IgA General Foods Allergy Panel

$340.04 AUD

Experiencing ongoing digestive issues and wondering whether your gut is reacting to commonly eaten foods?

Measures IgA antibody responses to 96 commonly consumed foods from a finger-prick blood spot. IgA reflects gut-level mucosal immune activity, making elevated results potentially relevant for digestive symptoms and intestinal inflammation.

Overview

The IgA General Foods Panel measures IgA antibody responses to 96 commonly eaten foods. IgA antibodies are produced at mucosal surfaces, including the gut lining. Elevated IgA to specific foods may be relevant when investigating digestive symptoms, though elevated levels do not automatically confirm a food is problematic.

This differs from IgE testing (which identifies immediate allergies) and IgG testing (which reflects systemic immune exposure). IgA specifically assesses gut-level immune reactivity.

The panel suits people with digestive symptoms that may relate to food triggers, those investigating causes of gut inflammation, and anyone wanting mucosal-focused food sensitivity assessment to guide discussions with their healthcare provider.

Symptoms

Suited for people with digestive symptoms, those investigating gut-level food reactions, or anyone wanting IgA-based food sensitivity assessment to discuss with their practitioner.

Questions

  • IgE tests identify immediate allergic reactions. IgA testing measures gut-level immune responses that may relate to delayed symptoms and intestinal inflammation.
  • Gut inflammation can have systemic effects. However, IgA specifically reflects mucosal immunity, so digestive symptoms are the primary focus of this test.
  • A period of 4 to 6 weeks is common to allow gut healing and symptom assessment. Systematic reintroduction then helps identify true sensitivities versus temporary reactions.
  • Multiple reactions often indicate underlying gut dysfunction rather than true sensitivity to all flagged foods. Addressing gut health may reduce overall reactivity.
  • Yes. With gut healing and temporary elimination, many sensitivities may resolve. Some may persist. Retesting after 6 to 12 months can help assess progress.
  • This depends on your symptoms and clinical context. IgA focuses on gut-level reactions, IgG reflects systemic exposure. Your practitioner can advise which approach suits your situation.

How to prepare

No fasting required. Continue eating your normal diet so the test reflects your current food exposures. Avoid antihistamines for 48 hours before collection. Collect the blood spot sample using the provided allergy card and post it back promptly.

After the test

Discuss your results with a healthcare provider experienced in food sensitivity assessment. A supervised elimination of high-reactive foods for 4 to 6 weeks, followed by systematic reintroduction, is a common approach to identifying true triggers. If many foods show elevated IgA, your provider may also investigate underlying gut health.

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 the 96 foods tested, categorised as normal, borderline, or elevated. Elevated IgA suggests your gut's immune system has responded to those foods, but does not confirm they are causing your symptoms. Multiple elevated results may reflect underlying gut dysfunction rather than true sensitivity to every flagged food. Discuss your results with a healthcare provider.

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.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"
