Your body can react to a “troublesome” food in several different ways, and how your body reacts to that food depends on whether you have food sensitivity, food intolerance, or food allergy. It’s not uncommon for confusion to exist around the fact that allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities aren’t interchangeable.
To avoid misunderstandings, and repeated tests, as well as save your time and money, in My Food Navigation we offer the most complete test that includes all 3 parameters and 923 foods: food sensitivity, food intolerance, and food allergy. We aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of your body’s reaction to different foods. This can help you optimise your diet, reduce your symptoms, and improve your overall health and wellbeing.
In the following sections, we’ll explore each of these types of adverse reactions to food.
A food intolerance can occur if, for example, you don’t have enough of the right enzymes your body needs to break down a particular food. (Enzymes are special proteins in the body that dramatically speed up chemical reactions.)
An example of food intolerance is lactose intolerance. Lactose is a type of sugar commonly found in cow’s milk. If you’re lactose intolerant, your body doesn’t produce enough lactase – the enzyme that breaks down lactose. So it’s hard for your body to digest lactose effectively, resulting in unpleasant symptoms when you drink a glass of milk or eat dairy products.
Unlike food allergies, food intolerances don’t involve an immune system response – they all take place inside the gut before digestion occurs.
What are the common Food Intolerance Symptoms?
- Weight Gain
- Tiredness or Chronic Fatigue Migraine and Aches
- Bloating and Edema
- Joint Pain
- IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
- Skin Problems (acne and eczema)
- Abdominal pain or cramps
- Brain fog
These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can occur anywhere from a few hours to a few days after consuming the offending food. It is important to note that the symptoms of food intolerance can vary widely from person to person and can be difficult to diagnose without proper testing.
When you eat a food you’re allergic to, your immune system responds by activating the IgE antibodies in your blood. Those antibody-food interactions result in the production of a chemical called histamine. Histamine is a type of substance your immune system makes. When immune cells release histamine in your body, you might experience any number of allergy symptoms. With food allergies, symptoms usually appear almost as soon as you’ve eaten the trigger food.If you’re allergic to a certain food, you can experience a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction whenever you eat that food. For this reason, it is important to know your allergens, including hidden ones.
What are the mild Food Allergy symptoms?
- Tingling or itching of your face, lips, mouth, tongue
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Hives or skin rash or itchy skin
- Runny nose, sneezing, or congestion
- Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea
What are the serious Food Allergy symptoms?
- Tightening of your airways, wheezing, chest tightness, or being unable to breathe
- Swollen lips, tongue, throat, or sensation of a lump in your throat
- Rapid pulse, dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting
The symptoms of a food allergy can occur within minutes to a few hours after consuming the offending food. In some cases, symptoms may be delayed and may not appear until several hours later.
Food sensitivity occurs when the body can’t completely digest a particular food and the proteins of this food enter the bloodstream undissolved and cause an immune system reaction.The immune system recognizes amino acids, uses them, and does not respond to them. In a healthy metabolism, the proteins are extracted to amino acids. However, due to enzyme deficiencies or other health-related issues, if the protein enters the bloodstream undissolved, the body thinks these proteins are invaders attacking the body, and the immune system fights the attacking proteins by producing IgG antibodies. This process often results in inflammation which can cause many different types of negative symptoms.
What are the common Food Sensitivity symptoms?
- Headaches, Migraines
- Bloating, gas, constipation
- Diarrhea
- Indigestion
- Gastrointestinal distress
- Joint pain
- Stomach or abdominal pain
- Fatigue
- Mood swings or irritability
Symptoms usually don’t appear as soon as you eat the problem food. Instead, you might have symptoms hours or days after eating that food.

My Food Navigation helps you discover which foods in your diet may be a source of symptoms.
The results of My Food Navigation test will provide you with a comprehensive report detailing your specific food intolerances, sensitivities, and allergies. This report will include a list of foods and food components that you should avoid, as well as a list of foods that are safe for you to eat.
Each food will be rated on a group scale of Green (normal reactivity) or red (high reactivity). A high reactivity can mean that there’s a possibility that food can give you symptoms- making that food an ideal candidate to include in your list to remove from a diet for 4-6 months.
It is important to note that My Food Navigation test is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment. If you have any concerns about your health, it is always best to speak with a healthcare provider. The test results should be used as a tool to inform dietary choices and improve overall health and wellbeing.
Our recommendation is to remove food from the “red list” from a diet for 4-6 months. You may notice changes in your energy levels, digestion, and overall health during this time.
It is important to note that My Food Navigation test is a tool to help you better understand your body’s reaction to certain foods, and that your dietary needs may change over time. It is recommended that you retest periodically, especially if you experience new or worsening symptoms, or if you have made significant changes to your diet.
The answer to this question may vary from person to person, depending on their individual test results and medical history. In general, if food is listed as “red” on My Food Navigation test results, it means that you may have a higher risk of experiencing negative symptoms or reactions when consuming that food. It is generally recommended to avoid or limit the consumption of these foods for a period of time, to allow your body to heal and recover.
However, this does not necessarily mean that you must eliminate these foods from your diet for the rest of your life. After a period of elimination, some people may be able to reintroduce certain foods in small amounts without negative symptoms, while others may need to continue to avoid them altogether.
To accurately understand the changes, it is recommended to do My Food Navigation test every 6- 12 months.
The frequency with which you should do My Food Navigation test will depend on your individual needs and goals. If you have identified specific food intolerances or allergies, it is important to avoid those foods indefinitely to prevent symptoms from occurring. For food sensitivities, you may be able to reintroduce certain foods into your diet after a period of avoidance, but it is recommended to monitor any changes in symptoms.
If you make significant changes to your diet, such as introducing new foods or eliminating certain foods, it may be helpful to repeat My Food Navigation test to reassess your food sensitivities and intolerances.
It is also recommended to repeat the test periodically, such as every 6- 12 months, to assess any changes in your body’s reaction to certain foods. Our bodies can change over time, and what may not have caused a reaction in the past may cause symptoms now.
My Food Navigation test is usually not covered by insurance, as it is considered a non-medical test. However, it may be worth checking with your insurance provider to see if they offer any coverage or reimbursement for this type of testing.
It is also important to note that even if the test is not covered by insurance, it may still be a worthwhile investment in your health and well-being. By identifying foods that may be causing symptoms or health issues, you can make informed dietary changes that could improve your quality of life. Additionally, investing in your health proactively can help you avoid more costly medical expenses down the line.
