We're pleased to announce that we now offer our complete report package in both English and French.
Food sensitivity testing is a laboratory test in which blood is analyzed to test individual reactions to foods. The ImuPro test, available exclusively from FITLabs, tests foods individually and allows the patients to change their diet very selectively based on their results.
Food intolerance or IgG food sensitivity (type III) is a growing concern among many patients and their health care providers. This is largely due to the difficulty drawing a straight line between certain foods and the chronic complaints that a food sensitivity might be causing. FITLabs’ test – exclusively sourced from ImuPro – helps overcome that uncertainty.
The test – developed by ImuPro and offered exclusively in Canada by FITLabs – detects the levels of specific-IgG antibodies against a variety of foods. Using blood samples derived from DBS (dried blood spot), laboratory analysis is able to quantify the level of IgG antibodies to particular food proteins.
The patient’s blood sample is analyzed to determine the presence of specific IgG antibodies to a broad variety of foodstuffs in the patient’s blood. The test is carried out using the Enzyme-linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) test method. This is a very reliable standard procedure in laboratory analysis.
We then provide a comprehensive test report, personal nutritional guidelines, and for those who selected the ImuPro 270, we also provide a recipe book customized to the report results.

Our muesli for breakfast, our lunch in the cafeteria, and the birthday cream tart. Yet our intestines can do much more than just taking care of digestion or excretion. They control what gets in, […]
