Common mistakes around IgG Unverträglichkeit Frauen

Common mistakes around IgG intolerance testing in women: Many women assume a positive IgG test proves a true food intolerance or allergy. In reality, IgG antibodies merely reflect immune exposure to foods—often a normal tolerance response, not an intolerance. IgG levels can rise simply from frequent consumption of a food, without causing symptoms. Another mistake is believing the test detects allergies (IgE-mediated); it does not. Furthermore, the evidence for IgG-based elimination diets is weak. Women often remove many foods based on these results, leading to nutrient deficiencies, social restrictions, and unnecessary anxiety. Tests are frequently taken without medical guidance, and results are overinterpreted. Clinically validated methods like lactose or fructose breath tests or a physician-supervised elimination diet are more reliable. MyBody-X does not offer IgG tests; its tests focus on hormones, microbiome, and nutrigenetics. If a food intolerance is suspected, consult a doctor for proper diagnosis.
