Intolerance test (pets)

In the case of an intolerance, the body is unable to absorb or process certain substances. This leads to a disruption in the metabolic process. Intolerances are particularly common in the context of food intolerance. In this case, the necessary enzymes to digest the substance are usually missing in the intestine.

Allergies and intolerances are two different forms of hypersensitivity reactions of the body to certain substances. Our intolerance test does not test for allergies. An allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to a specific antigen. This results in the production of specific antibodies (IgE) against the antigen. This leads to an inflammatory reaction in the body. Typical symptoms of an allergy include itching, skin rashes, shortness of breath, dizziness or even anaphylactic shock. An intolerance is a non-immunological reaction to a substance that can be triggered by various mechanisms. One possible cause can be an enzyme deficiency. This means that the body cannot digest certain substances properly. This creates metabolic products that can lead to symptoms in the body. Typical symptoms of an intolerance include stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea or flatulence. In short, the difference between an allergy and an intolerance lies in the way in which the hypersensitivity is triggered. An allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to an antigen, while an intolerance is a non-immunological reaction to a substance.

With our intolerance test you can find out whether an animal is suffering from a possible intolerance. Symptoms of an allergy and intolerance are often similar. This is why intolerances are often confused with allergies. Please note that this test does not test your animal for allergies. The test is therefore not intended to diagnose diseases and is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis or medical treatment by a doctor. If your animal is suffering from severe pain or discomfort, please seek medical attention immediately.

We currently offer tests for micronutrients and intolerances. Both tests are also available for pets.

Our tests are based on complementary medicine. They determine your nutritional needs and test you for possible intolerances. Blood tests, on the other hand, examine the presence of certain parameters in the blood (vitamins, minerals, proteins or antibodies) and thus describe the current supply status or the occurrence of an allergic reaction. In contrast to a blood test, our procedure does not allow individual values to be examined in isolation.

In contrast to a blood analysis, our procedure does not allow us to examine individual values in isolation.   What does complementary medicine mean?   The term complementary medicine covers a range of medical therapies and diagnostic methods that are not part of conventional medicine. They are often used as a supplement to conventional medicine without replacing it.   Complementary and alternative medicine is not always recognized by the scientific community. One of the most common reasons why people use complementary medicine is the desire for holistic diagnostics. Many now feel the need to combine different medical methods and approaches in order to improve their health and well-being holistically.   Complementary medicine includes, for example, natural healing methods such as herbal medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture, as well as various forms of manual therapy such as chiropractic and osteopathy. Alternative diagnostic methods such as iris diagnosis or kinesiology can also be counted as complementary medicine. Although there are many people who benefit from these approaches and see them as a useful addition to conventional medicine, their effectiveness is still often questioned by conventional medicine.

Your result is presented in a detailed and self-explanatory manner and is designed so that all parameters are given as a percentage value. This means that the higher the value, the higher your need for this micronutrient. In the intolerance test, the compatibility of the respective substance is indicated by colors. Green means good compatibility, yellow means medium reactivity and red means high reactivity to the substance.
