Most people who end up doing food intolerance testing have already tried everything else. Years of food diaries. Eliminating gluten. Cutting dairy. Trying low FODMAP. Getting tested for coeliac. Everything comes back fine or inconclusive, and the symptoms keep showing up anyway.
What reliable food intolerance testing through ImuPro does differently is measure your immune system’s actual response to specific foods, not symptoms, not subjective observations, but IgG antibody levels in your blood.
Why Symptoms Alone Won’t Tell You
Bloating after eating could be a reaction to wheat, dairy, eggs, yeast, a spice in the sauce, or something else entirely. The same symptom has dozens of possible food causes. And because IgG reactions are delayed by up to three days, working backwards from how you feel to what caused it is genuinely unreliable without testing.
This delay catches people out constantly. You eat something on Monday. Feel terrible on Wednesday. Never make the connection.
What the Blood Serum Test Actually Measures
ImuPro uses ELISA-based blood serum testing, a clinically established method for detecting specific IgG antibodies. Your blood sample is drawn at a pathology centre, centrifuged to separate the serum, and sent to ImuPro’s certified laboratory in Germany for analysis.
The results show your IgG antibody levels for every tested food, categorised as not elevated, elevated, or highly elevated. This gives you a specific picture of your individual immune response rather than a generic list of common trigger foods.
Serum testing is more stable and reproducible than whole blood testing. It can be safely transported at room temperature for up to a week, refrigerated for three weeks, or frozen for months without compromising sample integrity.
Picking the Right Test
ImuPro offers four testing options depending on your needs.
Screen+ tests 44 common trigger foods. A good starting point if budget is a consideration.
Basic 90 tests 90 foods with personalised nutritional guidelines included.
Complete 270 tests 270 foods and additives, the most comprehensive option on the market and the only test covering herbs, spices, sweeteners, preservatives, and thickening agents in this detail.
Vegetarian 221 covers the same range as the Complete test without meat and fish.
The Complete and Vegetarian tests also include a recipe booklet tailored to your specific results.
The Histamine Intolerance Add-On
Histamine intolerance mimics food sensitivity symptoms. Flushing, hives, headaches, IBS-type reactions after red wine, aged cheese, or fermented foods.
ImuPro’s Histamine Intolerance test measures DAO enzyme activity. Low DAO means your body struggles to break down histamine from food. This can be tested on the same blood sample as the IgG test, either as a bundle or as a standalone.
If you’ve suspected histamine is part of your picture, testing both simultaneously saves time and gives a combined result.
How the Three Phases Work
After results, the process follows three phases. Elimination removes all highly elevated and elevated foods for five weeks, allowing inflammation to reduce. Provocation reintroduces foods one by one to identify confirmed triggers versus incidental elevations. Stabilisation settles on a sustainable dietary approach based on your confirmed reactivity.
ImuPro walks you through each phase with structured guidelines rather than leaving you to interpret results on your own.
