FOOD ANTIBODY TESTING
IgG4 antibodies are associated with “delayed” food reactions that can worsen or contribute to many different health problems and are considered the most common form of food intolerance.  These reactions can be difficult to notice since they can occur hours or even days after consumption of an offending food.  In some cases, a person may eat a food for several days before developing a reaction to it, so they may not realize the link between the food and their symptoms.  These “hidden” food allergies are caused by increasing blood levels of IgG4 antibodies in reaction to specific foods.  Often the offenders are frequently eaten foods that are hard to avoid, such as milk, corn and wheat.

From a simple finger stick, the Bloodspot IgG4 Food antibody profile measures levels of IgG4 antibodies specific to 30 commonly offending foods.  It clearly identifies those foods that may be causing health problems, helping to achieve positive outcomes sooner, even when combined with elimination testing of specific foods.

Food sensitivities can occur at any age, triggering many symptoms and may contribute to a variety of disorders, including:

• Inflammatory bowel disorder
• Fatigue
• Attention Disorders
• Migraines
• Skin problems
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Sinusitis
• Recurrent ear infections
