Uncovering Food Sensitivities

The IgG Food MAP measures antibodies to 190 common foods, including a wide range of foods, herbs, and spices, common in the Western, Asian, and Mediterranean diets. IgG food sensitivities provide a useful guide for elimination diets with clinical impact for a variety of diseases. People may continue to eat offending foods unaware of their potential adverse effects, because symptoms associated with food sensitivities may occur hours or days after the offending food was eaten. The IgG Food MAP is available as both Serum and Dried Blood Spot.

What Patients Might Benefit IgG Food Map

There are a number of symptoms and diseases associated with IgG food sensitivities. Elimination/Rotation diets driven by serum or blood-spot analysis prove impactful in relieving symptoms.

  • Headaches / Migraines 
  • Weight gain / Obesity 
  • Coughing
  • Ringing in the ears
  • GI Upset – gas, bloating, diarrhea
  • Skin rash, itching, eczema
  • Nasal congestion
  • Forgetfulness
  • Insomnia
  • Behavioral problems

Why Test IgG Antibodies

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) food testing is a useful guide for structuring elimination diets for patients with many chronic conditions. Individuals with neurological, gastrointestinal, movement, and behavioral disorders often suffer from IgG food sensitivities. People may continue to eat offending foods unaware of their potential adverse effects. Symptoms associated with food sensitivities may occur hours or days after the offending food was eaten because IgG food antibodies remain for a much longer time than IgE antibodies.

Upgrade Technology

Antigen-specific IgG antibodies are captured on multiplexed magnetic beads, using xMAP® (Multiple Analyte Profiling) technology. The xMAP® bead-based immunoassay allows for the simultaneous detection of IgG antibodies to all 190 foods in two single test wells, reducing sample volume requirements and reagents while increasing sensitivity and specificity as compared to traditional plate-based ELISA tests. The upgraded immunoassay is cost and time effective, easy to perform and reproducible. We have now fully automated all steps of our testing processes, leading to even better precision.
