That’s where a food intolerance test can make all the difference.
What Is a Food Intolerance?
A food intolerance is your body’s inability to properly digest or respond to certain foods. It’s not an immune reaction (like a food allergy), but it can still cause significant discomfort and systemic effects over time. This is actually quite different from a food allergy or a food sensitivity test, which we will get to in just a moment.
Common symptoms of a food intolerance include:
- Bloating or gas after eating
- Brain fog or fatigue
- Headaches or migraines
- Skin issues like acne or rashes
- Joint pain or muscle aches
- Mood swings or irritability
These reactions can appear hours — or even days — after you’ve eaten the trigger food, making them difficult to pinpoint without help.
Food Sensitivity Tests vs. Food Intolerance Tests
Most food sensitivity tests on the market aren’t as reliable as people think. Many popular kits measure IgG antibodies, which are often misinterpreted. These are widely available online and in pharmacies. While convenient, they may not provide the most accurate food intolerance test results because they often measure IgG antibodies, which can simply reflect exposure to a food — not intolerance.
IgG antibodies don’t always indicate a sensitivity. They can simply mean your immune system recognizes a food because you’ve eaten it before. For example, if you eat eggs daily, you might show a strong IgG response — not because you’re intolerant, but because your body knows that food.
On the other hand, a food intolerance is a genetic enzyme deficiency passed down from our ancestors. They prevent us from digesting certain food groups and food combinations properly, leading to systemic inflammation and toxemia. This can cause all sorts of problems by toxifying your system, and are often the root cause of digestive problems, hormone issues, skin rashes, anxiety/depression, autoimmune conditions, allergies, and migraines.
This is the difference from a food sensitivity or allergy. Since 80% of our immune system is in our gut, if we are consuming our food intolerance, our immune system is going to be reactive.

The Most Accurate Food Intolerance Test
At Haven Holistic Health, we believe the most accurate food intolerance test isn’t just about the lab results — it’s about pairing testing with a deeper, root-cause evaluation.
Our food intolerance evaluation is paired with an expert review from one of our Naturopathic Doctors after an evaluation of a blood sample. It is a test that has been around for over 100 years that has given us tons of data as to the most common food intolerances in the population. The vast majority of individuals we evaluate are only intolerant to one or two major food categories.
This is an electrodermal biofeedback evaluation, similar to bioelectronics testing of Voll, and in this analysis, a specific electric circuit is run between the patient’s blood sample and exposed to various foods in contact with a reagent. Fluctuations in the current are detected and thereby, the outcome of the evaluation is determined. While most other food tests are based in chemistry, measuring chemical reactions, this evaluation is based on physics, measuring the electrical reactions.
After all, we are electrical human beings, with nerves coursing through every cell in our bodies. Electrical diagnosis is actually extremely popular and mainstream in European countries.
Once your food intolerance(s) are determined, you’ll receive a personalized plan based on your individual results, symptoms, and history. This approach provides clarity, guidance, and a clear path forward — something most at-home kits simply can’t offer.
If you’ve been holding back from testing because of cost, it’s worth knowing that affordable food intolerance testing does exist. We work to make our evaluations as accessible as possible while still offering expert analysis and ongoing support. In many cases, investing in accurate testing saves money in the long run by avoiding unnecessary supplements, diets, and trial-and-error.
Listen to Your Body — And Take the Next Step
Your body is constantly communicating with you — but most of us have been taught to ignore those signals. We chalk up bloating to “just eating too fast”, fatigue to “getting older”, or brain fog to “not enough coffee.” If your body is sending signals after meals — bloating, fatigue, brain fog — it’s time to stop guessing.
Here’s the truth: those signals are your body’s way of asking for help. The discomfort after lunch, the headaches that come out of nowhere, the skin breakouts that don’t respond to creams. None of it is random. It’s your system waving a red flag, trying to tell you that something is out of balance.
This is where testing becomes so powerful. A food intolerance test doesn’t just give you a list of foods to avoid, but it gives you more insight as to how your body is responding and why. And when paired with professional guidance, it turns those confusing signals into a plan you can act on.
Think of it just way: You wouldn’t just ignore the check engine light in your car – you’d take it in, get a diagnosis, and fix the problem before it caused bigger issues. Your body deserves the same level of attention and care.
So pause for a moment and ask yourself:
- Where am I experiencing recurring discomfort?
- What symptoms have I normalized that might actually be signals?
- What would life look like if I could feel energized, clear-headed, and symptom-free after meals?
The answers to those questions could change everything.
