Do you suspect certain foods are causing you discomfort? Identifying food intolerances can be a crucial step towards better health and well-being. A food intolerance test offers a convenient and non-invasive way to explore your body’s reactions to various foods. Unlike traditional tests that require blood or urine samples, a food intolerance test using a small hair sample can be easily conducted in the comfort of your home. This method is often preferred as hair samples are generally less affected by short-term factors like stress or recent meals, providing a broader picture of your body’s sensitivities.
When you order your test, a comprehensive testing kit will be mailed directly to you. This kit includes everything necessary for simple hair sample collection. To ensure the accuracy of your results, please follow these straightforward guidelines when collecting your hair sample:
- Whenever feasible, try to include the hair root when taking your sample.
- If cutting hair, cut as close to the scalp as possible to get a sample nearest the root.
- Only a small number of hair strands are needed – about 3-4 if your hair is longer than an inch.
- Any type of hair is acceptable, but to prevent contamination, avoid using hair from brushes or similar accessories.
- Hair dye or treatments do not interfere with the test results, so there’s no need to worry about these affecting accuracy.
Once you have collected your sample, place it into the small, sealable bag provided in your kit. This will keep it dry and secure during transit. It’s important NOT to use metal foil or metallic packaging for the sample. Also, do not include any other items in the bag with your hair sample.
After securely bagging your sample, place it in the provided envelope or postage wallet and mail it to the address indicated.
Results from your Food Intolerance Testing will be ready in 3 to 5 working days from the date the laboratory receives your sample.
Understanding the Scope of Your Food Intolerance Test
To make your results as clear and easy to understand as possible, they will be structured into sections based on food categories. Each section will begin with a summary page, highlighting the most important findings. For a complete breakdown, a detailed analysis page will list every item tested and your reaction to it.
It’s important to note that while the metal toxicity analysis included in this test will identify sensitivities to specific metals, it will not measure the levels of metals present in your body. This test is designed to detect your body’s intolerance, not to quantify metal concentrations.
