FOX2 - food intolerance test

What is the FOX2 test?

The FOX2 test is an advanced food intolerance test that analyzes IgG antibodies to 286 different food items. This test is beneficial for individuals who suspect delayed reactions to food, which can cause digestive issues, fatigue, headaches, and even skin problems. Unlike traditional allergy tests, it does not measure IgE antibodies, which are responsible for immediate allergic reactions, but instead analyzes IgG responses associated with delayed immune reactions. This means that the FOX2 test can detect food intolerances that may not be immediately apparent but could have long-term health effects, including inflammation, digestive disturbances, and decreased energy.

One of the main reasons the FOX2 test is important is because it precisely tracks the body’s responses to specific foods, which can be crucial in diagnosing and managing chronic issues related to food. This test is invaluable for people experiencing unrecognized or atypical symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and migraines, which are often not linked to known allergies. The FOX2 test also allows for creating a personalized dietary plan that reduces the intake of certain foods that cause intolerance, thus easing symptoms and improving overall health. Like the ALEX2 test, the FOX2 test uses a blood sample, making it a straightforward and safe procedure for patients.
