Introduction of Food Intolerance Package
Table of Contents
The food Intolerance package includes a panel of tests to know if patients have sensitivity to a specific food. A food allergy test is also a part of the Food Intolerance package to know the reason for intolerance in which a blood test can measure the immune system’s response to the patient to particular foods by measuring the allergy-related antibody known as immunoglobulin E (IgE). The patient needs to fast (no consumption of food or drinks except water) 10 to 12 hours before the sample blood collection.

Keynotes on Food Intolerance Package
- 10 to 12 hours of fasting is mandatory for Food Intolerance Package blood tests.
- Differences among food sensitivity, food allergy, and food intolerance are given in a table-
Features | Food sensitivity | Food allergy | Food intolerance |
Definition | It occurs when the immune system reacts to a specific food, creating a variety of adverse symptoms. | It is a type of immune response triggered by the proteins found in a specific food. | It doesn’t involve the immune system but it is often occurred due to a lack of certain enzymes required to break it down |
Involvement of Immunoglobulin (Ig) | IgG, IgM, and IgA | IgE | No involvement |
Causes | It is triggered by a type of protein found in wheat, barley and rye have been linked to symptoms such as bloating, stomach pain, brain fog, depression, and skin inflammation | Milk and other dairy products, peanuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat, , tree nuts, soy, and sesame are common foods that cause food allergies. | Fructose, lactose, caffeine, sulfites, and food additives, including certain preservatives and artificial colors, are common sources of food intolerance. |
