FAST Test
The FAST Food Allergy Test identifies foods that may trigger allergic or inflammatory responses in your body. By detecting these sensitivities, the test helps you make informed dietary changes to support long-term wellness, better digestion, and clear skin.
What Is the FAST Test?
The FAST Food Allergy Sensitivity Test is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic test designed to identify food sensitivities and allergies that may be affecting your health. Many people experience symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, headaches, or skin irritation without realizing that certain foods could be the cause. The FAST Test analyzes your immune response to a wide range of common foods to reveal which ingredients may be triggering inflammation or intolerance.
By identifying these sensitivities, patients can make informed dietary changes that support better digestion, clearer skin, and improved energy levels. The FAST Test is ideal for anyone seeking to understand their body’s reactions to food and take control of their health through personalized nutrition.
How the FAST Test Works
The FAST Test works by examining the body’s immune response using a small blood sample. This sample is analyzed for two key antibodies—IgE and IgG—which play a role in allergic and delayed sensitivity reactions. When your immune system reacts to a particular food, it produces these antibodies as a defense mechanism.
Laboratory specialists measure these antibody levels across a comprehensive panel of foods, including dairy, gluten, nuts, shellfish, eggs, soy, and more. Elevated antibody levels indicate possible sensitivities. Once testing is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining the foods your body reacts to, along with the level of reactivity. Healthcare providers then help interpret the findings and design a personalized diet plan, often recommending an elimination or rotation diet to reduce inflammation and restore balance.
The process is quick, painless, and does not require fasting or special preparation.
Conditions Detected by the FAST Test
The FAST Test identifies food sensitivities that can contribute to a wide range of chronic symptoms and conditions, including:
- Digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea
- Headaches or migraines
- Skin problems like eczema, acne, or rashes
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Joint pain or inflammation
- Weight management difficulties
- Sinus congestion or respiratory irritation
By pinpointing the foods behind these reactions, the FAST Test provides a clear roadmap toward better health. With accurate insights, patients can modify their diet, support gut healing, and enjoy long-term improvements in energy, immunity, and overall well-being.
