Food Intolerance & Allergy Testing
At Sozo Klenz, we partner with YorkTest – a UK leader with 38+ years of scientific expertise-to offer convenient home-to-laboratory blood tests and practical support. These tests are designed to help you understand possible reactions to foods and environmental triggers so you can make informed choices for your health and wellbeing.
How it works
-
Food Intolerance (IgG-mediated):
Sometimes, partially digested food particles can enter the bloodstream. The immune system may recognise certain proteins as “foreign” and produce IgG antibodies. This response may contribute to inflammation, which in some people is associated with symptoms such as bloating, headaches and tiredness.
-
Food Allergy (IgE-mediated):
A true allergy involves IgE antibodies and typically causes immediate reactions (often within minutes to 2 hours). Traces of the trigger can be enough to cause symptoms affecting the skin, airways and/or digestion.
These tests do not diagnose medical conditions. Results should be considered alongside your symptoms and professional advice.
Intolerance vs Allergy – key differences
Food Intolerance (IgG)
Reactions may be delayed (up to ~72 hours)
Several foods can be involved
Any body system may be affected
Common and hard to self-pinpoint
Symptoms may improve with guided avoidance (often 3–6 months)
Food Allergy (IgE)
Reactions are usually immediate (≤ 2 hours)
Fewer foods typically involved (often 1–2)
Often affects skin, airways, digestion
Trace amounts can trigger symptoms
Usually lifelong; requires medical oversight

Signs You May Have a Food Intolerance
Food intolerances can affect people differently, but common signs include:
Frequent headaches or migraines
Bloating, wind, or stomach discomfort
Tiredness or low energy
Anxiety, low mood, or brain fog
Changes in bowel habits (e.g. diarrhoea)
Skin issues such as eczema, rashes, or hives
These symptoms can have many causes. A food intolerance test may help highlight possible triggers, but results should always be considered alongside professional medical advice ⚠️
