Product description

The YorkTest Junior Food Intolerance Test is an at-home finger-prick blood test designed to identify food intolerances in children by measuring IgG antibody reactions to a wide range of common foods.

Food intolerances in children can be difficult to identify and may contribute to a range of everyday symptoms including stomach pain, bloating, skin complaints, and fatigue. This test provides parents with clear, evidence-based information to help make informed dietary decisions for their child. The test kit contains everything needed to collect a small finger-prick blood sample at home, which is then sent to YorkTest's accredited laboratory for expert analysis.

Once results are ready, they are delivered through an easy-to-understand report that highlights which foods may be triggering an IgG antibody response in your child. A follow-up consultation with a nutritional therapist is included, offering personalised guidance on how to act on the results and support your child's wellbeing through appropriate dietary adjustments.
