Description
In some cases, a person may eat something, and then it will take 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 IgG antibody blood levels in reaction to specific foods. Often the offenders are frequently eaten foods that are hard to avoid, such as milk, corn, and wheat. Simultaneous high levels of many IgG food-specific antibodies are generally related to intestinal hyperpermeability.
From a simple finger prick, the Bloodspot™ IgG Food Antibody Profile measures levels of IgG 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/provocation testing.
The Bloodspot IgG Food Antibody Profile: Detects delayed or hidden food sensitivities, and does not require venipuncture. It is so easy to use that patients can even do it at home.
