Find out which foods may be causing hidden stress in your body.

This at-home hair test checks how your body is currently responding to over 152 common foods. That includes everyday items like dairy, gluten, fruits, veggies, spices, and more.

This isn’t an allergy test. Instead, it helps detect food intolerances that occur when the digestive system is having a hard time breaking something down. These issues can show up as bloating, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, or mood changes.

Your results can help you figure out which foods to remove or rotate from your diet to feel better, faster. And the best part? No blood or needles, just a small hair sample.

IMPORTANT: Our lab must have received your hair sample within the past 60 days, otherwise a physical test kit must be purchased with the digital test/upgrade.

Your body’s response is measured against 152 food items across categories such as anti-caking agents, coatings, flavor enhancers, herbs, modified starches, nuts, processing aids, seasonings, spices, stabilizers, and thickening agents. Pinpointing these intolerances helps you make smarter food choices and cut back on the ingredients that cause discomfort.

No new hair sample is needed if your hair sample was received by our lab within the past 60 days. Simply purchase the test, and updated results will be uploaded to your 5Strands account within 3 days.

Your results are divided into 4 levels so you can clearly see how your body is responding to different ingredients. This structure helps you know which foods to avoid, what to limit, and what is generally safe in moderation.

Step-by-Step Elimination Plan:

Step 1: Remove all Red (High Intolerance) ingredients from your diet for 6–8 weeks. This gives their digestive system time to reset and recover.

Step 2: Limit Yellow (Moderate Intolerance) ingredients during this elimination phase. Reintroduce them only if symptoms improve, and closely monitor how you respond.

Step 3: Feed Green (Mild Intolerance) ingredients sparingly. They may be tolerated in small amounts, but repeated exposure could still place stress on your gut.

Step 4: Continue with Grey (No Significant Response) ingredients, but maintain variety in their meals. Rotating foods helps reduce the chance of new intolerances developing.

Step 5: After the elimination period, reintroduce foods one at a time, leaving 3–5 days between each new ingredient while watching for symptoms. Retesting every 4 months helps ensure your diet continues to match their changing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many people deal with fatigue, brain fog, or skin flare-ups without realizing food could be a factor. The test is designed to show whether everyday meals are adding hidden stress to your digestive system.

You collect a small hair sample at home and send it in. The report is sent digitally, ranking foods by how strongly your body responded during testing, so you can see at a glance which items may be contributing to discomfort.

Not directly. It does not create a diet plan, but it gives you clarity on which foods may be stressing your system. Many people use the results to guide an elimination diet, then slowly reintroduce foods to see how their body responds.

Yes, and that’s often what surprises people most. Even staples like coffee, rice, or tomatoes can cause stress if your body struggles to process them. Regular exposure can lead to gradual buildup of symptoms that are easy to miss.

Your results may shift. Intolerances reflect your current state, which changes as your gut health, stress levels, and lifestyle evolve. Retesting allows you to track progress and see whether past problem foods can be reintroduced.
