About this Kit:

The FIT 22 test evaluates 22 of the most common food sensitivities.

Food elimination based on the FIT Test results reduces symptoms a patient is experiencing.

The test is run using a blood sample obtained from a finger prick. The test requires one blood spot at a minimum, but more is preferred.

Physical Items Included in this Kit:

• Fingerstick Collection Instructions

• Bloodspot Card

• Sterile Single-use Lancets

• Alcohol Prep Pad

• Biohazard Bag

• Patient Requisition Form

• Pre-Stamped USPS Mailing Envelope OR a UPS Bag and Pre-Paid Label

The Results Include:

• The FIT 22 test evaluates 22 of the most common food sensitivities.

The Benefits of Testing:

• IgG testing determines if food reactions are contributing to physical or mental symptoms, and much more quickly than eliminating and then reintroducing each suspect food one by one over a period of time.

• Removal of highly reactive foods from the diet is a non-invasive therapy that often mitigates a patient's symptoms.

• Research and clinical studies suggest food allergies identified by IgG testing can be major contributing factors to many chronic health conditions.

• Eliminating all identified IgG-positive foods after testing can reduce stress on the immune system, decrease inflammation (helping to heal “leaky gut”), resolve food cravings, and reduce the potential for eating disorders.

Why Test IgG Sensitivities?

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) food testing is a useful guide for structuring elimination diets for patients with many chronic conditions. Individuals with neurological, gastrointestinal, movement, and behavioral disorders often suffer from IgG food sensitivities. People may continue to eat offending foods unaware of their potential adverse effects. Symptoms associated with food sensitivities may occur hours or days after the offending food was eaten because IgG food antibodies remain for a much longer time than IgE antibodies. IgE food allergy causes the release of histamine, producing an immediate hypersensitivity reaction. In contrast, IgG food sensitivity is triggered by the binding of complement to IgG food antigen complexes, causing an inflammatory response. This is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction in which symptoms appear anywhere from hours to days after eating the offending food. Elimination of IgG-positive foods may improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, autism, AD(H)D, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and epilepsy, according to numerous clinical studies.

Specimen Requirements:

Dried Blood Spot (DBS): The test is run using a blood sample obtained from a finger prick. The test requires one blood spot at a minimum, but more is preferred. Please note that the elimination of food prior to sampling will reduce the ability of the laboratory to detect antibodies (allergies) to that food.
