Can IgG Unverträglichkeitstest help with allergy?

IgG food intolerance tests are often marketed to help with allergies or intolerances, but the scientific consensus is clear: IgG antibodies to foods are a normal immune response indicating exposure, not necessarily intolerance or allergy. For diagnosing true allergies, IgE testing is the gold standard. Professional guidelines (e.g., EAACI) advise against using IgG tests for allergy diagnosis because they lack specificity and can lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions. A positive IgG result does not mean you are allergic or intolerant; it may simply reflect regular consumption. Eliminating foods based solely on IgG can cause nutritional deficiencies. If you have taken such a test, consult an allergist or dietitian before making changes. MyBody-X's allergy test detects IgE, not IgG – an important distinction. Evidence: practice guidelines.
