candida Albicans.
  • Wellness Plans – Can be purchased and delivered alongside test results, providing dietary and lifestyle guidance to support patients in making informed choices.

Specimen & Collection Logistics

  • Specimen Type: Fingerstick blood collection only, using a convenient at-home kit.
  • Collection Instructions: Each kit includes all required materials and step-by-step instructions, allowing patients to self-collect with ease.
  • Kit & Shipping: A pre-addressed return envelope is included in every kit, making it simple for patients to send samples back to the laboratory.
  • Processing Time: Results are typically available within 5–7 business days once the sample is received.

Food Sensitivity Panels

Food sensitivity (IgG) testing measures delayed IgG antibody reactivity that may appear hours or even days after exposure. Unlike food allergies, reported sensitivities can change over time, and some individuals explore whether diet patterns may relate to how they feel.

Common symptoms may include:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Nausea or digestive discomfort (bloating, acid reflux, constipation)
  • Skin issues such as eczema, acne, or rashes
  • Joint discomfort
  • Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
  • Behavioral changes or mood swings
  • Changes in how you feel after meals

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Food allergies (IgE-mediated) cause immediate reactions such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing, and can be life-threatening. Food sensitivities (IgG-mediated) are delayed reactions that can appear hours or even days later, often causing symptoms like digestive upset, fatigue, or skin issues.

Patients use a simple fingerstick collection kit provided by Ulta Lab Tests. Just a few drops of blood are collected on a test card, sealed in the provided pre-addressed return envelope, and mailed back to the laboratory.

The fingerstick is quick and minimally invasive — similar to checking blood sugar. Only a few drops of blood are needed for testing.

Once the lab receives the sample, results are typically available within 5–7 business days.

Results report foods that show elevated IgG reactivity. Patients may select to purchase food sensitivity testing along with a Wellness Plan — a personalized guide to help make dietary and lifestyle choices informed by their results.

Testing may be helpful for individuals experiencing chronic symptoms such as digestive discomfort, fatigue, migraines, skin conditions, joint pain, or unexplained inflammation that may be linked to food sensitivities.

Yes. Both patients and clinicians can order Ulta Lab Tests’ fingerstick Food Sensitivity Panels. Results are delivered securely on the Ulta Lab Tests portal.

No. The Ulta Lab Tests platform is self-pay only. However, HSA and FSA cards are accepted for payment.

The fingerstick blood spot is stable for shipping at room temperature. The pre-addressed return envelope ensures the sample gets back to the lab quickly and securely.
