Features:

  • HELPFUL TEST - This test is a great place to start if you want to dig into your body's relationship with food. The test measures IgG antibodies in a small blood sample to tell you how your immune system reacts to 96 different foods. You can then use your results to help guide a temporary elimination diet to pinpoint the foods you're sensitive to. (Note: food sensitivities are different than food allergies and intolerances. This is not an allergy test.)
  • GUIDANCE FOR AN ELIMINATION DIET - Food sensitivities can contribute to migraines, joint pain, skin issues, gastrointestinal distress, and other symptoms. Finding the symptom-causing foods isn't always easy, but the Everlywell Food Sensitivity Test makes it easier by giving you useful information that can help guide a temporary elimination diet.
  • EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND RESULTS - Gain meaningful insights about your health with easy-to-understand test results. Download and share with your healthcare provider, family, or friends. We also provide you with additional resources and helpful tips along the way.
  • CERTIFIED LABS - Each partner lab we choose to work with is CLIA-certified (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments). This means they have to meet high standards to obtain both state and federal certifications and submit themselves to regular inspections.
  • PHYSICIAN-REVIEWED - Everlywell test orders and results are reviewed and approved by an independent board-certified physician within your state.
Research first - understand the results within the correct context.

UPDATE 16-May-2018: We had my husband do this test so we could compare results. We call him the dog with hands because the man can eat everything in sight without issue. Sure enough, his test results show almost no reactivity to foods - just yogurt, which we knew about. I have major food issues - GERD, gluten intolerance, IC, IBS, migraines, and allergies. My test results show significant reactivity to a broad range of foods - and these are foods we knew I had issues with. I am convinced this test is pretty legit. PREVIOUS REVIEW: This test won’t confirm lactose intolerance nor celiac disease. All it does is show IgG reactive levels - antibodies. The medical community is divided over what this means for food tolerance. Humans develop antibodies as protection against foreign substances like viruses. If you have had chicken pox, you have antibodies against chicken pox. This doesn’t guarantee that you won’t get chicken pox, but it definitely reduces your chances significantly. But does having chicken pox antibodies make you willing to eat the chicken pox virus? Well, food is no different. There are foods our bodies believe are harmful foreign agents and so our bodies build up antibodies to protect us from them. Does the presence of the antibodies mean you are now safe to enjoy those foods? This is where the medical community is divided. NIH has published results of a study that shows elimating IgG-reactive foods reduces migraines. Here is what I can tell you - wheat and gluten are on my reactive IgG list. I eliminated both and I went from near-daily migraines to about 3 per month. IgG antibodies trigger an inflammatory response. That response will manifest in different human bodies in different ways. Migraines in some, brain fog or joint pain in others. Maybe lethargy, fatigue, insomnia, etc., it all depends on how the inflammatory response occurs. This test is only going to tell you your IgG reactivity to foods. It won’t tell you how that reactivity in you manifests. Maybe it doesn’t. Or maybe it’s the source of that mystery joint pain you are having. The human body is a complex ecosystem. No two bodies react exactly the same because we all have different gut bacteria, diets, genetics, medications, etc. Each of these things contributes to your unique chemistry. How these IgG-reactive foods impact your chemistry really can only be determined through an elimination diet and then reintroduction of one IgG-reactive food at a time so you can see how your body reacts to it. All this test will do is narrow down a possible list of foods based on IgG reactivity only. Celiac disease and lactose intolerance are two examples of food issues that this test will NOT reveal. Food intolerance has several possible causes - IgG just being one among many - and there are likely many more that we aren’t even aware of yet. So don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, so to speak. This test is just one piece of your body’s ecological mystery puzzle.

Do this test and feel better and lose weight!

This product is amazing...here is my proof. I completed my food sensitivities test and gluten (ugh) came back as my extreme sensitivity. I was already scheduled to have an appointment with my gastroenterologist for something unrelated and i mentioned it to him. He ran various tests and came up with the same result. So you can get doctor advice in your own living room with this simple kit. I cut out gluten/wheat and I felt like a new person and lost 11 lbs in 10 days. I was literally poisoning myself with gluten. I always thought being gluten free was annoying if you didn't have an allergy or celiac, but ideas wrong. I Love the challenge now of finding yummy gluten free food everywhere we go.

which by chance i found out gets drastically better when i eat a bland diet during treatments for ...

i was skeptical about the product at first mainly because the reviews from scholarly article doesn't believe in IGg mediated sensitivity testing. I am here to tell you this is real! I have psoriasis, which by chance i found out gets drastically better when i eat a bland diet during treatments for another medical condition. I was on clobetasol solution, ointment, and ketoconazole shampoo trying to get my psoriasis under control for years. When i ate clean, i didn't need any of those medications and all my patches went away. Initially, i thought it was sensitivity to gluten and diary, which are common. I started avoiding all gluten and diary. However, my psoriasis would still flare when i didn't eat gluten. It was so confusing that i decided to test it with everlywell food sensitivity testing. My highest reactivity came out to be diary (which i suspected) and yeast!!! which is found in alcochol bakery items, and vinegar. I love sour foods like hot and sour soup and i drink socially. I'm so happy to find this out. I highly recommend this test!

