I saw your article about IgG food intolerances, and I’m wondering how I can get tested for that?
It can be done with a simple finger poke, because the lab that specializes in IgG antibodies only needs a little blood to match up your antibodies with the proteins in food. You can even do it yourself—the kit is available here.
I had food allergies checked by my allergist and then did an IgG panel a few years ago…but I still don’t feel well…what should I do now?
The technology for identifying antibodies to foods has improved so much over the past couple years. We can now test for both cooked and raw foods, and for multiple proteins in foods. So, if you were tested a few years ago, it is worth re-checking. And an allergist will focus on IgE antibodies, which is important, but if that information hasn’t resolved your health concerns, I suggest that you also check for IgG antibodies, and potentially IgA as well.
