What-may-I-eat Food intolerance test (4)

What is a food intolerance test?

This test measures IgG antibodies against a range of foods in your blood. An elevated IgG level for a particular food means that your body has produced antibodies against it—some people associate this with delayed food reactions, although the scientific evidence for this is not conclusive. We recommend discussing the results with a doctor, dietitian, or therapist before making major changes to your diet based on them.

How does it work?

You can choose between a pre-screening test and a more comprehensive test, depending on how many foods you want to have tested. Based on your results, you’ll receive personalized advice from the lab technician regarding any useful follow-up tests. View the available follow-up tests.

You do not need to fast for this test. Are you taking immunosuppressive medications? If so, this may affect the IgG immune response. In that case, please consult your doctor first to determine whether this test is appropriate for you.
