Food Allergy and Intolerance Testing in the Denver Metro
Elimination diets take months and still miss the real triggers. Our IgE and IgG panels give you a clear map of which foods your immune system is reacting to, what to remove, and when to bring it back.
Allergy, intolerance, sensitivity: what you are actually testing
An IgE reaction is fast and obvious: hives, swelling, throat tightness. An IgG reaction is slow and easy to miss, showing up six hours to three days later as bloating, a headache, a skin flare, achy joints or a foggy afternoon. Because the timing is delayed, almost nobody connects it to the meal. That delay is the single biggest reason people spend years guessing. Testing both patterns at once removes the guesswork.
What our panels cover
- · IgE true allergy testing
- · IgG delayed reaction testing across 100+ foods
- · Cooked and raw forms of the same food
- · Environmental allergens when symptoms point there
- · Gut and inflammation markers alongside the food results
These are panels, not single values. Most of the labs we run report more than twenty markers each, and several run well over a hundred, so we read patterns across the whole picture rather than one number in isolation.
Symptoms that often trace back to food
- · Bloating, gas and IBS patterns
- · Eczema, hives, acne and rosacea
- · Migraines and recurring headaches
- · Joint pain and stiffness
- · Fatigue, brain fog and mood swings
- · Kids with recurring reactions or reflux
How the process works
- 1. Consultation to map your history, symptoms and timeline.
- 2. Blood draw in our Greenwood Village office, or a kit shipped to your door.
- 3. Full results review with your provider, not a PDF in your inbox.
- 4. A written removal and reintroduction schedule with gut repair support.
- 5. Retesting when it is time, so foods come back on the plate.
Why we test the gut at the same time
A long list of reactive foods is usually a symptom, not the origin. When the intestinal lining is compromised, partially digested proteins reach the bloodstream and the immune system starts tagging normal foods as threats. Repair the lining and the list shrinks. That is why we pair food panels with comprehensive gut testing and review the full lab testing menu with you.

Common questions
Where can I get food allergy testing near me in the Denver area?
Our clinic is at 9250 E. Costilla Ave. Suite 300 in Greenwood Village, minutes from Centennial, Littleton, Lone Tree, Parker, Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock. We draw blood in office, and patients outside Colorado can have a kit shipped to their home.
What is the difference between a food allergy test and a food intolerance test?
IgE testing looks for immediate allergic reactions such as hives or swelling. IgG and IgA testing looks for delayed immune reactions that can show up hours or days later as bloating, headaches, joint pain, skin flares or fatigue. Most people searching for a food intolerance test are describing the delayed pattern, and that is why we run broad panels rather than a short screen.
How many foods do you test?
Our comprehensive panels cover 100 or more commonly eaten foods, plus cooked and raw variations of the same food, which matters because many people react to one form and not the other. Environmental allergens can be added when symptoms point that direction.
Are at home food sensitivity tests accurate?
Quality varies widely. We use accredited laboratory panels and, more importantly, we interpret them next to your gut testing and inflammation markers. A result list without context leads people to remove foods they never needed to remove.
What happens after my results come back?
You sit down with your provider for a full results review. We build a structured removal and reintroduction schedule, support the gut lining while it repairs, and retest when it makes sense. The goal is to widen your diet again, not to shrink it permanently.
How much does food allergy testing cost?
Cost depends on which panels your case calls for. We review pricing with you before anything is ordered, so there are no surprises. Call 303-668-2103 and we will walk you through it.
