Food Inflammation Testing in Houston, TX
Uncover hidden food sensitivities that contribute to chronic inflammation and persistent symptoms with our comprehensive Food Inflammation Test (FIT Test). This advanced analysis measures your body’s inflammatory responses to various foods using a simple finger-stick blood sample. Identifying your trigger foods empowers targeted dietary changes for profound health improvements.
Why Test?
Understanding Food Reactions
Identifying how specific foods impact your body is crucial for breaking cycles of chronic inflammation. Lingering inflammation contributes to a wide range of health issues, including persistent digestive upset, fatigue, brain fog, headaches, joint pain, skin problems, and difficulty managing weight. Understanding your individual food sensitivities allows you to remove triggers and calm systemic irritation.
It's important to distinguish between different types of food reactions:
Food Allergy: An immediate IgE immune response, often severe and potentially life-threatening (e.g., hives, anaphylaxis).
Food Intolerance: Difficulty digesting a specific food, often causing gas, bloating, or diarrhea, but typically not involving an immune system reaction (e.g., lactose intolerance).
Food Sensitivity: A delayed immune response (often involving IgG antibodies or immune complexes) triggering inflammation hours or days after consumption, leading to chronic, widespread symptoms. The FIT Test focuses on identifying these sensitivities.
Common signs and symptoms linked to food sensitivities and inflammation include:
- Digestive Issues (Bloating, Gas, Constipation, Diarrhea)
- Fatigue / Low Energy Levels
- Headaches or Migraines
- Joint or Muscle Pain
- Skin Problems (Eczema, Acne, Rashes)
- Brain Fog / Difficulty Concentrating
- Mood Imbalances
- Weight Management Difficulties

FIT 176
Our most extensive option tests 176 foods, additives, and colorings. It also includes markers for Candida sensitivity and Zonulin (a marker for intestinal permeability or "leaky gut"), providing deeper gut health insights.
Food Inflammation Testing FAQs
We offer several options to suit different needs. Currently, the FIT 22 test costs $200, the comprehensive FIT 132 test costs $395, and the most extensive FIT 176 test including the Gut Barrier Panel costs $495. (Please note: Prices are subject to change; verify current pricing at time of purchase).
This test utilizes advanced technology measuring both IgG antibodies (types 1-4) and C3d Immune Complexes related to inflammation. This dual approach identifies multiple inflammatory pathways, providing higher accuracy and reducing the false positives or negatives sometimes seen with standard IgG-only food sensitivity tests.
No, they measure different immune responses. Standard allergy tests typically check for immediate IgE reactions causing symptoms like hives or anaphylaxis. The FIT Test measures delayed IgG and Immune Complex reactions which trigger inflammatory responses and chronic symptoms often hours or even days after consuming a reactive food.
Your detailed report identifies specific food sensitivities triggering inflammation. The results guide a targeted elimination diet, removing reactive foods for a period. We recommend discussing your report with a qualified health professional to personalize your dietary plan effectively and monitor symptom improvements.
Once the certified lab receives your completed blood spot sample via mail, the analysis process begins. You can typically expect to receive your comprehensive results report securely via email shortly after the lab receives your sample.
