Food Intolerance Test - now with 260 foods and drinks.

A blood test measuring IgG antibody levels against 260 foods and drinks, taken at home via a finger-prick sample. It suits people who want to review their diet against a wide list of foods rather than test a single suspected trigger.

About this test

This test looks at IgG antibody levels against a panel of 260 foods and drinks, grouped into categories such as cereals and seeds, dairy and eggs, fish and seafood, fruits, legumes, meat, nuts, spices and vegetables. It gives you a reading of your IgG response to each food on the list rather than a diagnosis of intolerance, so how you act on the results is a personal decision rather than a medical one.

Within its comparison group of 12 IgG food intolerance tests, the median panel size is 218 foods, so 260 puts this test a little above average for breadth. On price, £134.25 is close to the £139 group median: YorkTest's 200-food Premium test is priced the same at £139, and Randox Health's 200-food Food Sensitivity test costs £178, while Check My Body Health's tests cover many more foods for considerably less, starting at £26.99 for 650 foods. Turnaround is five working days, longer than the one-day turnaround typical of Blue Horizon's single-marker blood tests.

The listing gives a detailed description of the process and some of the food categories covered, which supports a solid clarity score, though it does not name every food tested or describe the results report. Trust signals reflect Blue Horizon Medicals' Trustpilot score of 4.2 from 395 reviews, UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and a trading history back to 2009. Results are reviewed by a doctor, though as with the provider's other tests, doctor commentary isn't included by default; it's an extra you select at checkout.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want to review your diet against a broad list of 260 foods and drinks from a single home finger-prick sample, without needing a clinic or nurse visit. Because it measures IgG antibody levels rather than diagnosing anything, it works best as one input alongside advice from a GP or dietitian rather than a stand-alone answer.

If breadth of food coverage matters most to you, Check My Body Health's tests cover many more foods, up to 1500, for considerably less money; if you would rather stay with an established provider and don't mind the five-day wait, this test sits in the middle of the market on both price and coverage.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home using the kit provided, or opt for a venous draw at a clinic or a nurse home visit, then post the sample back to the lab in the envelope supplied. Once received, the sample is tested against the full panel of foods and drinks, the results are reviewed by a doctor, and you receive them within five working days.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 260 foods and drinks from a single finger-prick sample at home.
  • Priced close to the £139 median for its comparison group.
  • Above-average breadth: 260 foods against a group median of 218.
  • No need for a clinic or nurse visit unless you prefer venous collection.

Cons

  • Doctor commentary isn't included by default; it's an extra you select at checkout.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Broad 260-food IgG panel near the £139 median
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This test measures IgG antibody reactions to 260 foods and drinks from a single finger-prick sample taken at home. At £134.25 it sits close to the £139 median for its comparison group, cheaper than YorkTest's 200-food Premium test (£139) and Randox's 200-food Food Sensitivity test (£178), though Check My Body Health's tests cover far more foods for much less, from £26.99 for 650. The main caveat is the five-day turnaround, longer than most other Blue Horizon tests.
