Myfoodprofile food intolerance standard test (54 products)

Test results are influenced by diet a few weeks before the test is performed.

If you have not consumed a certain food product for a longer period, it may be that IgG antibodies against the food product antigens are not detected or are detected in very low amounts in your blood sample. 

Why do IgG antibody results react to foods you've never eaten before?

The structure of proteins (antigens) found in some different food products is very similar. Therefore, antibodies produced by the body can recognize not only the antigens they were formed for but also antigens of other food products. Such cross-reaction may be the reason why your test results show an increased reaction to food products you have never eaten before. It is possible that you unconsciously consumed ingredients of food products that cause this reaction. For example, food supplements and cosmetic products may contain food antigens that cause complaints. 

Is the food intolerance test suitable for children? 

Currently, there are no guidelines specifying the minimum age at which an IgG food hypersensitivity test can be performed. Since the immune system of an infant is still in the developmental phase, it is not recommended to perform a food intolerance test on children under two years of age.

The food intolerance test determines IgG class antibodies against food and food additives. Depending on which organ system is affected, food intolerance manifests itself with various symptoms:

• In the digestive tract diarrhea, constipation, bloating, nausea, stomach dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome;
• In the skin itching, rash, eczema, urticaria, acne, psoriasis;
• In the motion system joint pain, arthritis, muscle spasms;

• In the respiratory system asthma, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis;
