The Benefit of Food Sensitivity (IgG) Blood Testing For Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue

Forsyth County, Alpharetta-Cumming Chiropractor and Chronic Pain-Fibromyalgia Doctor Comments:

300px-Cheese_platterI’ve been treating chronic pain, chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia for the past 17 years here at South Forsyth Chiropractic in the Alpharetta-Cumming area Food Sensitivity Blood Testing has always been part of my recommended action plan.

I found a great article from Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia & Environmental Illness, Burton Goldberg, 1998; that explains the importance of this testing.

Here’s an excerpt:

Most allergy testing only measures the presence of IgE (immunoglobulin E antibodies), while most food allergies are dealt with in the body by the IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibodies. 

The igG ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay) test offers new hope for food allergy sufferers.  It is currently the only commercially available test of its kind of delayed food allergies.

“We know that one of the fundamental causes behind food allergies is the penetration of undigested or partially digested food from the digestive tract into the bloodstream,” explains James Braly, M.D., medical director of Immuno Laboratories in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 

“With the IgG Elisa test, we can measure the actual presence of specific foods and their specific IgG antibodies in the blood to precisely determine which foods a person is allergic to.”

Convenient and automated, the IgG ELISA test involves computer analysis of a blood sample for the presence of IgG antibodies against over 100 foods. 

The test can be done through the mail, as long as the samples reach testing within 72 hours after the blood is drawn. Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia & Environmental Illness, Burton Goldberg, 1998. 

My Take:  The food sensitivity IgG blood test has always been a powerful diagnostic tool for my tough Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, ADD, headache, migraine and sinusitis cases.  I have the blood kits at my office and I refer my patients to the lab down the street.  The lab draws the blood and ships it to the main lab in Mass. where they run the “scores”. In return, I recieve a nice booklet with the patient’s results including what foods to avoid. 

The good news… whatever food you must avoid, they only recommended that you avoid that food for just a couple of months… so it’s not a big change in your eating habits. 

Hint: It’s usually your favorite food (ie: milk, peanut butter, cheese, chicken, etc.) that shows as a positive score.
