Dietary Antigen Tests - Food Allergy Tests

Food allergy testing (sensitivity) is very helpful in developing a dietary strategy to reduce symptoms and restore health.  Of course, avoidance of known cross reactive foods is also necessary. Ultimately, repairing the gut flora with target supplementation, the offending food can often be brought back into the diet.

IgG and IgA are immune reactions occurring up to 72 hours after eating the reactive food. Certainly, this makes it difficult to figure out what the offending food(s) are. Ask yourself, “what did I eat 72 hours ago that is causing my stomach ache?” Eliminating inflammatory foods can often be the missing piece of the puzzle.  As a result, the gut heals and the chronic health condition goes away.

The most common food allergies are dairy, eggs, gluten grains (wheat, oats, rye), corn, beans (especially soy), and nuts. There are seldom real allergies to meat, rice, millet, vegetables, or fruit.  However, an allergy to garlic is not uncommon. Click for food allergy study

A real allergy, IgE,  causes a histamine inflammatory reaction at the site of the small intestine lining. Sensitivity, which may cause uncomfortable symptoms, is seldom as damaging.

Sensitivities are usually due to low stomach acid or pancreatic enzyme secretion, in other words, poor digestion.

In the healing of the intestinal lining, exposure to a significant allergy can sabotage the treatment. For example, one may be very good at restricting wheat, dairy and eggs, but then compromises the treatment by taking garlic tablets.
