What the laboratory says this test is for

IgE-assays are the best-studied and most accepted serologic tests for evaluating food allergy status. However, some clinicians also use IgG tests when evaluating individuals for food allergies, sensitivities, or tolerance. Food-specific IgG is generally believed to be a normal physiological response to food exposures. Therefore, many professional organizations, including the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, recommend against using IgG testing to diagnose food allergies or food intolerances/sensitivities [1-3]. We offer IgG food tests to support providers who use them in their evaluation of patients experiencing adverse reactions to foods. References: 1.

About this page

Everything above is drawn from the named sources and shown as they published it. Reference ranges belong to the laboratory that issued them and the population it named; they are not a universal normal. This page describes the biomarker in general and does not interpret anyone's result. For your own numbers, talk to a clinician, or use Aumnivida, which reads the same graph next to your records.
