What to watch with IgG Unverträglichkeitstest and Wechseljahre?

IgG food intolerance tests are not recommended by medical societies (e.g., DGAUM, EAACI). They detect IgG antibodies to foods, which are often a normal immune response and do not indicate intolerance. During menopause, hormonal shifts (declining estrogen) can cause digestive issues, bloating, or weight changes – but IgG tests are not a valid tool to address these. Instead, focus on a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and phytoestrogens. IgG tests may lead to unnecessary food restrictions and nutrient deficiencies. A better approach includes routine blood work (CBC, thyroid, vitamins) and possibly hormone testing. Evidence: marketing/unclear. Sources: none directly in context; general guidelines advise against IgG testing.
