Description
NOTE: This test is ONLY AVAILABLE TO AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS.
The IgG & IgA Vegetarian Combination Food panel (3213) efficiently assesses delayed and mucosal damage reactions to 96 common vegetarian foods. This testing method streamlines the process of identifying problematic foods, eliminating the trial-and-error approach, and facilitating a rotation diet based on test results. NutriPATH conducts all antigen tests in duplicate to ensure patients receive accurate and meaningful results for optimal health.
IgG responses can become apparent hours to days after exposure to allergens, known as a delayed sensitivity reaction, making it difficult to identify the culprit (1). Higher IgA levels triggered by specific foods frequently signify damage to the mucous membranes within the gastrointestinal tract (2). People with gastrointestinal symptoms, or suspected intestinal permeability (leaky gut) may discover value in undergoing IgA food reaction testing.
Selecting the vegetarian panel is especially valuable to vegetarians as it eliminates testing for unnecessary animal products, aligning the report with their dietary choices.

Do you have food allergies?
The IgAIgG allergy test is a simple test that you can do at your home or office. The test includes testing for 96 common food allergens by checking each food against your body’s IgAIgG antibodies.
How The Allergy Test Works
The IgA+IgG food allergy test is measuring the antibodies that your immune system produces in response to the allergy food list below. IgAIgG antibodies are one of the most important antibodies as it is the body’s first line of defense so it can tell you which foods you are reacting to and which ones you aren’t. Testing for IgAIgG antibodies against specific foods may be raised when the lining of the intestinal tract, the mucous membrane, become inflamed or damaged. Elevated IgAIgG to specific foods can be a sign of damage to the mucous membranes in the gut.
Individuals with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, coeliac and gluten intolerance or even those with suspected leaky gut may benefit from testing IgAIgG food reactions.
Allergies Vs Intolerance’s & Sensitivities
Some people have allergies to certain foods, this means that when they consume a specific food that they are allergic to, their body’s immune system responds by attacking the substance in order to protect them from the substance. Allergies are always related to an immune system response. On the other hand many people have food intolerance’s, this means that when they consume a food that “disagrees” with them they experience symptoms that often seem like an allergy however the immune system isn’t involved which is difference between an allergy and an intolerance.
Food intolerance’s or food sensitivity’s are your body’s way of saying, “I can’t digest that” or “That food is irritating” or “That food in not compatible with me”. If you believe that you may have a food intolerance you may benefit from a food compatibility program or food intolerance and sensitivity testing.
