Food sensitivities refer to the adverse reactions some individuals experience after consuming certain foods. These reactions differ from classic food allergies. While allergies often result in immediate and potentially severe reactions (like anaphylaxis), sensitivities might result in milder symptoms which can appear hours or even days after ingestion.

Ordering the test was a breeze. When I got the kit, getting the blood sample was easier than I expected and the directions were very clear and helpful. Getting the results was a bit mind-blowing, but very informative as to why I was having the issues I was having.
- Verified Buyer
Everything about was easy and well worth the money spent. I received my result within 10 days from mailing to return results. I’m recommending to many friends. I suffer from chronic atopic dermatitis and now knowing my food triggers is so helpful to avoid outbreaks.
- Verified Buyer
I really was interested in this test. By getting the result I change what I eat on a daily bases .I did get some inflammation down by not eating foods I am allergic to.
- Verified Buyer
Good information to put you on the right path. Learned some unsuspected foods like almonds were an issue.

Q: What is the FoodSafe Combo Panel?
The FoodSafe Combo Panel is a comprehensive food sensitivity test that evaluates reactions to 189 different foods. By combining both the Basic and Extended Panels, it offers a broad spectrum of food sensitivity detection at a more cost-effective price point.
Additionally, the Combo Panel includes a Candida Screen, assessing an individual’s reactivity to Candida—a yeast that, when overgrown, can lead to various health issues, including digestive problems and fatigue.
Q: How Does It Work?
MVL, the pioneering company behind this test, utilizes the well-validated ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) method. This advanced technique measures IgG4 antibodies, which can indicate sensitivities to specific foods.
Q: Understanding the Results:
Once the test is completed, individuals receive a detailed report. This report breaks down the results into three categories:
- Low: Foods in this category have produced minimal to no IgG4 antibodies. They’re unlikely to be causing noticeable symptoms.
- Moderate: Foods here have generated a moderate amount of IgG4 antibodies. Depending on the individual, these foods might be causing some sensitivity symptoms.
- High: These are foods that have led to a high production of IgG4 antibodies. They’re the most likely culprits behind any food sensitivity symptoms an individual might be experiencing.
Q: Why Choose the FoodSafe Combo Panel?
- Comprehensive: By testing for 189 foods, it reduces the chance of missing out on a potential sensitivity.
- Cost-Effective: Combining the Basic and Extended Panels into one test offers savings.
- Additional Candida Screen: Few tests include a Candida assessment, making this a unique feature of the Combo Panel.
- Trusted Methodology: The use of the ELISA method, a gold standard in antibody detection, ensures accurate results.
The FoodSafe Combo Panel, with its broad range and advanced testing methods, stands out in the realm of food sensitivity tests. As always, interpreting and acting on these results under the guidance of a healthcare professional is paramount to ensure overall well-being.
