Ordering the Food Sensitivity Complete Panel by Vibrant Wellness
Ordering the Food Sensitivity Complete Panel by Vibrant Wellness helps identify specific food triggers that may be linked to symptoms like bloating, headaches, skin rashes, and digestive discomfort. This test evaluates your immune response to 209 foods and additives, providing a detailed look at how your body reacts to common items in the Western diet. Interestingly, food sensitivities can sometimes cause symptoms that appear unrelated to digestion, such as joint pain or mood changes, making this test useful for uncovering hidden connections.
When ordering this panel, you gain access to several specific benefits:
- Pinpoints immune reactions to a wide range of foods and additives, including preservatives and food dyes.
- Helps clarify if symptoms like fatigue, eczema, or sinus congestion are linked to food sensitivities.
- Supports targeted dietary changes by identifying both common and less obvious food triggers.
- Assists in managing chronic inflammation and gut issues by revealing foods that may increase intestinal permeability.
- Provides a comprehensive report, making it easier to discuss results with your healthcare provider.
Who Should Consider Food Sensitivity and Intolerance Testing
People who experience ongoing digestive issues, skin problems, or unexplained fatigue may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has tried multiple diets to relieve stomach cramps and headaches but still struggles with symptoms could use this test to identify specific foods that may be causing their discomfort.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Frequent bloating or gas after eating, even with a balanced diet
- Recurring skin rashes or hives that do not respond to topical treatments
- Persistent sinus congestion or headaches with no clear cause
- Difficulty concentrating or experiencing brain fog after meals
- Unexpected joint pain that seems to flare up after certain foods
Pinpointing food sensitivities can help reduce symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, or skin irritation by guiding you to avoid specific triggers. Delaying this test may mean continued exposure to foods that worsen symptoms, making it harder to find relief and track down the root cause.
Preparing for Food Sensitivity Screening
Fasting is not required for this test, so you can eat and drink as usual before collecting your sample. Always follow any instructions provided by your doctor or healthcare professional to ensure your sample is collected correctly and your results are as useful as possible.
