What is amaranth intolerance and how does it differ from amaranth allergies?

Amaranth intolerance and amaranth allergies are distinct conditions. Intolerance refers to digestive discomfort or adverse reactions to amaranth that are not immune-mediated. In contrast, allergies involve the immune system’s abnormal response to allergenic proteins in amaranth, resulting in allergic symptoms.

What are the common symptoms of amaranth intolerance?
  • Gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea.
  • Nausea and stomach cramps.
  • Digestive issues that occur after consuming amaranth-based products.
When should I consider getting an amaranth intolerance test?

Consider getting an amaranth intolerance test if you frequently experience the symptoms mentioned above after consuming amaranth or amaranth-containing foods. Testing can help confirm whether your discomfort is related to amaranth intolerance and provide guidance on dietary choices.

How can I manage and cope with amaranth intolerance in my daily life?
  • Limit or avoid the consumption of amaranth and products containing amaranth.
  • Explore alternative grains and pseudocereals that may be better tolerated, such as quinoa or rice.
  • Check food labels for the presence of amaranth ingredients.
  • Consult with a healthcare professional or dietitian for personalized advice on managing amaranth intolerance and maintaining a balanced diet.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
