At our clinic, we use advanced laboratory testing to help uncover hidden food sensitivities that may be contributing to symptoms like bloating, fatigue, headaches, skin issues, digestive upset, mood changes, and more.

The food sensitivity test we offer is a comprehensive blood test that measures your immune system’s IgG antibody response to a wide variety of foods, herbs, spices, and even candida/yeast.

What Is the IgG Food MAP with Candida & Yeast Test?

This test analyzes your IgG antibody levels in response to over 190 common foods found in Western, Asian, and Mediterranean diets. It also includes candida and yeast markers to provide more insight into gastrointestinal immune reactions.

Unlike traditional allergy tests (which look for IgE reactions and immediate responses), IgG food sensitivity testing can help reveal delayed immune responses that may trigger symptoms hours or days after eating certain foods.

We perform a standard blood draw right here in the clinic to ensure we collect an adequate sample with minimal discomfort. The sample is then mailed to a lab for processing.

Why You Might Benefit from Food Sensitivity Testing

If you’ve been experiencing ongoing or unexplained health complaints such as:

  • Digestive issues (gas, bloating, diarrhea, IBS)
  • Skin problems (eczema, rashes, itching)
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Fatigue or mood changes
  • Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
  • Weight fluctuations or craving patterns

This food sensitivity testing can give you actionable insights for personalized dietary planning.

How the testing process works

  • 1. Blood Draw in Clinic

    We perform a simple venous blood draw; less painful and more comfortable than a finger stick.

  • 2. Professional Lab Analysis

    Your sample is sent to a diagnostic lab, where advanced laboratory technology measures your IgG antibody responses and provides a detailed report of foods with higher reactivity.

  • 3. Personalized Result Interpretation

    Once results are ready (typically within a few business days), we go over the findings together. We’ll explain which foods showed higher IgG responses and help you interpret those results in the context of your symptoms and health goals.

  • 4. Diet Strategy & Support

    Using your test results, we create a customized diet and care plan designed to reduce inflammation and improve your symptoms.

What You’ll Get from Your Report

The IgG Food MAP report includes:

  • A food sensitivity profile showing reactivity to specific foods, herbs, and spices
  • Category summaries (e.g., dairy, vegetables, fruits, seafood)
  • Guidance for elimination and rotation diet planning
  • Additional candida/yeast antibody insights

We will review each section with you so you understand what it means and how it relates to your health.

Why We Offer This Test

Our clinical philosophy is rooted in functional medicine and personalized care. Instead of guessing which foods may be causing discomfort, we use targeted testing to support:

  • Faster symptom resolution
  • Tailored nutrition planning
  • Improved gut health & immune balance
  • Long-term sustainable wellness

This testing is a tool, and works best when combined with lifestyle guidance, clinical evaluation, and dietary support.
