This test involves a simple blood collection done at any Life Labs location, followed by a collection to isolate delayed reactions to reactive foods. As IgG food reactions can develop over a period of hours to days, determining specific food sensitivities can prove difficult via elimination or food journaling alone.
The notion of eliminating IgG reactive foods from the diet is gaining increasing support as a host of clinical benefits are being seen. From the alleviation of symptoms such as gas and bloating, to a decrease in the severity of certain skin ailments such as psoriasis and eczema and improvements in various gastrointestinal, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, this stand-alone test is surely a starting point in any patient assessment.
