A Tailored Food Intolerance Test Is Worth More Than a Generic One

Plenty of people have done some version of a food intolerance test. Filled in a symptom questionnaire. Tried a home kit. Done skin prick testing through their GP for allergies. And still feel like they don’t have a clear picture.

The issue is usually that the testing wasn’t measuring the right thing, or wasn’t specific enough to give actionable results. A tailored food intolerance test through ImuPro works differently because it measures your individual immune response to specific foods rather than producing a generalised sensitivity score.

What Tailored Actually Means

Most food sensitivity tests either test too few foods to be useful or give results at a category level rather than for individual foods.

Knowing you “react to dairy” isn’t particularly useful if you’re trying to figure out whether you can tolerate goat’s milk, sheep’s cheese, or butter while eliminating cow’s milk. Knowing you “react to grains” doesn’t tell you whether buckwheat, rice, quinoa, or oats are safe alternatives for your specific immune response.

ImuPro’s Complete 270 test measures your IgG antibody levels for 270 individual foods. Cow’s milk is separate from goat’s milk. Wheat is separate from spelt, rye, barley, oats, buckwheat, and millet. Each food is individually assessed against your blood serum.

The Three-Phase Protocol After Testing

A tailored test is only as useful as what happens with the results. ImuPro’s three-phase protocol makes the results actionable.

Phase one, elimination, removes all highly elevated and elevated foods for five weeks. This helps lower IgG antibody levels and calm inflammation.

Phase two, provocation, brings back foods that were taken out one at a time over a set period of time. This shows which elevated foods really do cause symptoms for you and which ones are elevated but don’t cause any noticeable symptoms in real life. This difference is important for long-term sustainability.

Phase three, stabilisation, builds your ongoing dietary approach based on confirmed triggers. The goal isn’t permanent avoidance of thirty foods. It’s a personalised diet that works for your immune system.

The Personalised Report and Recipe Booklet

Your results report categorises every tested food as not elevated, elevated, or highly elevated based on your individual IgG antibody concentrations. You also receive personalised nutritional guidelines walking through each phase with your specific results in mind.

The Complete and Vegetarian tests include a recipe booklet built around your non-reactive foods, not a general healthy eating guide but something specific to what you can actually eat freely.

Testing Options to Match Your Situation

Screen+ 44 foods is the entry-level option covering the most common triggers.

Basic 90 tests 90 foods with nutritional guidelines included.

Complete 270 is the most comprehensive option, covering 270 foods including herbs, spices, sweeteners, preservatives, and additives that rarely appear on other testing panels.

Vegetarian 221 matches Complete coverage without meat and fish.

The Histamine Intolerance test can be added to any order on the same blood sample.
