It is strongly advised not to send out your samples when you suspect or tested positive to Covid-19 / Coronavirus. We strongly advise to learn about the worldwide standards and lockdown or isolation at: https://www.un.org/en/coronavirus . You help to save lives.
Is it safe to take an allergy and intolerance test?
In all laboratories including ours, a strict policy active at all times. Our staff adhere to the hygienic standards that belong in a laboratory and all testing stations are cleansed after every test. Our staff rinse and wash with professional hand sanitisers, wear protective gloves, coats, hair nets and glasses. As we send your results through email there are no objects leaving our compounds.
Are the results affected by an undiagnosed case of Covid-19/Coronavirus?
The Covid-19/Coronavirus has no effect on your results.
Will there be a delay in the turnaround time?
As this is a worldwide phenomenon; postal services, staff and laboratory technicians can feel a delay in their regular processing times, therefor there may be a small delay in the time it takes us to process samples.
FAQ: Intolerances / Allergies and Sensitivies
What is a Food Intolerance?
What is the difference between a food sensitivity, allergy or intolerance?
We use the word allergy in our name because it is generally used when people have eaten or drank something and have symptoms. However, only 2% of adults have an allergy and 45% of the population suffers from food sensitivities. You can’t beat an allergy but you can beat a food sensitivity.
You can read about the nuances here Allergy and Immunology
Do food items need to be in your system for the lab to detect an intolerance?
Is treatment available for allergies?
I’m intolerant to a food that I’ve never eaten; why did it show up on my results?
Because Myfoodallergy tests your reaction to individual food proteins, it is possible that your body is intolerant to the protein found in gluten while still testing negative for the protein found in barley, oat, wheat or spelt. Still, since these items contain gluten, it is recommended that you avoid them.
Why can't I receive a report of all of the items tested for?
What happens to my hair sample after the test?
FAQ: Orders
I can't see my orders
Most likely you have purchased the test as a guest and later decide to log in. Due to the nature of fast and effortless guest checkouts, the order is separated from your account email.
If you decide to login later and can’t find the order, send us an email and our technical staff will manually attach your account email to your order number.
Due to privacy and the nature of guest checkouts, this process cannot be automated.
Is it possible to determine your intolerances by yourself?
Can I understand the results by myself?
Is Myfoodallergytest covered by insurance?
Is your Payment System / Website Secure?
My order is completed, but I didn't receive anything
We do not send out testing kits. That’s why the order is set to completed once the payment is dealt with. However some banks take a while to process the payment and the chance is high your order would state as being “processing”. We do follow up once your registration form has been filled in and your hair samples have been submitted.
I have not purchased from the internet before, how can I be certain you will complete and send out the tests?
Why we maintain such competitive pricing.
Can you test against specific items not included on the standard test?
We have completed specific tests for many customers to help them narrow down their allergies. This has included a range of items, from specific foods, hair and also feathers from pets and leaves from house plants. We can test medication and household products, please mail us to discuss this before sending them through.
What do the “reaction degrees” on the results report mean?
In the report you will find four headings. The first section is the list of all the food intolerances, the second section is the list of all the non-food intolerances, the third section is the list of all the nutrition items and the fourth section is the list of all metals.
Some of the items will have a further explanation next to them to further detail the intolerances. Everything on the food intolerances and non-food intolerances here has an intolerance level of over 60% as you will see from the percentage levels on the right hand side.
The reason we report only above this threshold is because 85% is the point at which you would expect to start experiencing symptoms from an intolerance.
Everything on the list of nutrition has an level under 15%. The reason we report only under this threshold is because 15% is the point at wich you would expect to start experiencing symptoms from a deficiency.
With regards to your metals test results, these are a guide to what heavy metals you have shown a sensitivity to that metal and they are shown as a numerical value in a ‘LOW ‘, ‘MEDIUM’ or ‘HIGH’ level.
