Why our IgG Delayed Food Allergy Test?

Research has shown that around 60% of the US population suffers from food reactions that are causing health challenges. Our Elisa IgG food antibody profile measures the sum of IgG4 levels in serum that react to 90 foods. Our test is called a “delayed food allergy test” since it shows which foods you are reacting to hours or even days after you have consumed the food. Since there may be a delay in reaction time, you may not realize the symptom is caused by a hidden food allergy. When the problem food is consumed it increases the blood levels of IgG antibodies in reaction to the specific food.

We use IgG food allergy testing instead of IgE because IgG food allergies are harder to figure out on your own. IgE food allergies take only a few minutes to cause a reaction, but IgG food allergy reactions can take up to 48 hours to occur.  Skin tests do not show delayed patterns of food allergies.

Example: a person allergic to corn feels fine one day but 12 hours after they eat corn they feel fatigued and light headed.

Example: A child is focused and attentive at school one day, but the next day they are hyperactive and acting out. 

We prefer a blood draw IgG test instead of a blood spot because it tests for more types of food. A blood spot tests for 30 foods and a blood draw tests for 90 foods.  After you receive our kit it can easily be taken to any lab for a blood draw.

Skin Health & Food Allergies: Skin problems can occur when a person’s immune system generates an antibody response to the ingested food. Symptoms like hives, acne, eczema, psoriasis or itching can occur in a few minutes, a few hours or even a few days after eating the allergic food.

Food Allergies, Attention Deficit (ADHD / ADD): Allergies to food can disrupt the hormones and other chemicals in the brain, resulting in adverse symptoms. Some food allergy symptoms may be problems focusing, attention issues, behavior problems, aggression, OCD, increased thoughts and hyperactivity.

Food Allergies & the Immune System: These symptoms are sinusitis, frequent colds & mucous congestion, asthma and breathing problems.

Food Allergies & Fibromyalgia & Pain: The body can be allergic to any food; therefore any food allergy is capable of causing inflammation and arthritis pain. For Fibromyalgia sufferers, food allergies can increase the “pain” sensation in their body.

Food Allergies & Chronic Fatigue: The amount of “good” energy your have to enable you to function optimally throughout the day can be disrupted by food allergies. If you are eating foods that you are having an allergic reaction to the result can be chronic fatigue.

Food Allergies & Insomnia: What you eat throughout the day can prevent you from getting a good nights sleep.

A person may think they feel better when they eat the problem foods since the food is releasing endorphins. When they stop eating the problem food(s) they may experience a withdrawal effect for 4-5 days. After that period symptoms like pain, fatigue, brain fog, hyperactive or even anxiety are reduced or even eliminated.

Food allergies can occur at any age & the more food allergies a person has the more compromised his immune system and absorption is!

It is easy to find out which foods are ok to eat and which foods need to be avoided.
