Because
IgG food reactions take hours or days to develop, this makes it difficult to determine which food is responsible for the reaction without doing testing.
Not exact matches
Our own experience is that the
IgG testing was valuable, and helped us to steer clear of any product with certain
food dyes that caused
reactions in our daughter.
These antibodies are mediated by the
IgG branch of the immune system (different branch than the one that makes
food allergies)- this is known as a Type IV Delayed Hypersensitivity
reaction.
In Clayton's case,
IgG testing revealed
reactions to 18
foods including dairy, peanuts, yeast, citrus, and especially gluten, which can trigger a low - grade immune response that provokes inflammation in the brain as well as other systems.

reactions to the components of the
food; toxins in the
food;
IgG antibodies
In an
IgG reaction, the
IgG antibodies attach themselves to the
food antigen and create an antibody - antigen complex.
Food sensitivities are delayed
reactions to specific
foods that are triggered by
IgG antibodies.
If the
IgG reactions are a measure of exposure to
foods, can you please explain why my
food sensitivity test had almost no significant
reactions to anything except for green beans (which I admittedly hardly ever eat).
Everybody's
IgG reactions to
foods are different, so your test not having any significant
reactions (except for beans) can be completely normal.
In a dark corner, they state: «

IgG reactions, and likely indicates actual tolerance, not intolerance, of a
food.
A test for
food sensitivities will commonly look at
IgG and IgA
reactions to different
foods.
But we should be looking at delayed
reactions, too, the «
IgG - mediated» responses to
food sensitivities.
And herein lies the problem with blood based
food intolerance testing like an
IgG or IgA test: the presence of antibodies to certain
foods does not necessarily suggest that these
foods are causing a harmful or inappropriate immune
reaction.
After the fast we reintroduce
foods one at the time and we test your
reactions to
foods with a simple sublingual test «The Coco pulse test» Alternatively there are labs that do an
IgG / IgE
food allergy panel which measures your immune response to dozens of different
foods.
For example,
IgG and IgA
reactions to
foods are commonly referred to as
food sensitivities.
IgG and IgA
food reactions can be tested from a dried blood strip sample.
This does not look at the
IgG or IgA response which are what clinical literature has shown are the players involved in
food sensitivity
reactions.
Food sensitivities that are more subtle and delayed are mediated by a different immune complex, Immunoglobulin G (
IgG), and are referred to as delayed hypersensitivity
reaction allergies.
This case study evaluated conventional allergy tests (skin prick and serum IgE), tests of other immune - mediated
reactions (serum
IgG and salivary IgA), and tests that claim to measure the energetic
reaction of the whole person to particular
foods (kinesiology, Vega, and Carroll testing).
The first step is to evaluate which
foods are causing those
IgG reactions that you may not be aware of.
Sometimes referred to as
food sensitivities,
IgG reactions are another type of
food allergy.
Even the most popular
food sensitivity blood test available, the ELISA
IgG, can only detect one out of the seven different types of
