Who should take the test?

Our immune system reacts to foods that are actually harmless, as if they were dangerous and it fights them. Most allergic reactions occur immediately after eating. One therefore speaks of an immediate type reaction. With our Food Allergy Test & IgG4 Screening, we examine foods that can trigger various symptoms.

The Food Allergy Test (IGE) analyzes the following allergens:

• Meat mix (beef, pork, chicken, lamb)
• Egg white
• Codfish, salmon
• Shrimp, crayfish
• Cow’s milk, soy, mustard seeds
• Wheat, rice, potato
• Hazelnut, peanut, almond
• Apple, orange, strawberry
• Kiwi, peach
• Tomato, carrot, celeriac

The IgG4 screening analyzes the following allergens:

• Beef, pork, lamb meat
• Chicken, turkey
• Egg white, egg yolk
• Codfish, salmon, tuna, shrimp
• Cow’s milk, casein
• Wheat, spelt, rye
• Oats, rice, gluten
• Baker’s yeast, soy
• Peanut, walnut, hazelnut, almond
• Potato, tomato, carrot, onion, celeriac
• Apple, banana, kiwi
• Strawberry, peach, orange
• Coffee, black pepper, mustard seeds, sesame

With our Food Allergy (IgE) Test & IgG4 Screening, you can find out which foods your body is reacting to. You will receive a diet rotation plan, through which you can optimize your diet individually and thus counteract inflammatory processes in the intestine.

How does it work?

You take the samples at home, send them back to us and we will send you your result with information on how strongly your body reacts to the respective food. You can see this on a scale from 1 to 6. Grades 1 and 2 indicate a minimal to weak reaction, grades 3 and 4 indicate a slight to moderate reaction and grades 5 and 6 indicate a strong reaction.

What will my results tell me?

Your findings contain detailed information about your body’s reaction to the above allergens and whether this reaction is minimal, weak, mild to moderate, or strong. You can then discuss these results with your doctor or alternative practitioner, who can advise you on how to proceed and on the various therapy options.

What guidance will I get along with my results?

We always recommend the discussion of the mailed results with your doctor or practitioner. Besides, further information is available on our website, especially in the different test categories, under “health conditions” and the FAQs.
