Parasites are more common than most people realize.

You can introduce our body to organisms like protozoa, worms, mites, or other micro-invaders through food, water, pets, or travel. Most of the time, your body clears them out naturally. But when exposure builds or your system is under stress, you may feel the effects: bloating, fatigue, skin issues, or general imbalance.

The 5Strands Parasite Sensitivity & Intolerance Test helps identify which of the 167 common parasites tested triggers the strongest stress response. Using a non-invasive hair sample you’ve already provided, this scan offers insight into how well your body is handling these hidden stressors.

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

Your body’s response is measured against 167 parasites across categories including arthropods, cestodes, flyborne parasites, microsporidia, nematodes, protozoa, and trematodes. Identifying these sensitivities helps you take steps to reduce exposures and support your immune system.

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 see how their body is responding to foods and environmental factors. This structure helps you know which items to completely avoid, which to limit, and which are generally safe in moderation or without concern as you work toward better balance.

Step-by-Step Elimination Plan:

Step 1: Red (High Response)
Intolerances: Completely remove flagged foods for 6–8 weeks to give the digestive system time to reset.
Sensitivities: Eliminate exposures where possible, which may include reducing contact with certain products, substances, or materials flagged in the results.

Step 2: Yellow (Moderate Response)
Intolerances: Avoid these foods whenever possible. If reintroduced, do so only after symptoms improve and monitor closely.
Sensitivities: Reduce exposure as much as possible. If full avoidance isn’t realistic, limit contact and monitor for stress signs such as itching, digestive upset, low energy, or changes in behavior.

Step 3: Green (Mild Response)
Intolerances: Feed sparingly. These may be tolerated in small amounts but repeated exposure could still stress the gut.
Sensitivities: Allow limited contact, but avoid repeated or long-term exposure. Watch for patterns in energy, skin, or digestion that may indicate stress.

Step 4: Grey (No Significant Response)
Intolerances: These ingredients are safe to continue feeding. Keep meals varied to prevent new intolerances from developing.
Sensitivities: These items are considered safe for you. Normal exposure or use can continue without concern.

Step 5: Monitor & Retest
Intolerances: After the elimination period, reintroduce foods one at a time, leaving 3–5 days between each and watching for symptoms.
Sensitivities: Gradually reintroduce exposures in a controlled way. Retest every 4 months to track changes, as your body may shift with seasons, stress, medications, and other lifestyle changes.

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.

Katie Ernst

RD, CD | Mead, WA

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.
