What is the IgG Food Sensitivity Test? IgG Food sensitivity testing is a test that we run here at Docere Naturopathic Clinic on a weekly basis. Many patients come in looking for answers to their digestive concerns. They recognize that there are offending foods but are having trouble pin pointing their exact food sensitivities, or are too busy or overwhelmed to follow an elimination type diet. This test makes sense for them – once they have a road map in hand it can be much easier to navigate food. And once the offending foods are removed we can help heal their digestive tract and improve their symptoms.

As an ND I am often asked about food allergies and food sensitivities in practice.  What is important is to help patients understand the difference between food allergies and sensitivities and how they are affecting their health. Food Allergy – IgE reaction – Immediate These are the reactions diagnosed with a skin prick test.  The reaction is quick and can be life threatening in the case of anaphylaxis.  Other common reactions include hives, eczema, breathing and digestive problems. Because they are immediate they are much easier to diagnose. Allergen → Body releases IgE → Triggers release of histamine → Allergic reaction Food Sensitivity – IgG reaction – Delayed reaction can take 24-72 hours to develop In food sensitivities, the body is exposed to an allergen and releases IgG antibodies which...

Absolutely! A healthy diet includes eating breakfast each morning, preferably within 1 hour of waking! People who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to: Consume more vitamins and minerals, and less fat and cholesterol in their diet (1) Have better concentration and productivity throughout the morning Have better control of their weight Lower their risk of coronary heart disease (2) Don’t currently eat breakfast? I encourage you to start.  Here are a few tips that may help: No appetite? Try a cup of warm lemon water first thing upon rising.  This will prepare your digestive system for your next meal.  When your body is primed, your appetite will follow. Start small. Once your body grows accustomed to eating breakfast again, your appetite will return. No time? Prepare food the night...
