This convenient test gives you detailed information from your DNA about the factors that may be causing discomfort from the inside out.
Our food sensitivity test provides actionable and reliable answers from your DNA.
Do you ever have an upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, or feel drowsy after eating? Are your eyes suddenly itchy or short of breath and you suspect you might be sensitive to your new kitty's dander? In your search for answers and solutions for relief, the HomeDNA Food & Pet Sensitivity DNA test is a great place to start.
Our personalized DNA test report tells you if you are genetically more sensitive or less sensitive to these specific irritants: gluten, lactose, cow's milk protein, egg, peanut, pet dander, histamine and more. The pet and food sensitivity test gives you detailed information from your DNA about factors that may be causing discomfort from the inside out.
About this test
We collect your DNA sample with a buccal swab. With this science-based analysis, specific genes related to the most common irritants are analyzed in our accredited laboratory.
Result in 8 weeks.
Results include your genetic predisposition for sensitivity to:
Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Humans don't have the enzymes to break down gluten, leaving small particles in the digestive tract that can cause sensitivities in certain people.
Lactose: Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy products of animal origin. Certain genetic markers can make it more likely that you will have trouble digesting foods that contain lactose. Cow's milk protein: Milk is made up of water, fat, lactose, minerals and protein. Milk protein sensitivity is not the same as lactose sensitivity, but it is one of the most common in children.
Egg: Sensitivity to eggs is very common, and many people are sensitive to the white part, called albumin, compared to the yolk.
Peanuts: Peanut sensitivity is extremely common and is often passed down from generation to generation.
Other foods: Many people are sensitive to other foods that are different from those included in other parts of this test; may include tree nuts, soybeans, corn, yeast, fish and shellfish
Pet dander: Pet dander consists of small particles of shed skin from animals that have hair, fur, or feathers. Certain genetic markers can make an individual more sensitive to dandruff.
Histamine: Histamine is a naturally occurring compound that can be found in aged and fermented foods, red wine, and more. Some people have an inability to break down excess histamine, which can cause sensitivities
In addition to providing insights into your sensitivity to individual irritants, the report also provides comprehensive, detailed diet, lifestyle, and supplement advice based on your results, so you can start making proactive changes right away.
