Why The FIT Test is different?

Some food sensitivity tests that are offered by different labs are just single-pathway tests that detect only the IgG which indicates food exposure but NOT necessarily food that causes Inflammation. IgG only tests are a single-pathway approach that merely identifies food exposure versus the multi-pathway approach which detects inflammation by identifying foods that cause your symptoms. By contrast, the food sensitivity test offered by KBMO Diagnostics, The FIT Test, is a unique multi-pathway test that detects both IgG 1-4 and C3d which indicates not only food exposure but simultaneously indicates which foods are likely involved in inflammation and leaky gut. The net result is that IgG only tests are non-specific because they identify many foods which do not cause inflammation whereas, the FIT Test is very specific and more accurately identifies those foods causing inflammation.

The FIT test is a multi-pathway test that takes much of the guesswork out of food sensitivity testing by zeroing in on the key foods, that cause inflammation. In conjunction with the test report, KBMO provides a patient phone App so problem foods can be identified quickly while out to eat or when shopping at the market along with a 7-day meal plan to guide your diet.
