More Supporting Studies:
Skin, Breathing & Digestion (2019)
312 patients who were experiencing either Skin, Respiratory, Digestive and Nervous System issues were tested for 14 foods using the IgG food sensitivity methodology.
The highest sensitivity rates were found in crab, followed by shrimp, eggs and milk.
We have also seen numerous patients improve with symptoms in these areas after Food Allergy Testing.
Skin, Breathing and Digestion commonly improve after Sensitivity & Allergy testing
MS (2023)
A 2023 study looked at prevalence of Food Sensitivity among patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
This group screened 35 patients with MS and 20 healthy controls for their IgG reactivity against an array of animal-sourced milk, plant-based alternatives as well as individual antigens from cow's milk.
Cow, goat, sheep, A2 milk, coconut, cashew, almond, hazelnut and oat milk were studied.
The MS patients exhibited a significantly higher IgG response to cow milk and goat milk compared to healthy donors, with cow's milk being higher likely related to more reactivity to A1 beta-casein.
Correlation data indicated the co-existence of antibodies to individual bovine milk antigens and their corresponding cross-reactive CNS antigens.
Working with diet is an important cornerstone technique that we use with our MS patients
Crohn's (2024)
A 2024 observational study looked at prevalence of Food Sensitivity among patients with Crohn's Disease.
Ninety six patients with Crohn's were tested for IgG antibodies and their association small bowel inflammation.
81.3% of Crohn's patients were detected positive for at least one food-specific antibody. The five most prevalent antibodies were tomato, egg, corn, rice, and soybean.
Patients with small intestine inflammation had a higher positive rate of food IgG antibodies and more IgG-positive food items with egg, corn and wheat as the top reactors.
The authors concluded "Our study confirmed that Crohn's patients with small bowel inflammation had a higher positive rate of food IgG antibodies."
Many patients with Crohn's benefit substantially after undergoing Food Sensitivity Testing
