Description

The IgG4 General Foods 144 Foods Panel is a comprehensive test designed to assess immune responses to a wide range of foods by measuring Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) antibodies. IgG4 is a subtype of Immunoglobulin G, and its presence can indicate delayed food sensitivities that may contribute to chronic health issues such as digestive discomfort, skin conditions, headaches, and fatigue. Unlike other IgG subtypes, IgG4 responses are typically associated with immune tolerance making it particularly useful in identifying subtle or long-term sensitivities that may go unnoticed.

This test evaluates 144 common foods, providing an extensive overview of potential food triggers that could be affecting your health. By identifying IgG4-mediated reactions, this panel helps to uncover food sensitivities that might be contributing to symptoms like eczema, fatigue, or inflammation over time. The results allow healthcare providers to offer personalised dietary advice, enabling patients to make informed decisions and avoid foods that could be causing discomfort. Working with a healthcare professional is essential for interpreting the results accurately and developing a tailored dietary plan that improves overall wellbeing and supports better health outcomes.
