Description
The IgG/IgA Asian Food Panel is a targeted test designed to evaluate immune responses to a wide range of Asian cuisine ingredients, helping to identify potential food sensitivities or intolerances. This test measures Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies, which are associated with delayed immune reactions to specific foods. IgG responses are often linked to chronic sensitivities that may cause symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, skin issues, or joint discomfort over time, while IgA responses can indicate immune activity in the gastrointestinal tract, suggesting sensitivity to certain food proteins commonly found in Asian diets.
The panel includes a variety of staple foods, spices, and unique ingredients frequently consumed in Asian cuisines. This focused approach makes it especially beneficial for individuals who regularly consume Asian foods and are experiencing unexplained symptoms such as digestive issues, headaches, or inflammation. By pinpointing specific triggers, the test supports personalised dietary adjustments and tailored management plans aimed at improving health and wellbeing. If you suspect certain foods in your diet may be causing health concerns, this test offers a comprehensive way to gain clarity and control.
