Beverly Hills Food Sensitivity & Intolerance Testing: Diagnostic Services Expand
Oct 16, 2026
Los Angeles Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition, a Century City-based gastroenterology and functional medicine practice, has expanded its diagnostic services to include food sensitivity and intolerance testing for patients.
Los Angeles, United States, October 16, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Los Angeles Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition has announced the expansion of its diagnostic services to include food sensitivity and intolerance testing for patients across Beverly Hills and the greater Los Angeles area.

The expansion comes as food sensitivities remain widespread and frequently unrecognized within the general population. According to a nationwide survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), nearly one in four Americans live in a household affected by a food allergy, intolerance, or sensitivity. Against this backdrop, Los Angeles Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition offers diagnostic testing to give area residents a clearer path toward identifying the foods contributing to their symptoms.
"The most common cause of food sensitivities is the body reacting to chemical components in food, whether occurring naturally or introduced through additives, preservatives, colorings, or flavorings," said a spokesperson for Los Angeles Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition. "Another cause is a deficiency in certain digestive enzymes. Lactose intolerance, the inability to digest the sugar found in milk, is one recognized example, though lactose is not the only food that produces this kind of reaction in many people."
As there are several different laboratory testing models available for food allergy and sensitivity testing, the practice offers a consultation in which the physician determines which model is the best medical fit for the patient, taking insurance coverage and affordability into account. This limited consultation does not include the cost of laboratory fees, which are billed separately once testing is ordered. IgE allergy testing conducted through skin testing is not performed in-house, and patients seeking that specific test are referred to an allergist.
At Los Angeles Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition, testing is paired with customized nutrition recommendations based on each patient's results. This service is offered as part of the practice's broader functional medicine approach, which also includes stool analysis, micronutrient assessment, and inflammatory markers to build a whole-person understanding of what may be contributing to their symptoms.
