Identifying the root cause of digestive discomfort or other health issues can be challenging. A Food Intolerance Test offers a convenient starting point, often requiring just a small hair sample collected easily at home. This method stands out because, unlike blood or urine tests, hair analysis is generally less susceptible to immediate factors like stress or recent food consumption, providing a broader picture of your body’s reactions over time.
Once you place your order, a testing kit will be promptly dispatched to your provided address. This kit contains everything necessary for simple hair sample collection. To ensure the accuracy of your results, please follow these guidelines when collecting your sample:
- While not mandatory, including the hair root is encouraged for the most comprehensive analysis.
- If cutting hair, cut as close to the scalp as possible to capture the newest hair growth.
- Only a few strands of hair (3-4) are needed if your hair is longer than an inch.
- Any type of hair is acceptable, but avoid using hair from brushes or similar accessories to prevent contamination from other sources.
- Hair dye or treatments do not interfere with the test results, so you don’t need to worry about recent salon visits.
After collecting your hair sample, securely place it in a small, sealable plastic bag to keep it dry and protected. Crucially, avoid using metal foil or metallic packaging for sample enclosure. Also, ensure no other items are placed in the same bag as the hair sample.
Once bagged, place the sample in an envelope or postage wallet and mail it to the return address provided with your kit.
Results from your food intolerance test are typically processed and made available within 3 to 5 working days from the laboratory’s receipt of your sample.
Understanding the Limitations of a Food Intolerance Test
To ensure your results are clear and easy to interpret, they are structured into sections based on categories of tested items. Each section begins with a summary page highlighting the key findings. For a complete breakdown, a detailed analysis page provides a comprehensive list of all items tested and your individual reactions.
It’s important to note that while the metal toxicity analysis included in this test can identify sensitivities to certain metals, it does not measure the levels of metal present in your body. This test is designed to detect your body’s reaction, not quantify metal accumulation.
