Food Sensitivity Panels

Food sensitivity testing identifies delayed immune reactions that may appear hours or even days after exposure. Unlike food allergies, sensitivities can develop at any stage of life and may be influenced by diet repetition, stress, or underlying health conditions.

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 pain and inflammation
  • Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
  • Behavioral changes or mood swings
  • Unexplained weight changes

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 identify foods that trigger IgG responses. Patients may select to purchase food sensitivity testing along with a Wellness Plan — a personalized guide to help make dietary and lifestyle changes based on 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.
