Description

The 96 IgG Gastrointestinal Panel is a comprehensive test that combines food sensitivity testing, yeast overgrowth detection (Candida), and bacterial imbalances (such as H. pylori). This panel provides valuable insights into how your immune system is responding to various foods and gut imbalances that could be contributing to digestive issues, inflammation, and other chronic health problems.

This test is useful for people experiencing symptoms like bloating, fatigue, digestive discomfort, or skin issues, as it helps pinpoint the causes of these symptoms. By identifying specific food sensitivities, yeast overgrowth, or bacterial imbalances, individuals can adjust their diet and lifestyle to improve overall gut health and wellness.

Panel Includes:

96 IgG Food Sensitivity Test

  • Purpose: Identifies food sensitivities, which can lead to chronic inflammation, digestive issues, skin problems, and more.
  • Foods Tested: The test measures IgG responses to 96 different foods, which may include common items in the diet, such as:
  • Almond
  • Apple
  • Banana
  • Beef
  • Black Bean
  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Cashew
  • Chicken
  • Coffee
  • Cow Milk
  • Egg White
  • Garlic
  • Grape
  • Green Bean
  • Peanut
  • Pork
  • Salmon
  • Tuna
  • Wheat
  • Yogurt
  • And many more…

Candida Profile

  • Purpose: Detects the presence of Candida, a type of yeast that can overgrow and lead to gastrointestinal issues, skin problems, and fatigue.
  • Markers Tested:
  • Candida Immune Complex
  • Candida albicans IgA, IgG, and IgM: These markers help to assess the immune response to Candida overgrowth.
  • Importance: Candida overgrowth is linked to bloating, poor digestion, skin conditions like eczema, and even mood imbalances.

H. pylori IgG Test

  • Purpose: Detects Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers, indigestion, and other gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Importance: Persistent H. pylori infection can lead to chronic stomach issues, including acid reflux, ulcers, and digestive discomfort.

How It Works:

  • IgG Antibody Test: Measures the amount of IgG antibodies in your blood, which your immune system produces when it detects food proteins it recognizes as foreign or potentially harmful. IgG-mediated food sensitivities are often delayed and can manifest in symptoms such as bloating, headaches, fatigue, and joint pain.
  • Candida and H. pylori Testing: In addition to food sensitivities, the panel also evaluates markers for Candida and H. pylori, both of which are common causes of gastrointestinal distress. A positive result for these markers may suggest the need for further treatment to restore gut balance.

Foods Tested in the 96 IgG Panel:

This panel includes testing for a wide range of foods commonly consumed, such as:

  • Vegetables: Asparagus, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrot, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Garlic, Kale, Lettuce, Onion, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Tomato, Zucchini
  • Fruits: Almond, Apple, Banana, Blueberry, Cantaloupe, Grape, Lemon, Orange, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Strawberry, Watermelon
  • Proteins: Beef, Chicken, Clam, Codfish, Crab, Egg White, Egg Yolk, Lamb, Lobster, Pork, Salmon, Shrimp, Tuna, Turkey
  • Grains: Barley, Corn, Oats, Rice, Rye, Wheat
  • Nuts & Seeds: Almond, Cashew, Peanut, Pine Nut, Pecan, Walnut, Sesame, Sunflower
  • Dairy & Alternatives: Cow Milk, Mozzarella Cheese, Yogurt
  • Other: Brewer's Yeast, Cocoa Bean, Coffee, Mustard, Oregano, Safflower, Soybean

Symptoms that this Test Can Help Identify:

  • Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, indigestion
  • Skin Problems: Eczema, acne, rashes, hives
  • Fatigue & Headaches: Chronic tiredness, migraines, or tension headaches
  • Joint Pain: Chronic inflammation or pain in joints
  • Mood Issues: Depression, irritability, anxiety linked to food sensitivities or gut imbalances

Why This Test Is Important:

  • Comprehensive Gut Health Assessment: By testing for food sensitivities, yeast overgrowth, and bacterial imbalances, the 96 IgG Gastrointestinal Panel provides a broad view of what could be contributing to your symptoms.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: The test results can help you create a personalized plan that includes dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, or treatments for yeast or bacterial overgrowth.
  • Long-term Wellness: Identifying and addressing underlying gut imbalances can lead to improvements in overall health, energy levels, and well-being.

Test Procedure:

  • Blood Sample: A blood sample is required for the IgG test and the Candida and H. pylori tests. This can typically be done at a lab or via a home collection kit.
  • No Fasting Required: You don’t need to fast before taking the test.
  • Result Timeline: The results typically take 7-10 business days, excluding transportation time.
