Igg Antibodies, Food Sensitivity

I ordered a home IgG food Intolerance kit from a medical/home-health supplier, and I was shocked at the results. If I could I'd get the one that tested for more intolerances, but it was too $$$

Anyway, the test I got tested for 21 foods: Gluten, Wheat (excluding Gluten), Oat (excluding Gluten), Rice, Whole Milk, Whole Egg, Shell Fish Mix (Shrimp, Crab, Prawn, Lobster, Muscle) Nut mix (Almond, Cashew, Hazelnut, Peanut) Soya Bean, Cocoa Bean, Mushroom, Yeast, Chicken, & Beef

My results showed I had a High Intolerance to: Whole Milk & Whole Egg

a Medium Intolerance:

Cocoa Bean, Wheat (Non-Gluten)

and a Slight Intolerance to:

Gluten, Rice, Shell Fish, Nut mix, Soya Bean, Yeast

I wonder though, is there a such thing as a "slight" intolerance? I mean, it's read by how dark/light the blue dot is, and if there is no blue dot, then there's no intolerance. That kind of sounds like how pregnancy tests are done - yet there is no "slightly" pregnant, lol :unsure:

What are your thoughts? Have any of you ever taken one of these tests?

No, I haven't, but I'm very curious about this test. Where did you find it, and is it terribly expensive? (And do you think it is accurate?)

I can see having varying degrees of reactivity to something, like some people are mildly allergic to nuts, and others have anaphylactic reactions. It's quite different from being pregnant!

LoL, I was speaking metaphorically about the pregnancy thing (and not literally) :P

As for the home IgG sensitivity test - I am not entirely sure what I think about it. I haven't paid enough attention to any patterns I've had (i.e., reactions) to each food; but I can say that I eat many of those foods, and the fact that I feel crappy most of the time, may be a little bit more than a coincidence. Oh, the place I ordered the test at was

My gut (no pun intended) tells me that it is reliable, but then again, I can't say either way for sure. All I know is that, so far this has given me some answers that I have not been able to get up to this point. So I was curious as to what others thought :)

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
