What's Included
Full Description
Many people exhibit chronic food sensitivity reactions to specific foods. The reaction towards a given food group may be exhibited as an immunological reaction by an increase in IgG antibodies. Unlike the immediate effects of IgE-mediated allergy, IgG-mediated food sensitivity reactions may take several days to appear.
Food intolerance refers to gastrointestinal discomfort due to IgG antibodies which are sensitized by specific food proteins. Irritable bowel syndrome may also be linked to food sensitivity (IgG). This test quantifies the titre of IgG antibodies found against 220 different foods, providing information about potential food sensitivities.
Important: Food intolerance tests are not the same as food allergy tests, lactose intolerance tests, or coeliac disease tests. The link between raised food-specific IgG levels and specific symptoms is not fully understood within the medical community.

What does IVD mean?
In vitro diagnostics (IVD) tests are medical diagnostic tests that are used for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or medical conditions in humans. In contrast to other, research use only (RUO) tests, IVD tests are regulated by governmental agencies and are required to meet certain performance standards before they can be marketed and sold to the public. This is an IVD test.
