Food and Pet Sensitivity Test
$199
Do you feel sleepy after eating, or suffer from stomach aches, diarrhoea, or gas? The Food & Pet Intolerance Test can help uncover the possible causes of these symptoms.
Your results will be available 6 weeks after the laboratory receives your samples and will provide a valuable guide to help you make informed dietary and lifestyle choices.
Which allergens will be tested for sensitivity? How many genetic markers are tested?
The Food & Pet Intolerance Test provides a comprehensive sensitivity analysis by examining your genetic predisposition to some of the most common food and environmental triggers.
Food Sensitivity Analysis
This part of the test will identify whether you have a genetic sensitivity to widely consumed food items such as gluten, lactose, cow milk, egg, peanuts, yeast, fish, soy, corn, and shellfish, among others.
Pet Dander Sensitivity
The test also screens for genetic markers that indicate a higher sensitivity to pet dander—tiny particles shed from animals with fur, hair, or feathers, which can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Histamine Intolerance
This component examines whether your body has the genetic ability to break down excess histamine, a naturally occurring compound found in aged and fermented foods. An inability to process histamine properly can lead to symptoms similar to food intolerances or allergies.
Test Overview
The analysis involves 30 genetic markers (SNPs) and categorizes the tested items into 8 types:
Gluten
Lactose
Cow Milk Protein
Egg
Peanut
Histamine
Pet Dander
Other Foods (tree nuts, soy, soybean, corn, yeast, fish, shrimp, apples)
It is important to note that this is a DNA-based test, meaning the results reflect your genetic predisposition to react to the specific food and pet-related items tested. It does not diagnose current allergies but helps guide your lifestyle and dietary decisions based on your genetic makeup.
Reliable DNA Test
The laboratory has over 10 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals restore their body’s natural balance. All testing procedures are conducted following high-standard protocols and utilize the most advanced technology available. You can rest assured that the testing is carried out with the highest level of quality and precision.
How is the sample collection process?
Upon placing your order, we will ship your DNA testing kit to the address you provide. The test requires only a simple saliva collection using the oral swabs included in the kit—making the process quick, easy, and non-invasive.
Sample Collection Instructions:
Remove the swabs from the envelope
Rub the swabs against the entire inner surface of your cheek
Allow the swabs to dry completely
Place the dried swabs back into the envelopes
Return the sample using the pre-printed envelope provided in the kit

Results
Results will be sent to you by email 6 weeks after your samples are received at the laboratory.
The comprehensive report will indicate which allergens you are more genetically sensitive to and will include a helpful guide with dietary suggestions, food substitutions, and recommended supplements.
The Food & Pet Sensitivity Test specifically analyzes genes related to the body’s sensitivity to specific allergens. It does not analyze any other information related to diseases or medical conditions.
We strongly recommend consulting your medical professional before making any changes to your diet or lifestyle based on your results.
Frequent Questions
What is a food sensitivity?
A food sensitivity is a delayed reaction your body has after digesting certain foods. Unlike food allergies, which cause immediate responses, food sensitivities typically result in symptoms hours or even days later.
Why should you take a food sensitivity test?
If you’re aiming to improve your health and overall lifestyle, identifying how your body reacts to specific foods is essential. Many people unknowingly suffer from food sensitivities for years, when symptoms could be eased—or avoided altogether—with simple dietary adjustments.
What is the difference between food intolerance and food sensitivity?
Food sensitivity occurs when your body reacts negatively to certain foods during digestion, causing symptoms like bloating, gas, fatigue, acne, diarrhoea, or stomach pain. These symptoms are usually delayed.
Food intolerance happens when your body lacks a specific enzyme needed to break down certain foods. A common example is lactose intolerance. If you suspect an intolerance, the Food & Pet Intolerance Test can help.
Which foods contain histamine?
Histamine is commonly found in red wine and fermented foods or drinks. Some individuals may have difficulty breaking down this compound, leading to intolerance symptoms.
What does “inconclusive” mean in the results?
An “inconclusive” result means that the laboratory was unable to detect the expected alleles or a specific gene. This isn’t an error—it simply means your sample did not produce results that fall within the software’s recognized range, so a clear sensitivity determination cannot be made.
Do I need to take this test every year?
No. The Food & Pet Intolerance Test is a DNA-based test. Since your DNA does not change over time, there is no need to retake this test annually. One test provides lifelong insights into your genetic sensitivities.