Fast results!

The blood sample was fairly easy to collect. I put my test in the mail on Monday and got my results on Friday. Highly recommend. Found out I had a moderate reaction to some things I eat often and had no idea they were the culprit for my stomach pain. I thought I was gluten intolerant or something, but eliminating gluten wasn't really helping. Turns out it's yeast and dairy!

Cheaper than an Doctor Visit and I learned a lot

I've had stomach problems for years and years. I've done reduction diets several times trying to figure out what was bothering me. The reduction diets take a long time to work and it takes a long time to add foods back in. We don't have health insurance that will pay for allergy testing and I wanted to see if foods were bothering me even if not a true "allergy". The results of this test took a week to come back and really pointed out a lot of food sensitivities. I react to spinach, milk, carrots, cheeses, even almonds among many other things! So in the past, when I would avoid milk, I'd drink almond milk. It is good to know what things could be a small bother for my body, but when eaten with several other items that bother me, it could be causing my GI issues. I do feel better now that I'm avoiding these food sensitivities.

Great tool to help you feel better

I have done this test myself and had great results. I am buying two kits for gifts for family members. As a registered dietitian this is a great tool to help persuade clients (and family) to change their eating habits. My own experience convinced me...I found that I was sensitive to foods which I never would have guessed and felt much better after taking them out of my diet.

Confirmed my gut... No pun intended ;-)

This helped me zero in on what was causing bloat and red flushing on my face. Thanks!

LIFE ALTERING

Shocking results! Everything I normally eat is BAD FOR ME! Results were shocking-gluten, DAIRY, MUSHROOMS? TUNA??!!! I feel a LOT BETTER. This test is life changing!!

This is a must if you have gastric discomfort often.

I have been told for years that I have a gluten sensitivity because I have thyroid disease. As it turns out, I have high dairy sensitivity. Gluten was one my lowest numbers. However, both of the yeast were fairly high, so that explains why not all things with gluten bother me. Also have moderate reaction to eggs(yolk and white), which I have been eating daily. I have removed dairy, yeast and eggs now for one week and have seen a great improvement. My husband also did the IGG test and his results were completely different from mine, which help me to believe that this is a legitimate test. If you are sick and tired and being sick and tired you should definitely order this test. (I have worked in healthcare over 30 years and have realized that I must take control of my own healthcare!)

Truly Helpful

If you suffer from an inflammatory issue and haven’t had success with a doctor or elimination diet this is a great tool. I have struggled with acne prone skin my entire life. Went on accutane 10 years ago and have seen flair ups on and off since then. A story you can read on every internet forum about acne. This issue is a persistant, debilitating, and frustrating. And it takes a ton of work to figure out the underlying causes. From facials to skincare products, gluten free, dairy free, kombucha, I’ve done-it-all. I’ve never found any real results. About a year ago I started eating vegan and have since had the worst acne flare ups in 10 years. I really couldn’t figure out why as I was eating mostly vegetables. Of course this was really frustrating for me. I cut out gluten again for a short time, no real changes. If you’ve ever tried to assess your diet in total its pretty difficult. Also food can take several days to trigger a reaction; you’re really shooting in the dark always. Its annoying lol. I looked at several clinics who do food sensitivity tests which range from $300-$500 and then came across the everlywell test. It has crazy mixed reviews online, some people are happy others are dismissive of the results OR writing it off as wrong because it doesn’t report to them an actual allergy. First of all let me say this, everlywell WILL only tell you what foods you are currently eating which trigger inflammation. That means if you are vegan, cheese might not show up even if its inflammatory for you. All this test does is give you an idea of things in your current diet that might be a problem. It suggests you cut them out via elimination, and re introduce after a couple months to check for symptoms. For me this clear cut answer is WELL WORTH the $150. I appreciate the answers! My test came up as highest reactivity to cinnamon, and mild to eggs, garlic, and wheat. Cinnamon is VERY unexpected, but it makes sense. There has never been a time in my life where all of these items were eliminated from my diet, just 1-2 at different times. Its been about a week and a half and my skin is the clearest its been in a LONG time. Its insanely relieving to me. I had no idea how much wheat I was consuming eating vegan, a hidden ingredient in a TON of products. I also have cinnamon in my coffee every day. These things were not too difficult to cut out my diet, I just had no idea where to start. I’d also like to say that knowing I can eat cheese from time to time is pretty cool. Just know what this test is for before purchasing. I highly recommend this for anyone with a persistent issue that they want answers to!
