IgG Food Sensitivity is a delayed onset food-mediated immune response. Under normal circumstances, healthy GI tract’s cells are connected tightly, forming a strong barrier. However, this gut barrier becomes permeable in certain situations. Substances can leak through the gut wall and lead to inflammatory responses which result in the production of IgG antibodies against the food particles. Common symptoms include: itchy skin, frequent diarrhea, muscle pain, migraine etc. The symptoms caused by this delayed onset immune response may take hours to days to develop, and it is difficult to pinpoint what “hidden ingredient” is causing the symptoms.

Immediate Onset
Food Allergy (IgE)
Cause
The immune system can mistaken the common substances for invaders and cause series of inflammations
Mediators
IgE antibodies
Onset of symptoms
Within minutes or up to two hours
Symptoms
Symptoms are acute and apparent (e.g. skin rashes, runny nose, sneezing) Relatively easy to track the culprits
Delayed Onset
Food Sensitivity (IgG)
Cause
The immune system can mistaken the common substances for invaders and cause series of inflammations
Mediators
IgG antibodies
Onset of symptoms
Within hours to days
Symptoms
Symptoms are delayed and subtle (e.g. bloating, migraine, tiredness) Hard to track the culprits
- 1. An inadequate diet can lead to malnutrition
- 2. Oereating may also cause serious adverse reactions and even death
- **If you continue to experience two or more symptoms in the past 30 days, it is likely that you have delayed onset food sensitivity!**
