6. IgG Food Sensitivity Test with Candida & Yeast (DBS)
IgG (immunoglobulin G) testing helps identify delayed food sensitivities that may contribute to long-term health issues, particularly affecting digestion, immune function, the nervous system, and inflammatory conditions. The results support a targeted elimination diet. Unlike IgE food allergies, which trigger immediate reactions, IgG-mediated food sensitivities are delayed, with symptoms appearing hours to days after consumption. This often makes identifying problematic foods difficult without testing. The test also includes assessment of Candida. When overgrown, Candida can disrupt the intestinal lining, contribute to increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut), produce toxins, and drive chronic immune activation. The risk of Candida overgrowth is higher after antibiotic use, hormonal contraceptives, chemotherapy, or corticosteroid treatment. This test helps identify:
- Delayed food sensitivities
- Diet-related immune burden
- Detect early signs of liver or kidney overload
- Gut imbalance associated with Candida
