Everyone’s body responds to different foods differently. Our IgG tests determine how sensitive your immune system’s response is to a comprehensive list of foods. Your results will categorize your food sensitivities into three categories: High, Medium, or Low.
These are foods that are safe to eat. You should not notice any food sensitivity symptoms when eating these foods.
These are foods you should watch out for but can eat in moderation. They may cause some food sensitivity symptoms to appear.
These are foods you should avoid whenever possible. They will cause your food sensitivity symptoms to flare up.
Come in for our 184 food panel, which includes most foods in an average diet. Our medical weight loss clinic is located in North Austin.
We’ll take a quick blood draw sample and have it analyzed at a state-of-the-art laboratory and reviewed by a board-certified physician.
In 7-10 business days, you will receive your easy to read, comprehensive test results in the mail. Learn more about what to expect from your results below.
Your food sensitivity results will tell you how reactive your IgG antibodies are to 184 foods commonly found in western diets. In addition, they will include:
“I was feeling really miserable and stuck but Blue Tree put me in the right path and I’m now down over 20lbs. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. I definitely recommend!”
“ They are very compassionate, friendly and full of knowledge. I can’t recommend them more!! You won’t be disappointed!”
Everyone’s body responds to different foods differently. Our IgG tests determine how sensitive your immune system’s response is to a comprehensive list of foods. Your results will categorize your food sensitivities into three categories: High, Medium, or Low.
Our food sensitivity tests determine if your immune system has an abnormal response to immunoglobulins (IgE, IgG, IgA) present in up to 184 different foods. The test takes a matter of minutes, you receive your results within ten business days, and you can implement your results immediately with confidence. Generally, you need to stop eating a food type you’re sensitive to for about four weeks to eliminate its symptoms. Elimination diets restrict many suspect foods from your diet all at once, adding them back one at a time. This can make them both time-consuming and exhausting.
A food sensitivity is an immune response to certain foods. As covered above, symptoms can vary wildly and affect many parts of the body, not just the gut. Though not life-threatening, food sensitivities can range from being a small nuisance to causing debilitating symptoms. Thankfully, they can be resolved by identifying and removing the culprit foods from your diet.
Food allergies, on the other hand, are when the body responds to harmless food proteins with a hypersensitive reaction. This immune reaction can have serious consequences and last an entire lifetime.
In short, a food allergy is a potentially life-threatening immune (over)reaction to otherwise harmless foods. Food sensitivities are non-life-threatening immune responses that can be remedied by removing problem foods from a diet.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is found in all body fluids, making it the most abundant type of antibody. It protects against bacterial and viral infections. Like all antibodies, IgGs are proteins made by the immune system to fight bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. They’re made to sound the alarm and attack any antigens that enter the body. In the case of food sensitivities, this reaction meant to protect you can instead do harm.
Leaky gut is a condition that affects intestinal permeability, meaning it allows bacteria and toxins to pass through the intestinal wall. When these harmful substances “leak” through, they can cause both inflammation and a reaction from the immune system. Inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and has been associated with autoimmune diseases. Food sensitivities are one of the most common symptoms of leaky gut.
No appointment is needed for a food sensitivity test at Blue Tree Health. However, we still recommend calling us beforehand to ensure that we’re prepared for your visit.
