5Strands Food Intolerance & Environmental Sensitivity Test for Adults & Children, 950 Items Tested, Kids Intolerance Testing Kit, at Home Gut Health Assessment, Fast 4 Day Results

I need to know which food is better for me to keep me healthier rather than being sick because of my sensitivities. This would show me exactly that and now i would eat better because of it.

I bought this because I wanted an easy way to check for sensitivities without dealing with needles. Collecting the hair strands was super quick and easy to do at home. The instructions are straightforward and it comes with everything you need.

Quick, easy and extremely thorough. Changing diet based on my food sensitivity has gotten rid of belly bloat. Worth everything to feel better!

Do NOT BUY THIS TEST. This is a HIGHLY inaccurate test and I have proof. I was all excited to see the results and after seeing my first test, I was shocked at the things it said were "insignificant" that gave me issues in the past and also shocked at the items they said were Level 3 intolerance (the highest intolerance on the test) as those items didn't really bother me. So I became skeptical and ordered another test a week later. I kept my diet and exercise the same and took hair samples from the same place. Only a week later my test results were completely different. About 940 things are checked and out of that total of 940, 286 of my items came back at least 2 levels if not 3 levels different (which is going from insignificant to highly intolerable or vice versa). This is impossible in one week to have 30.4% to not only be different but total opposites. In terms of total accuracy, only 42% of the test came back matching just a week later (so 58% inaccurate). There's no medical reason the test would differ that much besides it being highly inaccurate. I'm working on getting my money back as these 2 tests tell me nothing since they're such opposites.

I purchased the kit testing for 950 items this time (up from the previous level) but found the extra investment provided little benefit. In fact, there were some food items missing and other unnecessary items added. Overall, testing regularly has been helpful along with adopting a rotation diet aimed at avoiding or limiting foods that trigger reactions. However, a more expensive Cadillac kit is not necessarily better - and more of a waste of money.

A few foods that stood out were things I normally wouldn't have questioned, which made the results interesting to go through. I like that everything was laid out clearly and easy to read.

This is a very comprehensive test. I was impressed at the amount of items tested and how clear the report was with the results. I've recommended this test to others. For a sensitivity test for this amount of things, the price was well worth it and way cheaper then a Dr visit.

I found after I took this simple test that there were things I was eating daily that I had no idea were bad for me. Bovine collagen and egg yolks, for instance. Since I stopped doing that, some of my symptoms disappeared. The test was super simple to do and very easy to read. I highly recommend it.

The process was relatively easy but the results were not super helpful for me. I got back a big list of mostly preservatives and obscure environmental things that I can either not control being around/ingesting very much or just will never ever come in contact with. Also extremely random food results - 3/3 danger, stay away from tomatillos but 0/3 danger, tomatoes are fine. Lots of that sort of thing. I did some elimination of the highest alert items and haven't noticed any improvement/changes in how I feel. For the price of this, I dont think I'd recommend it.
