Food Sensitivity Testing
Do you need to be gluten free? In a world full of trendy health buzzwords how do you navigate what’s right for your body? A food sensitivity test may be a good place to start.
Our preference is to test using finger prick blood ELISA testing through the US Biotek Company. It is less invasive than a full blood draw, making it a good option for kids 6 months and older, as well as adults.
The test can be performed in office and results return approximately 2 weeks later.
See a sample food sensitivity report here.
Investment: $225-$300 depending on the number of foods tested.
