Researchers estimate that at least 60% of the U.S. population suffers from unsuspected food reactions that can cause or complicate health problems. Symptoms can be extraordinarily diverse, ranging from arthritis to eczema to migraines. For that reason, many health professionals routinely consider food allergies or intolerances when evaluating a patientís health problems. The Bloodspotô IgG Food Antibody Profile can be the food allergy test of choice for many clinicians to identify problem foods for their patients.

The less common but widely recognized atopic food sensitivities, such as an immediate reaction to peanuts or shell fish, are IgE-mediated responses.

IgG antibodies are associated with non-atopic or "delayed" food reactions that can worsen or contribute to many different health problems. These reactions are more difficult to notice since they can occur hours or even days after consumption of an offending food. In some cases, a person may eat a food for several days before developing a reaction to it, so they may not realize the link between the food and their symptoms. These "hidden" food allergies are caused by increasing IgG antibody blood levels in reaction to specific foods.

Often the offenders are frequently eaten foods that are hard to avoid, such as milk, corn, and wheat. Simultaneous high levels of many IgG food-specific antibodies are generally related to intestinal hyperpermeability.

Food sensitivities can occur at any age, triggering many different symptoms and contributing to a variety of disorders, including:
Inflammatory bowel disease

• Fatigue
• ADD/ADHD
• Migraine
• Skin problems
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Sinusitis
• Recurrent ear infections

From a simple finger stick, the  IgG Food Antibody Profile measures levels of IgG antibodies specific to 96 commonly offending foods. It clearly identifies those foods that may be causing health problems, helping to achieve positive outcomes sooner, even when combined with elimination/provocation testing.

Included with each assessment: 
7-Zone Color Bar Graph - This offers a visual representation of a patient's antibody levels shown against the respective antigens from our food and inhalant panels.

Foods and Aeroallergens - These are grouped by type, e.g. dairy, nuts/grains, molds, pollens, etc.
Individualized Report - A FoodStats Elimination & Rotation Diet Guideline comes with each food antibody report exhibiting high reactions.
