What is Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test?
Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test is a diagnostic blood test that detects immune system reactions to specific foods by measuring the presence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. Unlike immediate-type allergies that trigger rapid and often obvious symptoms through Immunoglobulin E (IgE) responses such as hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis, IgG-related responses are delayed and more subtle. These reactions can take several hours or even days to appear after consuming a food, which makes identifying the triggered food through observation alone very challenging. The test examines antibody levels against a broad panel of foods, including dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and more.
Elevated IgG antibody levels may suggest that certain foods are provoking an ongoing immune response, potentially contributing to chronic symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, skin irritation, joint discomfort, or mood changes. Although the exact mechanism behind delayed food hypersensitivity is not yet fully understood, research indicates that immune activity related to IgG antibodies may be linked to low-grade inflammation and disturbances in gut health. By identifying and temporarily removing reactive foods, many have experienced noticeable improvements in well-being, energy levels, and symptom relief. This test serves as a complementary tool alongside traditional IgE allergy testing and can guide a more personalized approach to diet and health management.
How It Works
Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test at our affiliated clinic begins with the collection of a small blood sample. This sample is then sent to a specialized laboratory, where it is tested against a wide range of common foods. The laboratory uses precise techniques to measure the levels of IgG antibodies in the blood, which are proteins produced by the immune system in response to food antigens. These antibodies reflect how the body has reacted to certain foods over time.
Once the analysis is complete, the results are presented in a detailed report that shows the degree of reactivity to each food, often categorized into levels such as low, moderate, or high. Foods with high antibody levels are considered potential triggers of delayed immune responses. Based on the findings, the doctor at our affiliated clinic may recommend temporarily removing certain foods from the diet to observe any improvements in symptoms. Over time, some foods may be reintroduced carefully, depending on changes in symptoms and antibody levels.

FAQ
Q1: What kind of symptoms are suitable for taking Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test?
A1: Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test is suitable for patients experiencing unexplained or ongoing symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, constipation, or diarrhea. Other signs include frequent fatigue, headaches, skin issues like eczema or acne, joint or muscle pain, brain fog, mood changes, poor sleep, or difficulty losing weight.
Q2: Can Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test help with weight management?
A2: Yes, Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test can help with weight management by identifying foods that may be causing inflammation, bloating, or sluggish digestion. Eliminating reactive foods based on the test results may improve metabolism, reduce water retention, and support healthier eating habits that contribute to weight loss or weight balance.
Q3: How long does Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test take to complete?
A3: During Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test, the blood collection usually takes between 5 to 10 minutes and results are typically available within 7 to 14 days.
Q4: Can Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test help to improve mental clarity or focus?
A4: Yes, patients who eliminate high-reactive foods after Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test can improve concentration, better mood stability, and reduce brain fog.
Q5: Can Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test be done during menstruation?
A5: Yes, Delayed IgG Food Allergy Test can be taken during menstruation as hormonal fluctuations typically do not affect IgG levels.
