- After transitioning to a lower-carb lifestyle I've always wondered if I had any specific food allergies or sensitivities. I took the Everlywell at home food sensitivity test to see if I could find those answers.

I am not familiar with Everlywell's repeatability coefficient, as I haven't researched them or used their test. However, regarding IgG testing as a marker for health concerns, I can attest to the fact that Immunolabs Bloodprint saved my life, at a time when doctors were useless and killing me with toxic prescriptions and surgeries. I was chronically inflamed. I had a lump growing along my spine near my neck which took two surgeries to remove, by a brain surgeon. Plus, numerous lumps around my ears and scalp that would bleed. They gave me steroids that just burned me and frankly did not improve my condition at all. Then someone suggested I take the immuno bloodprint. I was reactive to 36 foods and egg was a severe reaction. I was eating eggs pretty often. I stopped eating the reactive foods and all the swelling and inflammation went away. I didn't need any medication.
That was 20 years ago. This experience has been repeated over and over with various individuals in my family and those in my network that I have since helped. I only find it helpful to test when someone has significant symptoms that have been difficult to pinpoint causation. If you are generally well, there isn't a need to test. My husband took the test to just see what came up, but he didn't have health issues, and his test was like yours - very little reactivity.
I have argued with doctors regarding the lies that the AAAA&I spreads about IgG testing. AAAA&I and other organizations are highly funded by pharma, note pharma makes shots to give to those who test positive for IgE reactions, however, there is no money to be made with IgG if people do an elimination diet and their illness goes away. The doctors you noted in your video knew nothing personally but were just spouting what they have "learned" from the industry. If you are studying to be in medicine, be mindful that it's hard to know what is real and what is propaganda.
IgG can give false positives, but it can also pinpoint a needle in a haystack for those who are having delayed reactions and don't know how to begin figuring out what's safe and what's not. Food for thought! ;) Best wishes.
Hey thank you.
Very interesting, thanks!
I want to thank you so much for this comment. My four-year old son is non-verbal and has autism. We have been struggling with multiple confirmed IgE food allergies since we brought him home from the hospital. He was allergic to every formula, then when we attempted solids, he started having delayed reactions. He eventually stopped eating and his doctors say that he associates food with discomfort. He has a feeding tube now and we have even struggled to find tube feeding supplements that he does not react to-- most of them have tons of ingredients. My husband and I are so frustrated because our son screams, itches, and scratches constantly. 2 AM- 4 AM delayed reactions have become so common that most nights, we don't expect to sleep. His serum IgE level is insanely high, and all the allergy doc tells us is "He's just a really allergic baby." We can't feed him without a reaction--with the exception of Rice Chex cereal. Anyway, I'm saying all of this to say that I was on the fence about whether I would get this testing done, but your comment here has given me hope that we can find a solution for my son. I am a nurse, but I also see first hand that traditional healthcare is a business and sick people are job security, so I don't necessarily buy the whole "IgG testing is a scam," but I needed confirmation, and I feel that you've given me that. Thank you again for taking time to share your experience.
“Watermelon sugar.... low” 😂 I cracked up at that
That’s really good! I had a lot
On my highly sensitive lost which probably means I have leaky gut so be thankful!
Thank you for this. I have been wanting for a very long time to find out if I'm sensitive to various foods. I just ordered mine today, and I can't wait to share my results in a video!!
Hopefully you get the results you are looking for!
@@kayla.nelson so I just found out that there's 2 types of tests. There's the sensitivity test, which is one that you took. And that test determines how your body digests them and then there's a food allergy test. And that one determines whether you would have a reaction to them. Such as rashes or in my case, rosacea. So that may be why you don't realize that you have a sensitivity to egg whites, because it's more of a digestion issue and not a reaction. I dunno if I made any sense. So now I'm considering returning this sensitivity test and try to find an allergy test to see if I'm allergic to gluten and/ or dairy to determine if that's what's causing my rosacea flair ups.
@@shellynngirl1983 I would return it and get real testing especially if you have real symptoms you are looking for answers for. I know that I am highly reactive to Onions, I always have been. I went to an allergist and had no allergies so I did this and it said I was 0 reactive to Onions which I know is not true. Definitely feeling like it was a waste of money for me.
@@abideluca2214 but if you went to an allergist and found out that you have 0 allergies. Then going to a real clinic to get testing probably wouldn't show any real results either. Maybe it's possible that the type of blood you have can't detect your allergy or sensitivity to onions.
@@abideluca2214 Hopefully you have figured out your allergy situation by now, but you can also try different blood tests which look for IgA/IgD/IgM reactivity if you aren't showing reactivity to IgE (immediate allergies) or IgG slower autoimmune reactions that this tests. You might also try allergy patch testing, where you leave purified antigen stickers on your back for 24-48 hours which are then read by the allergist to look for slower reactions than rapid IgE skin prick testing.
