Food and pet sensitivity DNA test
About the test
Genetic information about sensitivity-related predispositions
This test analyses selected genetic variants that the laboratory associates with food metabolism and certain sensitivity-related predispositions. The report provides their interpretation.
This is not an allergy test. It does not determine whether a particular food or animal causes your symptoms and does not confirm that contact with it is safe.
What topics are covered?
The product report covers topics related to lactose, gluten, milk proteins, eggs, peanuts, histamine and pet dander. The significance of the genetic associations varies between topics.
Predisposition is not a diagnosis
A genetic variant alone does not confirm an allergy, food intolerance or histamine intolerance. The cause of symptoms is established by assessing medical history and, when needed, performing appropriate clinical tests.
How should the report be used?
Discuss the results with your doctor. Do not eliminate large food groups based solely on this report, and do not try foods to which you have a diagnosed allergy.

Frequently asked questions
Will the test identify an allergy to cats, milk or nuts?
No. This genetic test cannot replace allergy diagnosis.
Are lactose and milk proteins the same thing?
No. Lactose is milk sugar, while an allergy to milk proteins is a different condition. These concepts must not be equated.
Does a lower genetic predisposition mean there is no allergy?
No. Such a result does not rule out an allergy and is not permission to try a suspected allergen.
Will the test explain my digestive symptoms?
This test alone does not establish their cause. Recurring symptoms should be discussed with a doctor.
