FoodProfil research

The FoodProfil survey This is a laboratory test carried out on a blood sample, which may include the detection of IgG antibodies against selected food components. The test is offered as a means of providing information about the body’s reaction to specific foods. It should be borne in mind, however, that the presence of specific IgG antibodies to foods is not equivalent to a diagnosis allergies or food intolerance.

It is worth distinguishing between IgG tests and the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy. Allergic reactions They may have different aetiologies; therefore, the interpretation of symptoms and test results should always take into account the patient’s medical history and the nature of their symptoms. If a food allergy is suspected, the doctor may order appropriate tests, including the measurement of specific IgE antibodies, and, in selected cases, may also carry out a controlled food challenge.

The FoodProfil survey may include an analysis of reactions to a range of food products. Depending on the specific panel, the test may include, amongst other things, cereal products, dairy products, eggs, meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, nuts and other dietary components. The range of products analysed depends on the test variant selected.

The test result should be interpreted taking into account the patient’s state of health, diet and any symptoms they may be experiencing. You should not eliminate foods from your diet on your own simply because of elevated IgG antibody levels. Unjustified restrictions on many products can lead to an unnecessarily limited diet and increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies.

If you experience any symptoms after eating certain foods – such as stomach ache, bloating, diarrhoea, skin changes or other recurring symptoms – it is advisable to consult a doctor. A specialist can determine which tests are actually necessary and whether the symptoms may be linked to an allergy, an intolerance or another health issue.

If the test results indicate a need to adjust one’s diet, personalised diet plan It should be devised taking into account the body’s actual needs and the recommendations of a doctor or dietitian.
