IgA 144 Super Food Panel

$441.68 AUD

Digestive symptoms, suspected food sensitivities, or conditions like IBD where gut-level immune reactions to foods may be relevant?

Tests IgA antibody reactions to 144 foods, identifying immune responses occurring at mucosal surfaces like the gut lining. IgA elevation to specific foods may indicate gut inflammation or compromised intestinal barrier function.

Overview

The IgA 144 Super Food Panel measures IgA antibody responses to 144 foods. IgA antibodies are produced primarily at mucosal surfaces including your gut lining, making this test relevant for assessing gut-level immune reactions to foods.

Elevated IgA to specific foods may indicate intestinal inflammation, compromised gut barrier function, or ongoing immune activation at mucosal surfaces. This differs from IgG testing, which reflects systemic immune exposure rather than gut-specific reactions.

This test suits Australians with digestive symptoms potentially related to food triggers, those with inflammatory bowel conditions, and anyone wanting comprehensive assessment of gut-level food immune responses.

Symptoms

Essential for people with digestive symptoms, suspected gut-level food reactions, inflammatory bowel conditions, or comprehensive food sensitivity assessment.

Questions

  • IgA antibodies are produced at mucosal surfaces. Elevated IgA to specific foods suggests your gut's immune system is reacting to those foods, potentially indicating intestinal inflammation.
  • IgA reflects gut-specific immune responses at mucosal surfaces. IgG reflects systemic immune exposure. Different clinical contexts may warrant different testing approaches.
  • Often yes. Addressing gut inflammation, removing trigger foods temporarily, and supporting intestinal healing may reduce IgA reactivity over time.
  • Comprehensive testing identifies reactions to less common foods that basic panels miss. Some sensitivities involve foods you'd never suspect.
  • Work with a practitioner to prioritize elimination based on reactivity level and your specific symptoms. Eliminating too many foods at once can be nutritionally problematic.
  • Multiple reactions often indicate underlying gut dysfunction rather than true sensitivity to all those foods. Addressing gut health may reduce overall reactivity.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Continue normal diet for accurate assessment of current food sensitivities. Avoid antihistamines for 48 hours before testing as they may affect results. Collect blood spot sample using provided allergy card according to instructions and ship promptly.

After the test

Implement elimination diet removing high-reactive foods for 4-6 weeks, then systematically reintroduce to identify true triggers. Focus on gut healing with appropriate supplements and anti-inflammatory protocols. Consider working with healthcare providers experienced in food sensitivity management and gut health restoration.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show IgA antibody levels for each of 144 foods tested, categorized as normal, borderline, or elevated reactions. Elevated IgA indicates potential food sensitivities requiring elimination or rotation. Comprehensive report guides personalized elimination diet planning and gut healing protocols.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.