I got my results mid April also. I had no high reactive sensitivity but I did have 27 in the moderate section. Bakers yeast was one of them which I can believe. I was shocked certain things weren't on the list but I know it's different from allergy test.
Notifications are back on track😃
Holy girl you're looking super trim. Always gorgeous. Have a great day
Woohoo! And Aw thank you so much!
First of, thank you for yet another amazing video!
Thank you so much!
And wow that is such a great point! Thanks for sharing.
Your hair looks sooooo good up where you're reading your results
Oh wow thank you! That was a super quick up do 🤣
I’m about to do it right now! But I’m nervous 😬
Omg I just did this a week ago and I had to prick 2 fingers and both like bruised it hurt like hell lol
this was really interesting! you should go to an allergist and make a video comparing those results
Oooh very good idea!
It's not an allergy
Allergies are very different than sensitivities!
@@kayla.nelson Did you ever do any follow up testing for allergies (IgE) or any other food immunoglobulin testing?
They are different though. A sensitivity doesn’t mean it’s an allergy. But it can be affecting you in a way you wouldn’t realize. For example an auto immune disease or a skin issue
what brand and color is your green nail polish?! I love it!
I second this! I need to know! :)
It’s by Essie! It’s their quick dry line in the shade “express to impress” the color online is horrendous but it’s a brighter sage green. I love!
You are lucky you not allergic to many foods. 😅 I have had a blood draw Alcat test done bc I’m an allergic to a lot and have leaky gut and I am thinking about trying this test bc it’s a lot cheaper than the blood draw one. But I appreciate you posting this video!
It works for me with psoriasis if I stay away from the food they say to avoid I clear up.
What happened with the egg whites? Did you test them by eliminating them from your diet?
I was reactive to pretty much everything with protein. Eggs, dairy, soy, wheat, nuts. But I had zero reactivity to the one thing I'm actually allergic to, tomato. I'ma just go live on bacon and lettuce now.
Check out AIP diets. I’m kind of doing it atm and switching up my lifestyle. I had an AI scare recently SO I’ve done a lot of research and so It’s come down to taking out anything with gluten, sugar and dairy :/ anyway I’m just seeing how I go and hopefully I see some results in the next few months :/ lol wish me luck hah.
Allergies are immediate IgE reactions, this only measures IgG reactions which cause slower reactions typically within 48 hours such as celiac disease where your immune system destroys your intestines if gluten/gliadin/transglutaminase are present, there is typically some leaky gut to allow white blood cells to leak into your gut and these food antigens to leak into your blood causing widespread inflammation that can cause other things like skin problems. There are other slow IgA/IgD/IgM immunoglobulins which could cause similar immune destruction and may be available on other testing.
@@PerpetualEnigma IgG tests only tests for exposure not sensitivity. Many experts have stated this. IgE tests are more accurate and is what doctors use, but even then its only an indication of what you might be sensitive/allergic to and needs to be interpreted by a professional.
that's because sensitivities arent allergies!
Tomatoes are also high in lectins, and are a nightshade that a lot of people don't do well with. I personally can't eat them either, yet they don't show up as reactive at all on my IgG or IgE testing.
there is an allergy test called LRA (lymphocyte response assay) by ELISA/ACT.
Hey, I did this same test. I am sensitive to freaking 41 of them!!!
Oh wow!
Updoot!! Interesting!!!
Your results are similar to other CZcamsrs so I’m wondering how accurate and legit this is
Yesss your a Sagittarius when I tell you I got so excited when I saw the shirt. Ahh I love my sign😁
I’ve done the EverlyWell test too! And I had 2 different blood tests through my doctor that tests for food issues. The EverlyWell test matched my blood tests almost perfectly.
I never take the tests super seriously, but once I did a 2 month elimination diet, I found that the tests were actually all correct: eggs, wheat, soy, corn, shellfish, and dairy. All were problematic!
So I believe it’s a good idea to try the tests out, and once the results come in, try an elimination diet of those foods... and ask: did my symptoms improve?
Also, ps ... I was tested for celiac like 100 times (even surgically) and the tests are always different and usually negative. I’m often told that gluten doesn’t cause issues with me, but I have such bad reactions to gluten when I eat it, so I just have to stay away. I recommend keeping a food journal for awhile if you have symptoms/reactions to food. It’s honestly the best “test” to do.
Hey I saw somebody in a different video post about how they have sensitivities to certain types of yeast (brewers yeast and another i forgot) and that was causing them issues when they were eating bread. Maybe that could be the case for you?
