IgG food intolerance, also known as delayed food sensitivity, occurs when the immune system produces IgG antibodies in response to certain foods. Unlike immediate allergic reactions, symptoms of IgG food intolerance can take hours or even days to appear, making it difficult to pinpoint the cause. Common symptoms include bloating, fatigue, headaches, and digestive issues.
To diagnose IgG food intolerance, a blood test can detect specific IgG antibodies linked to problematic foods. Many people choose a Smartblood finger prick home-to-lab test kit, which allows you to easily collect a sample at home and send it to our lab for analysis.
If you suspect you have IgG food intolerance, our test offers a quick and easy way to identify food sensitivities without the need for a doctor’s visit. Once you’ve identified the trigger foods, you can follow an IgG food intolerance diet set out during a follow-up consultation with our BANT registered Nutritional Therapist who can help you develop a personalized plan to eliminate trigger foods, manage your symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
Once your test has been completed your results will be instantly delivered to you via email. The results are broken down into different food groups and graded on a reactivity scale of 0-5, making the results easy to interpret and reference during your consultation with our Nutritional Therapist.
Smartblood define food intolerance as a food or drink specific IgG antibody reaction. Smartblood do not claim or attempt to claim to diagnose medical conditions, or cure or treat medical conditions.
