Food Sensitivity, also known as Type III Food Allergy, is a growing concern among many individuals and their healthcare providers. This is largely due to the difficulty drawing a straight line between certain foods and the chronic complaints that food sensitivity might be causing. The FITLabs Food Sensitivity test – exclusively sourced from ImuPro – helps overcome that uncertainty.

​

With an IgG food allergy, the immune system reacts to usually harmless food allergens and produces food-specific IgG antibodies. These antibodies can then cause inflammatory reactions which may lead to various chronic complaints. However,  since these symptoms are often delayed for hours or even days, patients can often only suspect that a certain food is the source of their complaint, but the delayed onset makes it hard for them to be certain. 

​

The FITLabs Food Sensitivity test detects the levels of IgG antibodies directed against specific foods, which could be causing a Type III food allergy, and possibly leading to the development of chronic symptoms. The reality is that even in the cases in which a patient is sticking to a healthy diet, Type III food allergies can trigger low-grade inflammation which underlies many health problems including:

​

• Migraines

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

• Crohn’s Disease

• Excess weight

• Skin problems
