If you want to analyse both allergies and intolerances we recommend this test, but if you want more extensive food intolerance tests, we have also 80 items incl. gluten and 240 items.

Lab Test

For those concerned about coeliac disease, we offer a simple Coeliac/Gluten Intolerance Test, which is distinct from the gluten sensitivity measured in this test.
