Support your gut by finding out which foods may be causing problems.

This hair test looks at how your body is reacting to over 620+ different foods and drinks that may be stressing your digestive system. It checks for signs of intolerance that could be linked to poor digestion, bloating, gas, or other stomach issues.

When your gut is out of balance, even healthy foods can become hard to handle. This test helps you see which foods may be overloading your gut so you can give your body a break and focus on healing.

It doesn’t test for allergies or tell you how much of a food is in your body. Instead, it shows how your gut is currently handling certain ingredients based on your hair’s energy.

These results can guide you toward better food choices to support digestion, reduce stress in the gut, and improve how you feel overall.

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.

Dairy, Fats, Fruits, Grains, Legumes, Mushrooms, Protein, Seafood, Superfood, Sweetener, Vegetables

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

It compares each food’s unique frequency pattern to the energy signature captured from your hair sample. This shows how your body is currently interacting with specific foods on an internal, energetic level. It does not measure nutrient levels or diagnose allergies.

Your sample is exposed to each food frequency in a controlled setting. A flag indicates how your body may respond with regular exposure, or that a similar ingredient already in your diet could be adding stress. You do not need past consumption for a result to appear.

Allergies cause immediate immune reactions. Intolerances reflect internal digestive stress, such as microbiome imbalance, poor absorption, or difficulty breaking down certain ingredients. This test focuses on those slower, gut-driven responses.

Yes. Eggs, oats, or spinach can challenge digestion during periods of stress or imbalance. A flag does not mean the food is bad. It means your system may struggle to process it right now. Have you ever felt bloated or sluggish after a “clean” meal?

The report reflects your current state and can change as your diet, lifestyle, and gut health evolve. If an item is flagged, reducing or removing it may ease symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or skin irritation. If no intolerance is detected, your body appears to be tolerating that food well. These results are meant to guide small, informed adjustments so you can support digestion and balance more effectively.

I recommend 5Strands because it is the only food intolerance and environmental sensitivity test validated through an independent third-party study, which reported an 82.35% success rate. It uses a non-invasive hair analysis and a double-pass testing process to support accuracy, which helps people identify potential dietary and environmental triggers that may be contributing to their digestive and skin symptoms.

I would not hesitate to recommend 5Strands to my patients. A 90-day consumer study by Citruslabs showed clear evidence that the 5Strands tests improve overall health in over 82% of participants by Day 90. Specific symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, and skin irritations improved in 54% by Day 30, almost 63% by Day 60, and almost 80% by Day 90.

After reviewing the 90-day study and receiving my own 5Strands test results, I was impressed by the comprehensive report, rapid turnaround time, and the convenience of obtaining personalized information from a simple hair sample without the need for blood collection. The report provides a detailed framework that can help guide a structured elimination approach for individuals seeking to identify potential food and environmental triggers. I am excited to use this new test in my office setting with patients as well.

The 5Strands food and environmental sensitivity tests provide a non-invasive, at-home method to identify potential sources of dysfunction that may manifest as symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, skin irritation, or congestion.

What stood out to me looking at the data on the 5Strands test is that after 90 days, 82% of participants said their overall health had improved and the average symptom severity dropped by more than a third. These are meaningful shifts for people trying to pin down their food and environment triggers. I'd be happy to recommend this as a starting point for anyone who wants a structured way to identify their food intolerances and environmental sensitivities.
