FOX is an in vitro diagnostic test for detecting specific immunoglobulin G to 286 food products. FOX identifies type III allergic reactions, or IgG-dependent reactions to food.

Type III food allergy is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction representing a systemic response involving multiple organ systems. Gastrointestinal dysfunction plays a key role in the pathogenesis of various systemic manifestations.

Due to increased intestinal wall permeability, food proteins can cross the intestinal barrier, engage the immune system, and trigger inflammatory reactions. Associated symptoms appear with delay and range from gastrointestinal symptoms and joint pain to migraines.

Delayed-type allergic reactions to foods are mediated by IgG antibodies. By detecting food-specific IgG antibodies in blood serum, the allergens triggering the reaction can be easily identified, and symptoms alleviated by avoiding the corresponding foods.

  • Inflammatory bowel diseases.
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • IgG-dependent food intolerance, diet adjustment.

Nano-technology, MADx diagnostic method – FOX (Food Xplorer), multiplex software – semi-quantitative determination.

Please note that the research method and reference values may vary depending on the equipment and test systems used.

  • Have blood drawn in the morning on an empty stomach or 4-5 hours after eating.
  • Shortly before blood collection, drink 1-2 glasses of plain still water.
  • Avoid fatty foods for 24 hours prior.
  • Avoid physical exertion and emotional stress on the day of the test; do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.
  • Children under 1 year old should not eat for 30-40 minutes before the test; children aged 1 to 5 years should fast for 2-3 hours.
  • Children must be given still water in portions of 150-200 ml over 30 minutes.
  • Blood collection is recommended before taking medications. If this is not possible, indicate any medication intake.
