Can IgG Unverträglichkeitstest help with menopause?
T
TIKKI knowledge answer
IgG food intolerance tests are often marketed to help with symptoms like bloating, fatigue, or headaches, including during menopause. However, there is no robust scientific evidence that these tests are useful for menopausal complaints. Menopause is primarily hormonal, and IgG tests measure immune responses to foods that are often normal and not indicative of intolerance. Major medical societies (e.g., EAACI, AAAAI) advise against using IgG tests for diagnosing food intolerances. The evidence level is marketing/unclear. While some individuals may report subjective improvement after eliminating foods based on IgG results, this is likely due to placebo or nonspecific dietary changes. For menopause management, evidence-based approaches include hormone therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted supplements like calcium/vitamin D. Relying on IgG tests may lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions and costs without proven benefit.
