Find Out What Foods Are Triggering Your Skin Condition

Food sensitivities can be a big trigger to skin conditions like Eczema and Keratosis Pilaris. If you constantly eat foods that your body is sensitive to, it will make you feel very unwell over time and will cause a lot of other health problems not just your skin condition.

But before you start eliminating all sorts of foods in your diet in hope to eliminate your skin condition, getting a food sensitivity blood test will take all of the guess work out for you so you know exactly what foods are triggering your skin problems.

What Is Involved In The Test?

The Food Detectives test takes approximately 40 minutes and involves taking a small blood sample from your fingertip which is then diluted and used with the combination of solutions to detect the presence of food antibodies.

If your body is creating IgG antibodies to particular foods this means you have food sensitivities. Dark blue circles will appear on the tray only under the foods that you are reacting to.

When there is no colour it indicates that you do not have any problems with that food and can eat that food freely without a negative reaction.
