A test that consumers can use in the home to determine whether they have food intolerance has been launched by the company Cambridge Nutritional Sciences in the UK. It is reported to test for food specific IgG reactions to 59 commonly eaten foods, providing results in 40 minutes.

Further details on the test, including an instructional video are available at www.food-detective.com. The company also offers a professional laboratory test for food intolerance using a small blood sample that is collected at home or by a health professional.
