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:

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.

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:

I recently purchased the food intolerance test from UKlabs, and overall, I was quite satisfied with the service. The ordering process was simple and straightforward, and I received my test kit in a timely manner. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I appreciated the fact that I could do the test from the comfort of my own home.
When I received my results, I found them to be quite informative. The report was easy to understand and provided a lot of detail about which foods I was sensitive to. While there were no major surprises in the results, the test did confirm some suspicions I had about certain foods.
Overall, I would recommend this service to anyone in the UK who is interested in learning more about their food sensitivities. While it’s not a cheap service, it’s definitely worth it for the peace of mind it can provide.

After struggling with skin rashes and hives for years, I finally decided to try a food intolerance test. The results showed that I was intolerant to several foods, including dairy and nuts. I eliminated these foods from my diet and noticed a dramatic improvement in my skin within a few weeks. I am so grateful for this test and would encourage anyone dealing with similar issues to give it a try.
