Food Intolerance Test (IgG)

What food intolerance is

Food intolerance occurs when the body has difficulty digesting, metabolizing or assimilating, fully or partially, a substance found in food. This is usually due to a lack of the enzymes needed for proper digestion and absorption, which ends up activating the immune system against these products.

Research shows that food intolerance may be associated with IgG antibodies raised by the immune system when we eat certain foods. Studies describe more than 150 associated signs and symptoms.

Associated symptoms

• Difficulty losing weight and PMS
• Abdominal pain, irritability, anxiety and depression
• Migraine and headache
• Itching, dermatitis, acne, rhinitis and sinusitis
• Belching, heartburn, diarrhea, flatulence, indigestion, nausea or vomiting
• Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and joint pain

How the result is used

Once the foods responsible for raised IgG are identified, they are reassessed in the diet through a guided elimination and reintroduction protocol, reducing inflammation and the associated symptoms.
