Presentation Transcript

  1. How sound is the science behind food intolerance testing by blood sampling?

  2. Food Intolerance is a separate term from food allergy. • Both terms should be treated differently as the outcomes for each are different from the other • Food Intolerance is otherwise termed Food Insensitivity where the body produces immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies as an immune reaction to certain foods.

  3. However, unlike food allergies, food intolerance is not life-threatening but can cause unpleasant symptoms • Like depression, chronic fatigue, psoriasis, acne, diarrhea, skin inflammation, brain fog, bloating, constipation, and even stomach pain. • Several tests are done to determine food intolerance.

  4. How sound is the science behind food intolerance testing by blood sampling? Tests like skin prick tests, blood tests, oral food challenges, elimination diets, vega testing, and hair analysis. When a blood test is done, blood is drawn out and the serum is measured to detect IgE and IgG levels in the blood.

  5. You can determine which foods you are likely to be sensitive to. • All said and done it is important to address the root cause that involves working on your gut health. • Nutritional guidance is equally important so that you don't miss out on the key nutrients. In Dubai, food intolerance tests are performed at Freiburg Medical Laboratory LLC.
