An at-home finger-prick IgG test for children aged 2 to 17, measuring reactivity to over 100 foods and drinks. Suited to families exploring whether a child's diet may be linked to symptoms.
60 biomarkers as listed by YorkTest, of 100 in total.
The Junior Food Intolerance Test measures IgG antibody reactions to over 100 individual foods and drinks, including common items such as milk, wheat, egg yolk and various meats and fruits. It is designed specifically for children aged 2 to 17, with support materials including a formal letter for the child's school and continued customer care guidance.
Within its food intolerance (IgG) comparison group, its 100 markers sit below the group median of 218, and its £132 price is close to the £139 group median. Against the one directly comparable named peer, Check My Body Health's Children's Food Intolerance Test, which also tests 100 markers, this test is £7 cheaper.
It scores reasonably for Clinical depth given its lower marker count relative to some intolerance panels, and well for Trust signals, reflecting YorkTest's Trustpilot rating of 4.8 from 3,257 reviews, its UKAS-accredited lab, and 44 years of trading. It scores lower for Results and follow-up because, as with all YorkTest tests, results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, though an optional consultation with a Nutritional Therapist is available.
This suits parents or guardians who want to test whether a child's diet might be linked to symptoms, using the same 100-marker panel as Check My Body Health's Children's Food Intolerance Test but for £7 less. If you want a much larger panel and don't mind a different provider's methodology, Check My Body Health's Essential Food Intolerance Test covers 229 markers for £169, though panel sizes vary widely between providers and are not directly comparable marker-for-marker. It is not the right choice if you want a doctor to review your child's results as standard.
Your child takes an at-home finger-prick blood sample, suitable from age 2 to 17, which is returned to YorkTest's laboratory for IgG analysis. Results are provided as traffic-light intolerance values within a stated 7 days, alongside a formal letter that can be given to the child's school if needed. An optional 30-minute consultation with a Nutritional Therapist is available to discuss the results. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
Priced at £132, the Junior Food Intolerance Test measures IgG reactivity to over 100 foods and drinks for children aged 2 to 17. That is £7 below Check My Body Health's Children's Food Intolerance Test, which tests the same number of markers for £139, and close to the £139 median for its comparison group. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
