Food Sensitivity and Pet Sensitivity Test

Do you ever get an upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, or feel sleepy after eating? Do you suddenly have itchy eyes or difficulty breathing and suspect you might be sensitive to your new kitten’s dander? If you’re searching for answers and looking for a food sensitivity test, or believe you have pet allergies, the HomeDNA Food & Pet Sensitivity DNA Test is a great place to start.

The personalized report from this DNA pet and food sensitivity test tells you whether you are genetically more sensitive or less sensitive to these specific irritants: gluten, lactose, cow-milk protein, egg, peanut, pet dander, histamine, and more. This at-home test kit gives you detailed information from your DNA about factors that may be causing discomfort from the inside out.

Results include your genetic predisposition for sensitivity to:

1. Gluten—Gluten is a protein in wheat, barley, and rye. Humans do not have the enzymes to break down gluten, leaving tiny particles in the digestive tract that may cause sensitivities for certain individuals.
2. Lactose—Lactose is a sugar found in animal-sourced milk and dairy products. Certain genetic markers may make it more likely to have difficulty digesting foods containing lactose.
3. Cow Milk Protein—Milk is made up of water, fat, lactose, minerals, and protein. Sensitivity to milk protein is not the same as lactose sensitivity, but it is one of the most common ones for children.
4. Egg—Egg sensitivities are very common, and many people are sensitive to the white part, called albumin, versus the yolk.
5. Peanut—Peanut sensitivity is extremely common and is often passed down through generations.
6. Other Foods—Many people are sensitive to other foods that are different from the ones included elsewhere in this test; they may include tree nuts, soy, corn, yeast, fish, and shellfish.
7. Pet Dander—Pet dander consists of tiny particles of skin shed from animals that have hair, fur, or feathers. Certain genetic markers may make an individual more sensitive to contact with dander.
8. Histamine—Histamine is a natural compound that may be found in foods that are aged and fermented, red wine, and more. Some people have an inability to break down excess histamine, which can cause sensitivities.

In addition to giving conclusions about your sensitivity to individual irritants, the report also provides comprehensive and detailed diet, lifestyle, and supplement tips based on your results, so you can start making proactive changes right away.

Relief is in sight—you really can lead a more comfortable life.
