We turn complex lab results into meaningful insights and action plans that you can understand and follow.
Find out if food is contributing to your symptoms using a simple finger-prick test.
Perhaps you can’t pinpoint why you get migraines, or you suspect that food is behind your sinus or skin issues?
Food sensitivities can cause a broad range of symptoms—from obvious digestive signs such as bloating, diarrhoea and abdominal pain, to less obvious ones like migraines and brain fog—so it can be difficult to know where to start.
Food intolerances, or sensitivities, happen when your body struggles to digest or break down a food.
Symptoms can take anywhere from a few hours to three days to appear, which makes it tricky to identify the true cause.
And it can be hard to tell if it’s really the food causing the issue, or another digestive condition, such as leaky gut, IBS or SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).
One of the biggest causes of a food intolerance is dysbiosis — an imbalance of the communities of bacteria and other microbes in your gut — so as well as identifying any triggers, it may be worth exploring your gut microbiome as a whole.
Find out if foods are causing you problems with this painless, finger-prick blood test.
We look at IgG antibodies to identify which foods you’re reacting to and, unlike other providers, we also ask about your symptoms.

A path to a better, healthier you. That’s why we’re called Healthpath, and why thousands of doctors & practitioners recommend us.

Trying to find solutions to your gut health issues is complicated enough. On top of that, you’ve probably discovered that there are dozens of competing companies in this area – all offering testing, with a wide range of features and prices.
We’d love to take a few moments to help you, to answer your questions or concerns, and to give you some genuine advice.
Yes, we believe there is real value in food sensitivity testing if you know how to interpret the results. Rather than focusing on specific foods, it can be helpful to look at the overall picture presented by the results. If you find you’re sensitive to lots of foods, for example, it could mean that your gut health needs addressing. You may also wish to consider the Leaky Gut Test and the Gut Health Test. Feel free to get in touch with us at hello@healthpath.com if you’d like further guidance.
Not necessarily. If you find you have lots of foods in the ‘red’, it can be more helpful to focus on improving your gut health rather than subjecting yourself to extreme dietary restrictions. Your food intolerance test report will explain this in full detail. If you’d like to know more, feel free to get in touch with us at hello@healthpath.com
People who feel they’re reactive to lots of foods may find this test helpful. If can also be helpful for people who suspect they have food sensitivities but can’t seem to establish any pattern to their symptoms.
At the moment we only ship to UK addresses. If you have a special request, please feel free to get in touch.

This test may be affected by immunosuppressant medications. However, you must not stop any medications in order to take this test. Please speak to your GP first.
You must follow your normal diet before taking the food intolerance test. However, if there’s a food that you’ve avoided for more than 3 months but which you would like tested (e.g. cow’s milk), reintroduce that food. Eat one portion of the food daily for a week before taking the test. For more information, see the test instructions.
If you have any questions or issues with taking your sample according to the instructions provided, it is important you contact us before you send your sample to the lab.
Healthpath cannot guarantee to intercept your sample once it arrives at the lab and so it may still be processed.
Contact us on hello@healthpath.com.
Pregnant women should not take this test as their immune system is suppressed. It should be fine to take the test 4–6 weeks after giving birth.
