Food Sensitivity: investigate the food-related patterns behind your symptoms
For symptoms that flare after meals: get a guided elimination plan instead of fear-based restriction.
This may be worth exploring if...
Food reactions are not always obvious. These are common reasons patients choose the Food Sensitivity test.
Why specialty testing is different
Normal is not the same as optimal, and a test is not the same as interpretation.
The report is only the beginning
The Food Sensitivity test helps evaluate how strongly your immune cells react to 170 foods and food-chemicals, ranked to guide a structured elimination plan. Nuvitru uses it as lab data for optional interpretation; sensitivity is not the same as allergy.
Use the lab menu to match your symptoms and goals to the panel that fits the question.
Pricing reflects the lab test only; assessment and interpretation are purchased separately.
When results return, they are uploaded to your patient portal and our team texts you.
Purchase a new patient session or join a care plan to connect the dots and decide next steps.
Is this the right test for you?
A good fit if...
Symptoms that flare after meals
You want a structured, guided elimination plan
Bloating, fatigue, skin, or headache patterns
You would rather have data than restrict at random
Maybe not the right fit if...
You need emergency or urgent care
You want a diagnosis or treatment without a clinician evaluation
You want the lab alone to create your plan
A different test may be a better first step for you
What is included
Questions patients ask before ordering
What does the Food Sensitivity test measure?
It measures your immune cells' mediator-release response to 170 foods and food-chemicals, then ranks them into reactivity tiers to guide a personalized eating plan.
Is a sensitivity the same as a food allergy?
No. Sensitivity reflects a delayed, non-allergic inflammatory pattern. A true allergy is a different immune response; if that is your concern, the Food Allergy test is a better fit.
Should I cut out foods based on results?
Not on your own. Results guide a structured, temporary elimination-and-reintroduction plan with your practitioner. This page and this test are designed to avoid fear-based restriction.
How is the sample collected?
With a quick blood draw at a partner lab; we arrange the requisition for you.
Is this a diagnostic test?
No. It is an educational and clinical decision-support tool. It highlights patterns to explore with a practitioner and does not, on its own, diagnose or treat any condition.
How long do results take?
Most results return about 2-3 weeks after the lab receives your sample. Timing can vary, and we confirm current turnaround before fulfillment.
Do I need to stop supplements or medications?
Sometimes. Certain supplements or medications can affect specific markers, so we send prep instructions and confirm what to pause. Never stop a prescription without your prescriber's guidance.
Can I order this without becoming a patient?
Yes, you can order without officially becoming a patient, but the care plan is where the magic happens. We encourage you to at least schedule a new patient session to get the most out of your results.
What happens after results come back?
We upload them into your patient portal and send you a text to let you know it has been uploaded. You can text our care team to schedule your new patient session if that is something you're wanting to do.
What if this is not the right test for me?
That is why choosing the right test matters. We can redirect you toward a better first step before a kit ships or a draw is arranged.
Start with data, leave with a plan.
