144 Food Sensitivity (Antibody – IgG) Panel

While allergies are a process that can usually affect your entire body, a sensitivity reaction is something that is usually much more localized.  This is because a specific antibody type, called IgG, is creating a more low-grade and targeted inflammatory process.

These localized processes are usually milder and harder to detect than an allergic reaction; but can still cause specific symptoms like bloating, digestive problems, and joint pain or more systemic problems like nausea, fatigue, or headaches.  Because the antibody causing this reaction is completely different from an allergy, it is possible to be sensitive (produce IgG) against something, yet not be allergic (produce IgE); or the other way around!

Antibody based sensitivity tests will look for many different IgG, each one targeted to something different.  The bigger the panel, the greater number of items that can be tested for.  If you are interested in a specific food item or type (seafood, dairy, etc.) or inhaled substance (grasses, trees, etc.), consult with your local Any Lab Test Now to make sure that item or substance is being tested for in the panel of your choice.

Test results should be interpreted and discussed with your provider.
