IgG Food Intolerance Tests are an essential diagnostic tool for unravelling troublesome symptoms.
What`s the difference between a food intolerance and a food allergy?
Firstly, it`s important to understand the difference between a food intolerance and a food allergy.
Food allergyies have an immediate and often life-threatening response to a food. The immune system mounts an IgE response to a certain trigger.
In contrast to immediate IgE-mediated allergies, food intolerances reveal themselves with a delayed response to a food substance. Whilst the symptoms are troublesome and often can really affect someone`s quality of life, they are not life-threatening.
This response is an IgG Immune response. Symptoms can show up to 48 hours after eating a certain food - making identification of the food difficult without testing.
Typical symptoms
While digestive symptoms such as bloating, cramping, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, and gas are common indicators of food intolerances, these manifestations merely skim the surface.
Food intolerance symptoms can often be more subtle, contributing to a diverse range of symptoms that extend beyond the digestive tract.
In addition to digestive distress, individuals may grapple with persistent eczema unresponsive to conventional treatments, navigate unpredictable mood swings disrupting daily life, battle unexplained fatigue undermining vitality, and endure persistent headaches clouding cognitive clarity.
These seemingly unrelated symptoms frequently find a common denominator in underlying food intolerances.
Does this tell me if I am Coeliac?
No, a Coeliac test is entirely different and can be done from a blood test with your GP, or privately with me. You should also know that if you have been tested for Coeliac`s disease and been told that the test was negative, you can still be intolerant to gluten or wheat. The two conditions are very different.
How is the test performed?
The IgG Food Intolerance Test with ELISA laboratory technology is the gold standard of testing.
Utilising a fingerprick blood sample, collected on a swab, this accessible and convenient test is suitable for adults and children aged 2 and above. It is very easy to do and will be sent to your address, where you can complete the test in the comfort of your own home.
Once the laboratory analysis is complete, your results will be sent to the clinic and then a short telephone or video appointment will be made to discuss your results.
The transformative potential of this knowledge is significant, as clients often experience relief and an enhanced quality of life by strategically eliminating problematic foods.
