Did you know that you can have food sensitivity testing done at Body Logic?? Dr. Amanda can help you test for different food sensitivities you may have and help guide you to a healthier lifestyle. She is connected with Genova Diagnostics and performs their test, Allerigix® IgG4 Food Antibodies- Bloodspot 30, to determine potential food intolerances. The test covers 30 different foods, including egg, dairy, wheat, soy, corn and may other major food allergens. For more information about the test please click here.
Why use a blood test to evaluate for food intolerances? Why not?? The Bloodspot 30 test measures IgG4 antibodies in the blood indicating an immune reaction to different foods. IgG antibodies respond in a delayed manner whereas IgE antibodies are associated with an immediate reaction such as anaphylaxis. IgE antibodies are tested by performing the prick test often done in an allergist’s office. Having low level IgG immune response is not life-threatening in the short term; however, if someone eats a food that activates the immune system on a daily basis the long term effects can be detrimental to his/her health. Chronic migraines and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) are just two complications that can be associated with food sensitivities.
