Food Intolerance Master 220+

It means your immune system has met that food and made IgG to it. That is a normal response to eating, present in people with no symptoms at all, and it is why allergy and immunology bodies do not accept IgG as evidence of allergy or intolerance. Treat a high value as a question to test, not an answer.

No. Allergy testing measures IgE, the antibody behind hives, swelling, vomiting and wheeze within minutes of eating, and that is what our Food Allergies 44 panel reads. This panel measures a different antibody class and says nothing about the risk of an immediate reaction.

It cannot, and neither should be assumed from a grain or dairy result here. Coeliac disease is confirmed with its own antibody tests taken while you are still eating gluten, usually with a biopsy, and lactose intolerance is assessed by a breath or tolerance test. Ask your doctor for those directly.

The usual approach is to take the highest-reacting foods you also suspect, remove a small number of them for a few weeks while keeping a symptom diary, then reintroduce them one at a time and watch what returns. The reintroduction is the part that carries the information, not the printed value.

No, and a long exclusion list is the main risk of this kind of testing. People commonly react to the foods they eat most, so following the report literally can strip out staples for no benefit and leave the diet short on protein, calcium, fibre or iron. Remove little, and only with guidance.

Because IgG tracks exposure. Bread, milk, egg, rice and the ingredients in your regular meals meet your immune system constantly, so they often sit at the top of the list. That pattern is expected, and it is one reason the results have to be read against symptoms rather than ranked and obeyed.

Anyone losing weight without trying, passing blood, anaemic, vomiting persistently or unwell with fever, and anyone testing on behalf of a child or during pregnancy. If you have a history of disordered eating, an unsupervised elimination plan can do real harm, so involve your doctor or dietitian from the start.

Bloating, urgency and fatigue often trace to irritable bowel syndrome, fermentable carbohydrates, Helicobacter pylori, an infection or a thyroid problem rather than to a particular food. Your doctor may prefer gut testing first, or run it alongside this panel.

Neither, and the second matters. Fasting makes no difference to the measurement, but foods you have already dropped for weeks can read low through absence rather than tolerance, so the panel is most useful while you are still eating your normal range. Tell your doctor about anything you have recently excluded.

The Food Intolerance Master 220+ is AED 1,499, home sample collection anywhere in Dubai included, with the physician-reviewed Smart Report in 3 – 5 days. The panel runs as our IgG Food Intolerance Panel; if you are weighing it against allergy testing, talk to us first.
