IgG mediated delayed response Food Intolerance Test

​

• Food Sensitivity Test (IgG) - RMA FST

• Food sensitivities are very different from food allergies.  The symptoms associated with food sensitivities develop slowly over time as IgG antibody-food antigen immune complexes deposit in various parts of the body and trigger inflammatory reactions.  Depending on where the immune complexes deposit, inflammation can contribute to a variety of different health conditions.  

• IgG reactions frequently occur with commonly consumed foods such as dairy, wheat, eggs, corn, yeast, and soy.  However, there are many other possible offenders and they can sometimes be tricky to pinpoint.

• Undiagnosed food sensitivities may contribute to symptoms and biochemical changes that result in illness and can affect quality of life.  

• Digestive Disorders: Conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Crohn's Disease have been linked to IgG reactions.  Research has shown that elimination of IgG reactive foods can alleviate IBS Symptoms.

• Weight Gain: Antibody-antigen complexes in tissues cause inflammation, which leads to fluids retention and weight gain.  To fight inflammation, the body releases a chemical called ghrelin, which also happens to be an appetite stimulant.  Thus, IgG food reactions may contribute to weight gain in two ways - fluid retention and increased appetite.  

• Numerous studies in peer-reviewed journals have shown the health benefits of removing IgG reactive foods particularly for IBS, migraine headaches and weight management.  There is good evidence that most patients experience improvement in symptoms when IgG reactive foods are removed from the diet.
