Food intolerance tests are performed in-clinic test that measure IgG antibodies to 59 specific foods and provides results within 40 minutes. This can identify potential "problem foods" as elevated IgG antibodies may be linked to inflammatory conditions within the body, manifesting in a range of health issues.
How does the test work?
The reaction tray is imprinted with food protein extracts. A finger prick blood sample (50µl) is diluted and added to the tray. In subsequent steps the use of detector and developer solutions enables the identification of the presence of food antibodies through the appearance of one or more blue spots on the tray. The darker the spot, the higher the concentration of IgG antibodies detected to that specific food. Reference to the food layout plan allows the foods causing antibody production to be identified.
Foods tested include:
Wheat
Dairy
Nuts
Yeast
Eggs
Fruits
vegetables
Meats
and many more.
