Can IgG Unverträglichkeitstest help with Wechseljahre?

There is no scientific evidence that an IgG food intolerance test can help with menopause symptoms. IgG antibodies to foods are a normal immune response and do not indicate allergy or intolerance. Major medical societies (e.g., DGAKI, EAACI) strongly advise against IgG-based tests for diagnosing food sensitivities due to lack of validation and high risk of false positives. Menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, and mood changes are driven by hormonal shifts (declining estrogen), not by food-specific IgG reactions. Some commercial tests market themselves as 'menopause checks' by including hormone markers, but the IgG component remains unproven. No randomized controlled trials support the use of IgG testing for menopausal complaints. Women experiencing menopause should seek clinical hormone assessment (FSH, estradiol) and evidence-based interventions such as hormone therapy or lifestyle modifications. Relying on IgG tests may lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions and nutritional deficiencies without any benefit for menopause symptoms.