What are the two different blood tests you did through your doctor?
Do you have a nickel food allergy? Most of those foods have nickel in them.
@@zubaidahfarhan3465 I would like to know what the tests are too. If you ever find out.
Proteins in eggs are evenly distributed among the yolk and the white
I also did this test and was so disappointed in the results... I basically had the same results as you. With the egg white/yolks, I was SO confused?? I’m not sure I trust this and I’m mad I spent so much on it 😂
Right!? I’ve heard and seen a lot of people get egg yolks or whites on their sensitivity radar 🤔
Umm you might be allergic to eggs.. cut it out and see what happens
How many of the foods on the list that you were tested for did you actually eat within the week took the test? I was reading that you have to eat all of these foods in order to truly find out your reactivity to them.
Why do I not even know how I say yolk now??😂
Right!!!
ty
I took this test and had >20 sensitivities. It was like everything I eat: chicken, milk, wheat, eggs. RIP me
Oh no!!
Are you died yet?
@@thersten lol no, I'm fine.
I scheduled a visit with an Allergist and BOOM. No patch testing at her location so she referred me to a Dermatologist for patch testing. Odd but nonetheless the ball is a rolling!!
Sweet! Did you get an answer you were looking for??
I did this and had 32 reactions.. 😬
I think I have a grain sensitivity
Anticlimactic or anticlimaxic? Its always puzzled me.
Has anyone in the comments done this test & it was actually accurate?? I’m thinking of buying this since I don’t have health insurance!
I bought the test a year ago and got my results a year ago. I had two highly reactive items show up and then 28 mild reactive items. I am lactose intolerant but that didn't show up. Like many others I got a high reactivity to eggs, bananas, almonds... after I got these results I read that tests like this aren't super accurate so I never did and elimination diet. But I deal with chronic fatigue and I'm probably going to eliminate all these things just to see if it helps. I really have nothing to lose. I don't have health insurance either.
Did it help?@@morganlilly4527
wow i just took this test and got above normal reactivity to over 40 foods and i did not think i had any food sensitivity before lol
Leaky gut possibly
You're not actually sensitive to 40 foods, you're supposed to eliminate them from your diet one by one to see which one. These test are super inaccurate and should only be used as a very loose indication of what you could be sensitive to.
I did the same test with the same company and all I got was coconut and cows milk!
Have you research Healthy Gut Biome? When I focus on this and I take Morninga, my health improved all over my body. This could be the cause regarding your acne. I am not trying to sell you anything, I watch your video and days later it accrued to me that it might be your Gut Biome.
I’ll have to check that out, thanks!
link to the test??
I’ll add it to the video description!
Maybe asking more nicely??
@@mohnei6751 sorry, I was being nice but sometimes forget you can't hear my tone of voice. She did answer me, so hopefully she didn't take offense.
This was...interesting. Yoke.
Heyyyy are you mocking me!? 🤣
@@kayla.nelson nooooomaybe 8D jk, I was mocking your clone 8p
Maybe ur lobster sensitivity is shellfish…?
You are a Sagittarius ??? When is your birthday ?)))
Yesss!! 12/11 😎
Hey Sagittarius girl I’m December 18
My results from Everlywell was joke. The foods I have never eaten in my entire life was on the avoid list and and said avoid them for 30 days and reintroduce them back😅😅.
Soon as I saw the results, I laughed. It was just east of money
You should really go to a clinical allergist/immunologist if you want to have an accurate food sensitivity/allergy test - and I say this as someone with genuine debilitating allergies/intolerances and a compromised immune system.
Sounds good until you have hives and the allergists (several) says the results of all there tests shows inconclusive and “just take Allegra” was the doctor’s prognosis.
I did and they said they couldn't test me for sensitivities. They just told me to do the food Elimination Diet.
@@tiffanyflint yup this has happened to me. I went to 3 different allergist in nyc and till this day I have no idea why I had a really bad hive reaction 3 years ago.
Seams like to everybody they write approximately the same, including clinics.
If your body is making an antibody. It sees it as a threat.
This video is awesome but dang what a bust lol.
Right!? (And thank you!!)
Take a baby aspirin next time thee blood will spurt out better
There is no gluten intolerance at all. I am 38 years old and been to about 10 Asian countries and 100% people in those countries eat bread three meals a day and you don’t hair these gluten intolerance from anyone. It just companies in America sell their products, like gluten free, medication anything you can thing of in this gluten business.
Some people have celiac disease. It's actually most common in white people.. But! I suspect that a lot of issues that people in the U.S. are having with grains / breads / pastas may be from other additives that are commonly in these products. Not sure, but I definitely suspect it..
Celiac disease 🤦♂️
