Blood spot testing for IgG/IgA provides a simple and practical means to uncover foods causing allergic reactions and allergy related disease.

IgG reactions develop slowly, up to several hours or days after exposure to a food allergen, so testing is often the only way of determining which foods are responsible.

Elevated IgA to specific foods is widely believed to be a sign of damage to the mucous membranes in the gut, such as individuals with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or leaky gut.

The allergy test report graphs IgG/IgA immune response to each of the tested food allergens. Reactions are categorized as no, low, moderate, or high.

Why test for food intolerance?

• Food intolerance occurs with the foods you eat most often
• Most people are unaware that they are eating foods that make them sick
• IgG/IgA reactions are much more common than IgE (immediate/anaphylactic) reactions
• More than 2/3 of people with chronic health conditions have IgG/IgA reactions to food

Related health concerns:

• Vascular: headaches, high blood pressure, circulation disorders
• Respiratory: asthma, chronic coughs, sinusitis, runny nose, and recurrent infections
• Skin: eczema, psoriasis, acne
• Joints: joint pain, Rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation
• Bowel: IBS/Crohn’s/Colitis/Celiac

Eliminating IgG/IgA Positive Foods Improves:

• Weight gain/ fatigue
• Bloating/indigestion
• Migraine headaches
• Autism/ADHD
• Eczema/Psoriasis/Acne
• IBS/Crohn’s/Colitis/Celiac
• Cystic Fibrosis
• Epilepsy
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
