Typical costs related to IgG Unverträglichkeit Senioren

Costs for IgG food intolerance tests vary widely by provider and panel size (20–100 foods). Typical prices range from €50 to €200, plus shipping. Importantly, major medical societies (e.g., DGE, EAACI) advise against IgG-based testing for diagnosing food intolerances, as elevated IgG levels often reflect normal immune exposure, not intolerance. For seniors, polypharmacy and age-related digestive changes complicate interpretation. Spending money on such tests without medical guidance may lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions and risk of malnutrition. Evidence-based alternatives include symptom diaries and supervised elimination diets. The evidence for IgG testing is weak; costs are often not justified by clinical benefit.
