Evidence check: IgG Unverträglichkeitstest in the context of Wechseljahre

IgG food intolerance tests are marketed for digestive issues and general malaise, including during menopause. However, the scientific evidence is weak: IgG antibodies to foods are often a normal immune response, not a true intolerance. Studies show no reliable link between IgG levels and menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, or weight gain. Menopause is primarily hormonal (declining estrogen, progesterone). An IgG test can lead to unnecessary, potentially harmful dietary restrictions without addressing the root cause. MyBody-X offers intolerance tests, but the evidence is marketing/unclear. For menopause, hormone assessments (e.g., MyBody-X Menopause Check measuring estradiol, progesterone, FSH) and medical guidance are more relevant. Caveat: No clinical validation for this context; always consult a doctor before dietary changes.
