5Strands Food & Beverage Sensitivity Test, Hair Analysis Intolerance Test for Adults & Kids, 400+ Items Tested, at Home Food Intolerance Testing, Gut Health Check, Accurate Results in 5 Days

I’m so happy I found this test! I’ve been struggling with stomach issues for a while and had no idea what was causing them. The results came fast and were super easy to understand. I was honestly shocked to find out I’m sensitive to garlic — it’s something I use all the time in my cooking! But now that I know, I’ve made changes and I feel so much better. This test gave me the answers I needed, and I definitely recommend it to anyone dealing with mystery food sensitivities!

I tried out the 5 Strands kit to measure my food & beverage sensitivities I have to 400 different food items! It was awesome because now I can see what items my body is being affected by and I can try eliminating all of them for 6-8 weeks and then slowly reintroducing them to see how I react. The interesting thing for me is that a lot of items that supposedly affect my body are items that I don't really like anyway. The only two items that I have to eliminate that I do love regularly are white wine and brie cheese. I look forward to seeing if when I reintroduce these items I am able to tolerate them. Each kit includes easy-to-follow instructions, a sample collection bag, and a prepaid return envelope. You’ll just need a few strands of hair to complete the test. Your results show which items triggered the strongest response based on frequency imbalance. They’re color-coded into three levels of severity to guide your elimination and reintroduction process. This is a pretty awesome tool! I recommend you check it out! My husband wants to do it next! Thank you 5 strands for sending me this awesome kit! There are a variety of other kinds of kits that you can pick that test for your animals, health and wellness, environmental sensitivity, etc.

This is the most rediculss test I have ever took it says I’m allergic to every thing I have ate my whole life still eat that causes no problems with all the things it claims I am allergic to I have nothing else to choose from to eat. The one thing I know that I could possibly be allergic to makes my mouth itch and have had a severe anaphylactic reaction to according to this test I’m not allergic to.

I’m so glad I tried this test! I’ve struggled with bloating, fatigue, and skin flare-ups for months with no clear cause. The 5Strands test was super easy to do—just sent in a hair sample—and I got my results in about 5 days. It flagged several foods I never would’ve suspected were bothering me. After adjusting my diet based on the results, I feel so much better. Highly recommend if you’ve been feeling “off” and want real answers without the guesswork.

As someone who suffers with stomachs sensitivities this allowed me to build a diet to have more comfortable gut health. It was quick and gave insight into every area they tested. Giving links to articles to help get through it too.

I was super excited to try this out because I've always had stomach issues and sensitivities. It is super easy to register your kit and to send them back some hair samples.I was initially planning on buying one for my whole family....until I saw my results. I am extremely intolerant to all dairy. Even small amounts of butter in baked items causes me pain for days, but my results came back with several dairy items in the no intolerance zone! My moderate and severe intolerances list was huge and included every single source of significant protein except lentils (and dairy which I know I can't eat). Ultimately I don't trust the results of this test. It may have been more believable if all dairy was on my significant intolerance list. Because if severe abdominal cramping and GI distress for days isn't a severe intolerance, then I don't know what is.

Super Easy! I'm already an Amazon member so it was easy to order here. This product can also be ordered on their site, but the entire process was seamless here too. Easy to complete the test and mail back. Results in timeframe promised. Lots of good information on the 5Strands site. I ordered it because I was having many digestive issues after most meals.Super Informative! Personally, I was kind of frozen for 24 hours after I read the results. It was recommended to avoid ALL intolerant foods, ingredients and beverages for six to eight weeks. I was frozen, because the list was about 80% of my current diet! The hardest was giving up coffee, my morning fruit mix and a weekly steak night.. All things on my 'intolerant' list. But! It is Why I did the test in the first place. So after 24 hours I came up with a new menu strategy for each day/ week and it is now three weeks in, and I am feeling So Much Better and my stomach has calmed down tremendously.One of the things I have learned is that variety in your diet is key! What I was eating the most is what my digestive system is currently most intolerant to.The results and report were easy to read. I made a NO list in red and a separate YES list in green and posted them on my refrigerator for reference. My days are best when I focus on the YES list, make a meal plan and a grocery list, and only consult the NO list if I can't remember a specific ingredient. The test is very detailed and most helpful for any recipe or ingredient listed on a product.I highly recommend this test if you have digestive issues that you think are food or beverage related.This isn't an avoidance to see a doctor, nor does it replace a doctor evaluation, but it is very informative and helpful.I am also working with my doctor.
