Details
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a class of human antibodies, normally activated to fight parasitic infections. In food-sensitive individuals, these IgE antibodies are misdirected to mistake common foods for harmful antigens. This comprehensive test measures IgG antibodies to over 250 food allergens in just a few drops of blood, making it one of the most extensive and easy-to-use functional tests of its kind. The Food Explorer panel results will help you personalize diet and lifestyle guidance while reducing and eliminating symptoms related to adverse food reactions.

Estimated days for results: Results should arrive 7 - 14 business days after the lab receives samples.
The IgG Food Explorer by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is an ELISA-based multiplex food sensitivity test measuring total IgG antibodies to over 250 food antigens. Results help practitioners personalize diet and lifestyle guidance for their patients to reduce and eliminate symptoms related to adverse food reactions.
Why Test for Food Sensitivities?
Elevated IgG antibodies can promote systemic (whole-body) inflammation, leading to a variety of unwanted symptoms. IgG Food Explorer tests immunoglobulin (IgG) antibodies to a variety of common foods. This extensive food sensitivity test can help practitioners pinpoint which foods may be driving symptoms and best prioritize and individualize a diet and lifestyle plan for patients. Usually, eliminating foods that promote an IgG antibody response can reduce stress on the immune system, lower whole-body inflammation, and help heal the gut. An antibody-guided elimination diet is more reliable and preferable than generalized diet plans or exclusion diets based on food journaling and diet history alone. IgG Food Explorer provides in-depth insight into adverse food reactions and the symptoms they create. Molecular antigens for wheat gliadin and cow's milk are also included for enhanced insight into the sensitivity of those two potentially immunogenic foods.
What Patients Can Benefit from Food Sensitivity Testing?
Food sensitivities are common and on the rise. As a result, most people can benefit from food sensitivity testing. The IgG Food Explorer can help patients who wish to optimize their health and those who have experienced chronic symptoms for years. The range of symptoms related to food sensitivities is vast and varies for each patient.
