IgG FOOD ALLERGY TEST

93 FOODS TESTED!

IgG for Behavioural, Digestive and Chronic Disorders
IgG testing is a useful guide in structuring elimination diets for many chronic conditions. Individuals with neurological, gastrointestinal, and movement disorders often suffer from IgG food allergies. These people may continue to compulsively eat the offending food, unaware of potential effects. Complete elimination of potential problem foods from the diet may bring about striking improvements in health status, mood, energy, and even behaviour.

IgG antibodies are the antibodies that provide long term resistance to infections after immunizations. These antibodies have a much longer half life than traditional IgE allergy and function in a much different capacity with immune cells. This different function of IgG causes the symptoms of the allergy to be delayed. Thus, symptoms may occur hours or even days after the offending food has been ingested. Some people can tolerate a large amount of food without ever experiencing any outward symptoms. Others may only require a minute amount of food before symptoms are expressed. The degree and severity of symptoms vary because of the genetic makeup of the individual.

Clinical studies have recently been published which demonstrate that complete elimination of IgG positive foods may bring about important improvements in symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Autism, AD(H)D, Cystic Fibrosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Epilepsy.

At Springwood Natural Health Clinic we offer an affordable, comprehensive, and accurate IgG Food Allergy Test. We offer 93 foods tested at a fraction of the cost of other labs.

Dried Blood Spot (DBS): A Convenient Collection
The IgG Food Allergy Test is available as a dried blood spot collection. This method is a convenient alternative for patients and practitioners who cannot perform a blood draw. The specimen can be collected from the convenience of home or our clinic and shipped directly to our laboratory for analysis.

General Description
The antibodies that provide long term resistance to infections, called Immunoglobulin G (IgG), have a much longer half life than the traditional IgE allergy. Symptoms, ranging from headache and nausea to seizure and hyperactivity, may occur hours or even days after the offending food has been ingested. The degree and severity of symptoms vary because of the genetic makeup of the individual. The complete elimination of IgG positive foods may bring about important improvements in symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, autism, AD(H)D, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and epilepsy as demonstrated in numerous clinical studies. The 93 foods tested in the IgG Food Allergy Test increase the identification of numerous offending foods. This test can be performed using either serum from a blood draw or dried blood from a finger prick.
