IgG Food Intolerance Test for 220 foods

€150,00

Sample required: Capillary blood from micro-sampling with MiTRA volumetric device 

Storage: Dried blood sample stable for 90 days at room temperature (8–28 °C) 

Methodology: Multiplex ELISA assay for the titration of food-specific IgG antibodies (CE-IVD Medical Device) 

Reporting time: 2–3 weeks 

The 220-Food IVD Food Intolerance Test measures the levels of specific IgG antibody reactivity to a wide panel of nutrients and food ingredients. Thanks to the innovative MiTRA micro-sampling device, the test requires only a few drops of capillary blood that can be collected painlessly at home, without venipuncture or a cold chain. A CE-IVD certified laboratory analysis designed as an objective support tool for nutritionists and physicians in setting up rotation or guided elimination diets. 

Test method

Informed consent

artt. 13 e 9 Reg. UE 2016/679 - GDPR

Required

Consent to the processing of health-related data for care purposes (section 3.a).

Required

Consent to receiving the service via teleconsultation, with the limits described in the notice.

Optional

Consent to possible recording of the session (not required for the service).

How does it work?

  • Self-collection: Perform the capillary micro-sampling from your fingertip at home using the MiTRA® device.
  • Shipping to the laboratory: Place the device in the protective case and send it using the included prepaid envelope. Dried blood technology ensures antibody stability at room temperature without the need for refrigerated shipping.
  • Analysis and reporting: The laboratory performs the multiplex ELISA assay. The interpreted report with reactivity levels will be available online within 2–3 weeks. 

Why choose?

  • Broad-spectrum mapping: Simultaneous analysis of 220 foods from a single, simple finger-prick sample. 
  • MiTRA dried blood technology: Eliminates the need for traditional venous blood draws (venipuncture) and cold chain management during transport. 
  • CE-IVD Quality Standards: Developed and analyzed on platforms certified for in vitro diagnostic use (not for research use only / RUO). 
  • Objective guidance for professionals: Provides reproducible data useful for nutritionists and dietitians to structure personalized dietary plans. 

Who is it for?

  • People with recurring digestive symptoms (bloating, abdominal tension, bowel irregularities) or extra-digestive symptoms (fatigue, headaches) related to food intake.
  • Those intending to undertake an elimination or rotation diet under the supervision of a nutrition expert.
  • Patients who have already ruled out celiac disease, IgE-mediated allergies, and major organic pathological causes, but continue to experience meal-related discomfort.
  • Nutritionist biologists, dietitians, and physicians seeking an analytical parameter to support the personalization of dietary plans.

Disclaimer

  • Nature of the test and distinction from allergies: The test measures the levels of specific IgG antibodies to foods and constitutes an analytical investigation for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use. The test is not a test for the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergies (which require prick tests or RAST) nor for the diagnosis of celiac disease.
  • Support for dietary guidance: The test results represent a cognitive support tool for nutritional guidance. The potential presence of IgG antibody reactivity to a food does not in itself constitute an automatic diagnosis of a pathology or "permanent intolerance" and does not justify the autonomous elimination of entire food groups.
  • Healthcare professional supervision: The interpretation of the report and the potential setting of an elimination diet and subsequent reintroduction (rotation diets) must be carried out exclusively with the support of a doctor, nutritionist, or dietitian, in order to avoid nutritional deficiencies or dietary imbalances lacking clinical foundation.
