I can’t tell you how many people have reached out to me with a HUGE list of foods that they are “sensitive” to and that they’ve been told not to eat. They proceed to freak out because the list is so long and excludes all of their favorite things. 

When these IgG food sensitivity tests are ran, they test for the levels of IgG present in your body in response to each food. But IgG is an antibody that is actually completely normal for the body to produce in response to eating different foods. In fact, it’s normal for you IgG level to generally be higher for the foods you eat more often, showing that your body tolerates that food well. 

Unlike IgE tests, which are used to detect actual food allergies, IgG tests are unregulated and unproven. The few studies that seem to support IgG testing have been criticized for a variety of design flaws. 

As a result the following organizations all strongly recommend against taking IgG food sensitivity tests: 
American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology 
The Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 
The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 

Furthermore, this type of flawed food testing leads to unecessary dietary restrictions and food fears that can significantly decrease your quality of life. 

In today’s video, I dive into this topic even more in depth. Enjoy!
