ALLERGIX Antibody Profiles
Next Generation Food Sensitivity Testing
Breakthroughs in IgG Antibody Testing!
- New patent pending IgG4 assay
- First test to quantitate IgG4
- Eliminate non-specific binding therefore eliminate false positives
without rejecting true positives!
Food sensitivities can occur at any age, triggering many different symptoms and contributing to a variety of disorders, including:
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Fatigue
- ADD/ADHD
- Migraines
- Skin Problems
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Sinusitis
- Recurrent Ear Infections
Food Antibody Testing
IgE
The less common but widely recognized atopic food sensitivities,
such as an immediate reaction to peanuts or shell fish, are IgE-mediated
responses.
IgG4
IgG4 antibodies are associated with non-atopic or "delayed" food
reactions that can worsen or contribute to many different health
problems and are considered the most common form of immunology
mediated food intolerance. These reactions are more difficult to
notice since they can occur hours or even days after consumption
of an offending food. In some cases, a person may eat a food for
several days before developing a reaction to it, so they may not
realize the link between the food and their symptoms. These "hidden" food
allergies are caused by increasing blood levels of IgG4 antibodies
in reaction to specific foods. Often the offenders are frequently
eaten foods that are hard to avoid, such as milk, corn and wheat.
Simultaneous high levels of many IgG4 food-specific antibodies
are generally related to intestinal hyperpermeability.
Bloodspot IgG4
From a simple finger stick, the Bloodspot IgG4 Food Antibody Profile
measures levels of IgG4 antibodies specific to 30 commonly offending
foods. It clearly Identifies those foods that may be causing health
problems, helping to achieve positive outcomes sooner, even when
combined with elimination/provocation testing.
