What is food sensitivity (intolerance)?
Food sensitivity refers to the body overreacting to a particular food. This reaction is usually triggered by the immune system and can lead to allergic reactions or intolerances.
An allergic reaction is when the body overreacts to a normally harmless substance, and it can cause serious symptoms. With an intolerance, the body has difficulty digesting a particular food; this reaction is usually not as severe as an allergic reaction. Food sensitivities can be genetic or acquired over a lifetime.
What is the Fox food sensitivity test?
It is a food intolerance test that tests for sensitivity to 286 foods and food additives in a single test. Food sensitivity can cause health problems such as difficulty losing weight, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, eczema, psoriasis, chronic fatigue and migraine.

Why does it matter?
- Nutrition is one of the key factors in a healthy life.
- Many publications show the link between a healthy life and a healthy gut.
- Over time, food sensitivity disrupts gut integrity and leads to health problems.
- Identifying and eliminating food sensitivities is important for keeping serious health problems such as IBS, IBD and Crohn's disease under control.
- Significant improvements have been seen with an "elimination diet" that removes the foods to which a person is sensitive.
