Food intolerance test:-

A food intolerance test is a medical test that aims to identify foods that may be causing adverse reactions in an individual’s body. There are different types of food intolerance tests available in ImuPro, but the most common ones are blood tests and elimination diets.

Blood tests measure the presence of antibodies in the blood that are associated with specific food intolerances. IgG food intolerance testing is a type of blood test that we do in ImuPro. It measures the levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in response to specific foods. The theory behind IgG food intolerance testing is that certain foods may trigger an immune response, leading to the production of IgG antibodies. The test is marketed as a way to identify which foods an individual may be intolerant to and should avoid in their diet.

Elimination diets involve eliminating specific foods or groups of foods from an individual’s diet and then reintroducing them one at a time to see if any adverse reactions occur. This method is considered more reliable than blood tests, but it can be time-consuming and require a lot of discipline.

It’s important to note that food intolerances are different from food allergies. Food allergies involve an immune response to a specific food, while food intolerances involve difficulty digesting certain foods or a chemical sensitivity to certain food components.
