MyBody-X angle on Gluten Test

MyBody-X's angle on gluten testing requires careful scrutiny. Most commercial gluten tests measure IgG antibodies against gluten. However, IgG is a normal antibody produced after eating gluten; it merely reflects exposure, not intolerance or allergy. Major allergy and immunology societies (AAAAI, EAACI, ACG) explicitly recommend against IgG food panels due to lack of clinical validity. For celiac disease, the gold standard is IgA tTG testing followed by biopsy. For non-celiac gluten sensitivity, no validated biomarker exists. MyBody-X should transparently state that IgG gluten tests cannot diagnose any condition and have a high false-positive rate (up to 95% of healthy individuals test positive). The evidence is strong against using such tests. Consumers should not rely on these results and should consult a physician for genuine symptoms.
