What Is Food Intolerance Testing?

Food Intolerance Testing is a diagnostic tool designed to identify foods that may be causing inflammation, digestive distress, or other subtle symptoms that affect your energy, mood, and metabolism. Unlike immediate allergic reactions, food intolerances create slow, cumulative effects in the body, making them difficult to detect without precise testing.

At Auri Aesthetics in Gilbert, we use advanced laboratory testing to measure your body’s immune and inflammatory responses to specific foods. This insight allows us to develop a tailored nutrition and wellness plan that reduces discomfort, optimizes digestion, and supports both internal health and outward vitality.

The Auri Approach to Nutritional Wellness

At Auri, we see food as a form of medicine and a reflection of how the body communicates. Our approach to Food Intolerance Testing combines science, clinical expertise, and personalization. Each patient receives a customized analysis of food reactivity, guided by medical providers who understand the complex relationship between diet, hormones, and inflammation.

We integrate testing results into a broader wellness framework, connecting nutrition to skin health, hormonal balance, metabolism, and mood.

Our Process

  • Initial consultation: Review of symptoms, dietary habits, and medical history
  • Laboratory testing: Simple blood or saliva test to evaluate immune reactivity to various foods
  • Comprehensive analysis: Identification of reactive or inflammatory triggers
  • Personalized plan: Dietary guidance and supplement recommendations for rebalancing
  • Ongoing follow-up: Monitoring progress and adjusting the plan as your body heals

This process allows us to pinpoint the foods contributing to chronic fatigue, bloating, headaches, or inflammation and guide you toward clarity and balance through informed nutrition.

Understanding Food Intolerances

Food intolerances differ from allergies. Allergies trigger immediate immune reactions mediated by IgE antibodies, while intolerances involve delayed, low-grade inflammation typically associated with IgG or other immune responses. This means the symptoms may appear hours or even days after eating certain foods, making patterns difficult to identify without testing.

Common intolerance symptoms include:

  • Bloating or abdominal discomfort
  • Fatigue or “brain fog”
  • Joint pain or stiffness
  • Skin breakouts or eczema
  • Mood swings or irritability
  • Headaches or sinus congestion
  • Weight fluctuations

By identifying these hidden triggers, our providers help you design a nutritional strategy that nourishes your body without unnecessary restriction or guesswork.

Common Food Triggers We Test For

Auri’s Food Intolerance Testing in Gilbert, AZ, covers a wide range of dietary categories, including:

  • Dairy: Casein, whey, milk proteins
  • Gluten and Grains: Wheat, barley, rye, oats
  • Proteins: Chicken, beef, pork, fish, shellfish

  • Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, peanuts, cashews, sesame

What to Expect During Testing

The testing process is simple and minimally invasive. After a brief consultation, a blood or saliva sample is collected to measure your immune system’s response to common foods. The sample is then analyzed in a certified lab, and results are typically available within two to three weeks.

Once your report is complete, your provider will schedule a consultation to interpret the findings and build a personalized plan.

Next Steps After Results

  • Begin a structured elimination or rotation diet based on your reactive foods
  • Incorporate gut-healing nutrients such as probiotics, L-glutamine, or collagen support
  • Address inflammation through hydration, sleep, and balanced movement
  • Reintroduce foods gradually as tolerance improves
  • Continue check-ins for guidance and progress evaluation

Results and Longevity

Most patients notice improvements in energy, digestion, and skin clarity within a few weeks of adjusting their diet. Over time, reduced inflammation supports hormone balance, stable weight, and overall wellness.

Because your gut and immune system evolve with lifestyle and stress, retesting once every 12 to 18 months helps maintain optimal health and prevent new sensitivities from developing.

Food Intolerance Testing FAQs

How is Food Intolerance Testing different from allergy testing?

Allergy testing identifies immediate, potentially severe immune reactions, while intolerance testing detects delayed responses that contribute to inflammation and subtle symptoms.

Will I need to cut out foods permanently?

Not necessarily. Many intolerances improve once inflammation is reduced and the gut is healed. Your provider will guide you on reintroduction timing.

How long does it take to feel better after adjusting my diet?

Most patients notice improved digestion and energy within two to four weeks, with continued progress over several months.

Can this test help with skin or weight issues?

Yes. Many skin concerns, mood changes, and metabolic challenges stem from inflammation caused by hidden food sensitivities. Identifying and reducing those triggers can lead to visible improvement.

Can Food Intolerance Testing be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Many patients pair it with Gut Biome Testing, Hormone Replacement Therapy, or IV Vitamin Therapy for a complete, data-driven wellness plan.
