The Ultimate Guide to Food Sensitivity Testing in Bangkok: Why 222 Types Matter

Table of Content

Unlike a food allergy (IgE) which causes immediate and severe reactions, a food Sensitivity (IgG) is a delayed sensitivity. Symptoms can appear hours or even days after eating, making it nearly impossible to identify the trigger without professional clinical testing. Common signs include:

• Digestive issues (Bloating, gas, diarrhea)
• Chronic fatigue and brain fog
• Skin problems (Acne, eczema, or rashes)
• Joint pain and headaches

While many labs offer basic tests for 20 or 40 items, the modern diet—especially the diverse and spice-rich cuisine of Thailand—is complex. Our 222-panel Food Sensitivity Test at Medpro Laboratory Clinic provides:

1. Comprehensive Thai & International Coverage: We test for 222 items, including local Thai ingredients (like lemongrass, ginger, and various chilies), tropical fruits, seafood, dairy, and gluten-free grains.
2. Precision Nutrition: Instead of guessing, you get a clear “map” of your body’s triggers. This allows for a “Laser-Focused” elimination diet that is far more effective than general dietary changes.
3. Advanced Technology: We use international-standard laboratory equipment to ensure medical-grade accuracy for every patient.

Located in the most accessible part of Bangkok, Medpro Laboratory Clinic is the preferred choice for expats and tourists who value speed and accuracy.

What is the difference between a Food Allergy and a Food Sensitivity test?

A food allergy test (IgE) detects immediate, potentially life-threatening reactions. In contrast, our Food Intolerance Test (IgG) identifies delayed sensitivities that cause chronic symptoms like bloating, acne, and fatigue which can appear up to 72 hours after eating. Identifying these “hidden” triggers is key to long-term gut health.

How many food items are tested in the comprehensive panel at Medpro?

We offer our most extensive screening with the 222-type IgG Food Sensitivity Panel. This premium test covers a vast range of international and local Thai ingredients, including specific spices, tropical fruits, seafood, and dairy, ensuring no potential trigger is missed.

Do I need to fast before my food Sensitivity blood test?

No, fasting is not required for a Food Sensitivity (IgG) test at Medpro Laboratory Clinic. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment. However, we recommend staying well-hydrated to make the blood collection process as smooth and comfortable as possible.

How long does it take to get the results, and how will I receive them?

Your detailed lab report will be ready within 5-7 working days. For your convenience, we can send the results directly to your email or WhatsApp, or you can pick them up in person at our clinic near BTS Asok.

Is Medpro Laboratory Clinic easily accessible for tourists and expats?

es, we are perfectly located for international patients in the heart of Bangkok. You can find us on the 2nd Floor of the Time Square Building, which is directly connected to BTS Asok (Exit 2) and just a short walk from MRT Sukhumvit. Walk-ins are always welcome!
