Description
The IgG, IgA & IgE Combination Food Panel provides valuable insights into food sensitivities and allergies. By measuring three types of antibodies—Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Immunoglobulin A (IgA), and Immunoglobulin E (IgE)—this panel offers a comprehensive evaluation of how the immune system reacts to different foods. IgE is associated with immediate allergic reactions, often causing symptoms like hives, swelling, or gastrointestinal distress shortly after consumption. In contrast, IgG and IgA are linked to delayed immune responses. IgG reflects chronic food sensitivities that may contribute to long-term symptoms such as digestive issues, fatigue, or skin conditions, while elevated IgA levels suggest immune activity in the gastrointestinal tract and mucosal linings, indicating a response to specific food proteins. This detailed analysis helps identify potential dietary triggers contributing to unexplained symptoms or chronic health conditions. By offering a complete overview of food reactions, this panel enables healthcare providers to develop personalised dietary recommendations tailored to each individual’s needs. For those experiencing persistent or unexplained symptoms, consulting a healthcare professional to interpret the test results is crucial in creating an effective management plan that promotes optimal health and overall wellbeing.
