ImuPro food allergies tests

IgG FOOD ALLERGY

When you are suffering from a chronic complaint that just will not go away, the cause may be a delayed IgG food allergy (type III). IgG food allergies often remain undetected because the symptoms only occur a few hours or even days after the consumption of a trigger food, making them extremely difficult to identify.

Possible symptoms

Fortunately, a reliable diagnostic test and nutritional concept can help: ImuPro. With ImuPro, you will find out whether or not a delayed food allergy could be the cause of your chronic complaints.
What is an IgG food allergy? With type III food allergies, the immune system reacts to usually harmless food allergens and produces specifi c antibodies, called IgG antibodies. These antibodies can then cause infl ammatory reactions which can lead to various chronic complaints. The symptoms are delayed.

Note: An IgG food allergy should not be mistaken for a classic food allergy (type I). If you have a type I allergy, your immune system produces IgE antibodies. These antibodies lead to an immediate allergic reaction. The symptoms appear within seconds or minutes: severe swelling, breathing difficulty, rash, itching skin or even anaphylactic shock. ImuPro does not detect IgE food allergies.

Up to 270 foods are tested. Together with your test results, you will receive your individual nutritional concept – your building blocks to a healthier life.

1 Elimination phase

During the elimination phase, you may consume all the foods without raised levels of IgG antibodies in a 4-day rotation cycle. This helps to prevent the development of new delayed food allergies and malnutrition. All foods with high levels of IgG-antibodies are avoided during this phase. By avoiding them, infl ammatory processes can be reduced or even stopped.

2 Provocation phase

After the elimination phase, you start a provocation diet and gradually include the avoided foods one by one. The provocation phase helps to fi nd your personal trigger foods. Only one new food at a time should be reintroduced in order to fi nd out whether it might be responsible for your complaints.

3 Stabilisation phase 

During the stabilisation phase, the trigger foods identifi ed in the provocation phase are avoided for at least one year so that the IgG antibodies can degrade and your body can recover. Then you may start another provocation phase. You may fi nd that there are one or two foods that you will have to avoid permanently.
