Our signature at-home food sensitivity panel.
This at-home fingerprick test measures your body's IgG immune response to 184 foods to assist you in not only figuring out what your body is sensitive to, but also to what degree (non-reactive, mildly reactive, moderately reactive, and severely reactive). It also includes a 15 minute review of the results with a physician and review of how to complete a 6-week elimination diet with the individual results.
What's measured?
Each individual food is graded on a class scale of 0-3.
- 0 = no reactivity
- 1 = mild reactivity
- 2 = moderate reactivity
- 3 = severe reactivity
Note: this is not a food allergy test (IgE) and does not determine lactose intolerance or celiac disease.
See photos for the list of what foods are measured.
What symptoms may be associated with IgG food sensitivities?
- Bloating, abdominal pain/discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, digestive issues
- Headaches/migraines
- Weight gain
- Acne and other skin conditions
- Joint pain
- Anxiety
What's included?
- Free shipping both ways
- Sample collection materials (collection card, alcohol pad, gauze, lancets, bandage, biohazard bag, shipping label and envelope for return)
- Digital and printable results
- 15 minute review with a physician
Here is a testimonial from a patient who did a food sensitivity panel with me back in summer 2019 and has continued to be 100% dairy- and gluten-free:
"My wife first heard about The Hormone Doctor on a podcast in 2017 and started seeing her immediately. She had amazing results (even still sees her to this day), which were visible to me even within a few weeks after she started on Dr. Smithers' recommendations. My wife and I both work in aerospace, so life has always been very stressful and time is limited. We were also living in California at the time, but we able to work with The Hormone Doctor virtually.
I grew up thinking that it was completely normal to wake up feeling light and lean and then feel terrible after eating. It had been my norm for so long that I never questioned whether or not it could be the food that I was eating, especially because I had always been really active and paid attention to the food I ate.
I thought that everyone ate lunch and then went into a "food coma" - I would always go home and nap for 1-2 hours early afternoon and then stay at work later into the evening to make up for it. If I didn't nap, I would be completely useless and even fell asleep in a meeting or two.
I was always dealing with some kind of bloating or indigestion, my brain felt fuzzy and I couldn't think properly after eating, but I'd just do what I've always done and push through.
Then one day Dr. Smithers mentioned to my wife that we could do a food sensitivity panel to look into the specific foods that were affecting me and, while I had a good handful of them come up on my panel, dairy and gluten turned out to be the most triggering after I completed the elimination and reintroduction.
To put this in perspective, I am the absolute last person that you would ever think would, not only do a panel like that, but actually follow the doctor's recommendations and eliminate the foods from my diet, but as soon as I started the elimination I felt incredible! I stopped needing to nap, my job performance excelled and I got a promotion shortly after because of that, I had more athletic improvements over the following 6-month period than I had in the previous 3 years, and I just felt overall amazing.
Now I've been 100% dairy- and gluten-free for almost 5 years and it has been completely life changing. I cannot recommend looking into food sensitivities enough!"
