There’s a particular kind of frustration that builds when you know something in your diet is wrong, you just can’t work out what. You try cutting out dairy for two weeks. Symptoms improve a bit. You reintroduce it. Hard to tell. You try gluten next. Another few weeks. Still not sure.
The problem with elimination by instinct is it takes months, gives inconclusive results, and still leaves you guessing. Reliable food sensitivity testing through ImuPro replaces that process with clinical data about how your immune system actually responds to specific foods.
The Delay Is Why You Can’t Figure It Out Yourself
IgG-mediated food sensitivities cause delayed reactions. Not the immediate throat-tightening response of a classic allergy. These reactions develop over hours, sometimes up to three days after eating the trigger food.
By the time symptoms appear, you’ve eaten dozens of things since the offending food. There’s no way to connect cause and effect without testing. This is why so many people with genuine food sensitivities spend years living with symptoms they can’t explain.
What Makes ImuPro’s Testing Reliable
Three things set reliable testing apart from the noise in the food sensitivity testing space.
First, sample type. ImuPro uses blood serum, not whole blood, not hair, not breath testing. Serum contains the purified component of blood that’s ideal for measuring IgG antibodies accurately, without interference from cellular components that can skew results in whole blood testing.
Second, testing method. The ELISA method (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a clinically established approach for detecting specific antibodies. It’s reproducible, stable, and scientifically documented. ImuPro’s laboratory in Germany operates under certified quality standards.
Third, subclass specificity. ImuPro tests IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 subclasses, the pro-inflammatory antibodies. Not IgG4, which behaves differently and is the source of most legitimate criticism of IgG testing in medical literature.
The Scope of What Gets Tested
The Complete 270 test screens 270 individual foods and additives. This includes the obvious suspects like wheat, dairy, eggs, and soy, but also herbs, spices, sweeteners, preservatives, thickening agents, coffee, tea, wine, yeast, and Candida albicans.
This level of coverage matters because trigger foods are often not the obvious ones. Someone might have no reaction to wheat but significant IgG elevation to a spice they use every single day.
Getting to Results
The process is straightforward. Order online, receive a test kit with a pathology request form, get a blood draw at any pathology centre, return the serum sample. No GP referral required. Results come back as a categorised report covering every tested food.
Alongside the results, you receive personalised nutritional guidelines. For the Complete and Vegetarian tests, there’s also a recipe booklet built around your specific non-reactive foods, making the dietary adjustment actually manageable.
Three Phases to Recovery
ImuPro doesn’t just hand you a list of foods to avoid. Results come with a structured protocol covering elimination, provocation, and stabilisation phases. The provocation phase is particularly important because it identifies which elevated foods are genuine triggers rather than incidental findings.
Since 2005
ImuPro has been providing food sensitivity testing to Australians and New Zealanders since 2005. The International ImuPro Scientific Advisory Board, established in 2013, includes medical doctors and scientists from seven countries contributing to ongoing methodology improvements.
If chronic symptoms have been part of your daily life longer than they should have, 1300 481 151 is the starting point.
The International ImuPro Scientific Advisory Board, established in 2013, includes medical doctors and scientists from seven countries. Testing is available for children over 12 months and a vegetarian panel covers 221 foods without meat or fish. A histamine intolerance test can be added to any order on the same blood sample for a combined result.
