What is a Food Inflammation Test?
You may have heard of the term “inflamm-aging.” It refers to the fact that inflammation accelerates aging and, often, food intolerances are at the heart of inflammation. FACE offers the KBMO Diagnostics Food Inflammation Testing (FIT Test) to help you be your best you and age well with evidence-based rigor on your side! The FIT measures sensitivities to 176 different foods, coloring, and additives, as well as gut barrier health using the Food Inflammation Test, also known as the FIT Test.
The FIT Test is the most sensitive food test available using patented technology. The multiple pathway approach allows KBMO Diagnostics to look at not only food sensitivities but also inflammation and gut permeability (including candida, zonulin and occuldin) all from one test. KBMO Diagnostics also provides best-in-class compliance tools, including a personalized meal plan and a client app. The mobile app showcases client lab reports and cross-reactivity and provides other guidance. Results include a color-based report that is easy to read and a 7-day rotational meal plan that is created specifically for each client by a dietitian.
The 176 test includes Zonlunin test (Leaky Gut Indicator). Zonulin is a key biomarker for intestinal permeability and is the only regulator of intestinal permeability that is reversible. Zonulin is one of three ways the FIT test can diagnose a leaky gut, along with finding a sensitivity to Candida and multiple Food Sensitivities.
Food sensitivities are common, abundant, and varied, affecting more than 100 million people worldwide. Without FIT Testing, food sensitivities are very difficult to identify because the symptoms can be delayed up to 72 hours after eating. Regular health plans rarely cover this type of testing, even though it has been clinically proven that food sensitivities symptoms include the following:
Anxiety/Depression
Inability to Lose Weight
Fatigue/Insomnia
Constipation/Diarrhea
Bloating/Stomach Pain
Impotence/Libido
Joint Pain
Sugar Cravings

Food Inflammation Test FAQ
What are the different tests, and for what do they test?
FACE offers two tests: (1) the 176 FIT Test, which includes Zonulin testing, and (2) the Zonulin test by itself. The standard full panel is the 176 FIT Test, which will suffice for most inquiries. The Zonulin is for patients who either want the most comprehensive information possible/or those with more complex digestive issues. The tests are done at the same time.
The FIT 176 Test is a patented, multi-pathway delayed food sensitivity test. The test uses patented technology that measures both IgG and Immune Complexes, the most common food-related pathways in the body. This enables the FIT test to identify food sensitivities, inflammation, and leaky gut from a single test.
Zonulin (Leaky Gut Indicator) measures the permeability of the intestinal wall. Elevated Zonulin levels indicate the presence of leaky gut, which prevents the intestines from functioning properly. If left untreated, elevated Zonulin can lead to various diseases, including Autoimmune Disease, Celiac Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and IBS. Zonulin is a protein that can open the tight junctions in the stomach lining and allow the gut to leak. Gliadin & Intestinal bacteria are the main triggers for zonulin release.
Which foods are tested?
The FIT test measures 176 foods, colorings, and additives, listed below. Downloadable PDF here.
hat should I eat prior to taking the FIT?
Clients should eat a normal diet prior to taking a sample to be tested on the FIT Test. Do not exclude any foods that may cause a symptom until you receive the results. In cases where a client has removed a food from the diet for days or weeks, the particular food should be consumed several times per week for at least two weeks so that the IgG titer has a chance to be re-established. Please remember that neither FACE nor KBMO recommends that a client consume or reintroduce a particular food, so any consumption or reintroduction of a food should be done only after it is recommended by your health care provider.
In general, the IgG antibody half-life is about 3-4 weeks. Therefore, if a food is not consumed, IgG will be cleared from the circulation, and the sample may test negative for IgG on the FIT Test.
How long does it take to get results?
It takes approximately 2 - 3 weeks to get results. You may elect to receive your results on the KBMO app.
Where can I find the app, and what is included?
KBMO Diagnostics offers a mobile app called KBMO FIT to clients, available on iOS and Android devices for all patients who have had the FIT 176 test. The app invitation is emailed to you a few weeks after the test results are received by the KBMO lab. The mobile app allows you to access your results on the go, including meal plans and cross-reactivity..
What kind of lab is it?
KBMO Diagnostics has an FDA-registered and ISO 13485-compliant manufacturing facility as well as a CLIA High Complexity Laboratory based near Boston, Massachusetts.
Who is behind the lab and FIT Test?
The test was created by Brent Dorval, Ph.D., who was involved in the creation of the first HIV/AIDS rapid diagnostic assay.
How to use the Fit test with an ELIMINATION diet?
This is a great tool to assist with a client’s elimination diet. With results in hand, you can begin the process of eliminating foods that are clearly inflammatory to identify how they are affecting your health experience and desired outcomes.
