Description
The IgG & IgA Vegetarian Combination Food panel (3213) efficiently assesses delayed and mucosal damage reactions to 96 common vegetarian foods. This testing method streamlines the process of identifying problematic foods, eliminating the trial-and-error approach, and facilitating a rotation diet based on test results. NutriPATH conducts all antigen tests in duplicate to ensure patients receive accurate and meaningful results for optimal health.
IgG responses can become apparent hours to days after exposure to allergens, known as a delayed sensitivity reaction, making it difficult to identify the culprit (1). Higher IgA levels triggered by specific foods frequently signify damage to the mucous membranes within the gastrointestinal tract (2). People with gastrointestinal symptoms, or suspected intestinal permeability (leaky gut) may discover value in undergoing IgA food reaction testing.
Selecting the vegetarian panel is especially valuable to vegetarians as it eliminates testing for unnecessary animal products, aligning the report with their dietary choices.
