Allergy Test

Allergies and sensitivities can manifest in a range of symptoms that impact multiple organ systems, often disrupting daily life. These symptoms can vary from mild to severe and include respiratory issues such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and asthma-like wheezing, which can make breathing difficult and interfere with daily activities. Digestive problems like bloating, stomach pain, and diarrhea can affect nutrition and overall comfort. Skin reactions, including rashes, hives, and eczema, can cause significant discomfort and impact self-esteem. Additionally, neurological symptoms such as headaches, brain fog, and mood swings can impair cognitive function and emotional well-being. This broad spectrum of symptoms highlights the complexity of allergies and sensitivities, emphasizing the need for a thorough diagnosis and personalized treatment approach.

IgE Testing: Measures Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which are produced in response to allergens. Elevated IgE levels indicate an immediate allergic reaction to specific foods. This test is commonly used to diagnose classic allergic reactions like hay fever or asthma. 

IgG Testing: Detects Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, which can indicate delayed hypersensitivity or food sensitivities. Elevated IgG levels suggest that your immune system is reacting to certain foods, potentially leading to symptoms like digestive issues or chronic inflammation. This test helps identify potential food intolerances or sensitivities that may not cause immediate reactions.

IgA Testing: Measures Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies, which play a crucial role in mucosal immunity, such as in the gut and respiratory tract. Elevated or reduced IgA levels can indicate issues with mucosal immunity and may be associated with conditions like chronic sinusitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or celiac disease.
