Food Items Tested
Our food intolerance test measures 400+ items and is a comprehensive test that checks for reactions to a wide variety of foods and food components. This type of test may be helpful for people who have multiple food sensitivities or who are experiencing chronic or severe symptoms. Below we list categories we test.
Gluten items tested
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It is commonly found in foods that are made with these grains or have them as an ingredient. Gluten can cause health problems for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Here are 20 common food items that may contain gluten:
- Bread
- Pasta
- Cereal
- Crackers
- Cookies
- Cake
- Muffins
- Biscuits
- Pizza
- Beer
- Pretzels
- Soy sauce
- Gravy
- Fried foods with batter
- Dumplings
- Couscous
- Bulgur
- Seitan
- Farro
- Barley soup
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, and there may be other foods that contain gluten as well. It is always best to check the ingredient list and allergen information on food labels or to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian if you have questions or concerns about your diet.
Lactose items tested
Lactose is a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. It is broken down by the enzyme lactase in the small intestine. People with lactose intolerance have low levels of lactase, which can cause digestive problems when they consume lactose-containing foods.
Here are 20 common food items that may contain lactose:
- Milk
- Cheese
- Yogurt
- Butter
- Cream
- Ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Custard
- Pudding

- Milk chocolate
- Hot chocolate mixes
- Instant soups and sauces
- Margarine
- Bread and baked goods made with milk
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, and there may be other foods that contain lactose as well. It is always best to check the ingredient list and allergen information on food labels or to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian if you have questions or concerns about your diet.
Non Food Items Tested
Intolerance to non-foods can cause a range of uncomfortable and sometimes serious symptoms. These can be triggered by a variety of substances that are not typically classified as foods, including medications, chemicals, and environmental allergens.
Symptoms can vary widely and may include skin rashes, respiratory issues, digestive problems, and more. It is important to identify and avoid triggers for non-food intolerance’s to minimise the risk of serious health complications. In this section, we will explore some of the most common intolerance’s to non-foods and provide strategies for managing them.
Vitamin & Mineral Imbalance Test
Vitamin and mineral imbalances can occur when an individuals body does not have the necessary amounts of specific nutrients required for optimal functioning. These imbalances can result in a range of symptoms and health issues, from fatigue and weakness to brittle bones and anemia. Testing for vitamin and mineral imbalances can help individuals identify and address any deficiencies or excesses they may have.
Common vitamin imbalances include:
- Vitamin D deficiency
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Vitamin C deficiency
- Vitamin A deficiency
- Vitamin E deficiency
Common mineral imbalances include:
- Iron deficiency
- Magnesium deficiency
- Calcium deficiency
- Potassium deficiency
- Zinc deficiency
It is important to note that while some vitamin and mineral imbalances can be corrected through dietary changes or supplements, others may require medical intervention.

I recently purchased the food intolerance test from UKlabs and was very impressed with the level of service I received. The process was simple and easy, and the results were very helpful in identifying the foods that were causing me issues. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone in the UK.

I decided to try the food intolerance test from UKlabs after struggling with digestive issues for several months. While the process of ordering and taking the test was relatively easy, I found the results to be somewhat underwhelming.
The report I received was quite basic and didn’t provide a lot of detail about my food sensitivities. While it did confirm some suspicions I had about certain foods, it didn’t provide me with any new information that I didn’t already know.
While I can’t fault the service itself, I was disappointed with the results. I would recommend this service to anyone in the UK who is new to food intolerance testing and looking for a basic overview of their sensitivities, but for those who have already done similar tests, it may not be worth the investment.

The food intolerance test was an eye-opener for me. I had been dealing with constant fatigue and mood swings, and the test revealed that I was intolerant to gluten and dairy. After eliminating these foods from my diet, my energy levels and mood significantly improved, and I have never felt better.
