This most comprehensive wellness test is designed to check sensitivity to 240 foods and 48 airborne allergens to help those looking for answers.
Using few drops of blood with a finger prick, the test will check IgG sensitivity to foods such as dairy, nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits, seafood, meat, poultry, legumes, grains, and spices.
It will also test for airborne irritants and pollen from trees, weeds, grasses, molds, dust-mites, cat & dog dander, cockroaches, and latex.
This test is a combination of our popular Comprehensive Food Sensitivity and Inhalants Tests.

Unlike an allergy test, a sensitivity test measures the body's subtle response through IgG antibodies to common ingredients in the food and airborne particles. These are the items that may not be making you sick but cause discomfort when ingested or inhaled. The Food + Inhalants sensitivity test includes most of the commonly found ingredients in American diet and the air surrounding us.
Once you find out that your body is producing immunoglobulin G (IgG) protein antibodies in response to certain items, you can reduce or eliminate those items. The sensitivity is measured on scale of 0 to 4 (zero means no sensitivity and 4 means high sensitivity).
Common symptoms of sensitivity include bloating, unease, nausea, headache, mood swing, fatigue, red eyes or sneezing. Common examples include lactose intolerance when people feel bloated after consuming milk or constant sneezing from grass pollen.
Testing for sensitivity can help improve quality of life by eliminating or rotating those items on a regular basis. The simplicity of test is that once your results are received, you can eliminate suspect items to confirm how they have been affecting you.

The easiest low-cost way to get tested is from the convenience of your home. Simply order a kit, collect the sample at home, ship it for free to our world class CLIA-certified labs, and find out your results within few days.
A:Except New York and New Jersey this test is available in all 48 states. State regulations in NY, NJ do not allow us to ship the tests to their residents.
A: The kit contains a blood card to collect few drops of blood, a pair of lancets for finger-pricking, instructions on how to collect the sample, and a form requesting basic information including date and time of collection. The directions are straightforward and easy to follow.
A: You will receive the kit within 3-5 business days with a prepaid return envelope. After you ship the sample and it is received by our lab, you get the results within 5-7 business days.
A: The report with your test results will be easy to understand and will have all the necessary details. It will list all the food items you are tested for and the corresponding sensitivity levels on a scale of 0 to 4. Zero means minimal or no sensitivity and four means high sensitivity. You can download a sample report by clicking on 'Get Sample Report' on top of this page.
A: Your test is performed at USBioTek Laboratories, a leader in IgG, IgA, IgE antibody testing. Some people may notice that their results don't match their expectations (e.g., certain known sensitivities from previous testing didn't show up this time, or nothing was flagged).
Here are few other things the lab does to ensure you get the most out of your test.
I. Steps the lab takes to provide the most accurate results:
Every sample runs twice for most accurate results: To consistently deliver the most accurate and repeatable results every sample runs in duplicate. Their advanced robotic testing is fully automated to avoid any human errors and they double check test results for inconsistencies so that you are confident they're accurate.
Every sample runs with well calibrated reference samples: They always confirm the quality of their antigens, and use controls and reference materials to make sure their assays are of the highest quality available. Each batch includes reference controls with known antibody levels for validation of the testing process.
Labs and equipment are regularly calibrated: Periodic inter- and intra-lab testing comparison is performed to verify precision and accuracy of the results. The lab regularly runs standard calibration samples internally and with other labs to ensure consistent quality across the tools.
External accountability: they allow third-party agencies to verify their quality, with accreditation from CLIA, COLA, and CAP ensures their lab protocols exceed the industry standards.
II. What might impact your results:
Certain medications: the Food Sensitivity IgG Test checks for specific antibodies in your blood sample, which might be affected by certain medicines. Anything that suppresses the antigen (responsible for triggering sensitivity) or the corresponding antibody levels might affect your results. Immunosuppressive medications, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories (steroids, NSAIDs), anti-cancer agents (alkylating agents, antimetabolic agents, antilymphocytic agents, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, etc.), anti-convulsive medications (phenytoins) might interfere with your results.
Cross-influence from other antibodies: certain antibodies might interfere with the results (e.g., honey interfering with pollen results or certain toxic chemicals might suppress antibody production)
When you last consumed a given food: If you have known sensitivities and you avoid consuming those foods, the antibody levels will slowly reduce over time (e.g., gluten-free diet reducing the antibodies against wheat, rye, barley)
Certain medical conditions: about 2.5% of the adult population may carry an inherited IgG subclass deficiency that may have low reactivity to our IgG test.
Advanced age, malnutrition/malabsorption, or chronic infections are known to cause acquired IgG deficiencies.
No IgG antibodies are produced: The test specifically measures IgG antibodies and if no rise in antibodies is caused despite a person is sick or shows symptoms the test will not show antibodies.
Radiation therapy is known to cause low IgG levels.
Protein-losing conditions such as enteropathy and nephropathy can result in apparent selective deficiency of IgG.
Intensive (“extreme”) exercise training can affect your results
Smoking associated with chronic bronchitis can result in low IgG
Unknown reasons: no test is perfect and in certain rare cases with unknown cause might affect the antibodies levels.
III. What should be next steps:
Review the symptoms carefully as discomfort or inflammation may be due to many reasons. The test can only report IgG antibodies.
Follow the diet rotation plan to confirm the results--without giving the test results a fair chance it's impossible to confirm the results.
Follow the food elimination procedure for all food items in Class I and above, and repeat in two months to confirm the results.
A: You can use HSA (or FSA/MSA/HRA) accounts to pay for the tests since these are prescription tests (for further confirmation, please check the IRS publication#969). However, please ensure you are not going outside your specified max and min deductible limits. We do not have the capability to process the insurance claim. Insurance plans vary by individuals, therefore we can not guarantee your HSA payment will always be processed by your plan. Please talk to your insurance provider if you have any further concerns.
A: For testing your samples, we have partnered with CLIA-certified labs that are used by physicians across the US. These labs are regulated by the states, as well as Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Additionally, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) requires inter-laboratory tests to ensure the ranges established by each lab do not drift or are not out of acceptable ranges. This is done by regularly testing reference samples between different labs. Finally, the labs test thousands of sample for different age groups and health conditions, and have well established reference data to compare your results against this large pool.
Our at-home food+inhalants test kit can help understand your body's response to large number of food and airborne irritants.
The test can help you find the root cause of dietary and inhalants problems.
Even if you find you are not sensitive to the suspected items, it helps to get this part out of discussion in order to find the actual problem.
The test provides a full range of your sensitivity levels on a scale of 0 to 4. Even if you are sensitive to certain items, it allows you to rotate those items in order to get a balanced diet or avoid certain surroundings.
