This study assessed the effect of an IgG-mediated food sensitivity test in combination with a food elimination diet on body composition and secondary outcomes in people who were overweight.
This study looked at foods that stimulated IgG food antibody production, which may play a role in certain conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, type I diabetes, and migraine headaches. Using a proprietary blood test, the Immuno Bloodprint, to determine which foods stimulate IgG food antibodies in each person, this study detailed a personalized list of reactive foods that stimulated such antibodies for each participant. The participant was then advised to eliminate as much as possible the reactive foods for 90 days.
