Food Sensitivity / IgG Testing

Blood tests measuring IgG (and sometimes other) reactions to dozens or hundreds of foods, sold to guide elimination diets for bloating, fatigue and inflammation.

Evidence

experimental

Major allergy and immunology bodies state IgG food testing is not validated to diagnose sensitivities or guide diets; IgG typically reflects exposure/tolerance rather than pathology, so the wellness claim is unproven.

Regulatory notes

European Union
Sold as wellness/lab services; professional allergy societies (and some regulators) explicitly advise against IgG food testing for diagnosis.
United States
Not FDA-approved for diagnosing food allergy/intolerance; the AAAAI recommends against IgG food panels, but they are sold commercially.
United Arab Emirates
Available in licensed wellness clinics as lab services, marketed for intolerance screening.
United Kingdom
Sold commercially as wellness tests; professional bodies advise against their diagnostic use.
