Food Sensitivity Test to Support Gut and Immune Health
Evaluate Over 250 Food Sensitivities With a Simple At-Home Collection!
The IgG Food Explorer™ by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is a comprehensive food sensitivity test that measures total IgG antibodies to over 250 food antigens using an Elisa-based multiplex platform.
With a simple at-home collection, the IgG Food Explorer helps practitioners assess immune-mediated food sensitivities and develop personalized diet and lifestyle recommendations for their patients. By identifying hidden food sensitivities, this test supports strategies to reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and alleviate symptoms related to adverse food reactions.           We know you want to be proactive about your health. IgG Food Explorer can help your doctor evaluate how you function to either optimize your current health or identify health issues that need attention. Our goal is to help you achieve your health goals through research-based testing and treatment protocols tailored to your unique needs.
Understanding Food Sensitivities vs. Food Allergies
Food sensitivities and food allergies are not the same. Different arms of the immune system facilitate both conditions. Food sensitivities are delayed reactions and elicit IgG antibodies, while food allergies are immediate, potentially life-threatening, mast-cell mediated, and often involve IgE antibodies.
It is best practice to measure IgG and IgE antibodies together as they independently create inflammation and play key roles in symptoms driven by food. A food can elicit an IgG sensitivity response, and an IgE antibody response, or both.
By understanding a patient's food sensitivities, practitioners can tailor dietary protocols that can help resolve uncomfortable symptoms.
NOTE: IgG Food Explorer does not test for dietary intolerances (such as lactose intolerance) and does not test for celiac disease-specific antibodies.
