Food Sensitivity Testing

Description

Food sensitivity testing is a laboratory method used to identify foods that may trigger delayed immune responses, often measured by IgG antibodies, to help guide dietary adjustments. What Food Sensitivity Testing Measures Food sensitivity tests primarily measure the body’s immune response to specific foods, focusing on immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. Unlike food allergies, which involve IgE antibodies and cause immediate reactions such as hives or anaphylaxis, food sensitivities are delayed reactions that can take hours or days to manifest after consuming specific foods.
