Food Sensitivity Testing
Food Sensitivity & Intolerance Testing
IgG-mediated food sensitivity testing to identify delayed immune reactions to specific foods. Used in functional medicine to guide elimination diets, reduce chronic inflammation, and heal gut permeability.
How Food Sensitivity Testing Works
IgG food sensitivity tests measure immunoglobulin G antibodies against food proteins. Elevated IgG may indicate increased gut permeability (leaky gut) allowing food proteins to enter the bloodstream, triggering delayed immune reactions and chronic low-grade inflammation.
📊 Evidence by Outcome
Identifies foods triggering IgG immune responses. Elimination of reactive foods often reduces chronic inflammation, bloating, and skin issues. Evidence debated.
