Food Allergy Panel Testing in Phoenix
The food allergy panel tests for foods that may be causing inflammation, gas, bloating, coughing, wheezing, and other symptoms.

Request an AppointmentWhy Test for Food Reactions?
Reactions to food are not always immediate or obvious. Delayed food sensitivities can appear hours or even days after eating and contribute to a wide range of chronic symptoms. Without testing, it can be nearly impossible to know which foods are responsible.
Symptoms That May Be Linked to Food Reactions
- Gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Coughing, wheezing, and congestion
- Skin conditions such as eczema, acne, or hives
- Headaches and migraines
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Joint pain and inflammation
- Difficulty losing weight
How Food Reactions Affect Your Health
Food sensitivities can drive inflammation throughout the body, damage the gut lining, impair nutrient absorption, and burden the immune system. They are often connected to digestive disorders such as IBS and leaky gut, autoimmune conditions, allergies and asthma, and even thyroid function.
What Happens After Testing
Your physician reviews your results with you and creates a personalized plan, which may include an elimination and reintroduction diet through dietary counseling, gut-healing supplements and herbs, and allergy treatments such as sublingual desensitization. Food allergy testing is also available for children. Explore our other specialty labs.
