Food Intolerance
Overview
Digestive discomfort, food-related fatigue, and unexplained sensitivities often stem from
underlying genetic factors. The ExtendingME Food Intolerance Panel identifies genetic
predispositions linked to common intolerances, allergies, and sensitivities, helping uncover the
hidden drivers behind symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, inflammation, and allergic response.
This panel goes beyond basic nutrition. It supports providers in pinpointing root causes of
food-triggered symptoms and offers patients clear, actionable insights to minimize discomfort,
reduce immune stress, and improve daily functioning. With a deeper understanding of how the
body processes specific foods and substances, personalized care becomes simpler, safer, and
more effective.
What This Test Covers
The Foundational Panel is divided into core health categories, each offering detailed
insights into specific traits and functions:
Food Intolerance Markers
- Lactose Intolerance
- Gluten Intolerance
Food Allergy Susceptibility
- Milk Allergy
- Egg Allergy
- Peanut Allergy
Food Sensitivity Insights
- Caffeine Sensitivity
Why It Matters
The Food Intolerance Panel brings clarity to food-related triggers by using genetic insights to support:
- Early identification of hard-to-detect food-related responses
- Reduction of chronic digestive and inflammatory symptoms
- Proactive management of immune-mediated food allergies
- Safer, more targeted nutrition and lifestyle interventions
- Decreased reliance on trial-and-error food elimination methods
- Better support for patients with gut, skin, neurological, or energy-related symptoms linked to food triggers
Who Should Take This Test
This panel is ideal for:
Individuals with ongoing bloating, GI discomfort, or food related fatigue
Patients with suspected or diagnosed food allergies or intolerances
Individuals with unexplained skin conditions, mood changes, or migraines potentially linked to food
People with family history of food allergies, sensitivities, or autoimmune conditions
Functional and integrative medicine doctors seeking to personalize elimination protocols
Gastroenterologists, allergists, and primary care providers managing chronic GI or immune symptoms
Wellness and nutrition practitioners supporting clients with unresolved food-related concerns
