Overview

The IgG Vegetarian Foods Panel measures IgG antibody levels to 96 plant-based foods. Vegetarian diets concentrate on specific proteins—legumes, grains, nuts, seeds—that may show elevated IgG due to frequent consumption.

Important context: IgG presence indicates immune exposure, not necessarily adverse reactions. High levels often appear to frequently consumed, well-tolerated foods. Major medical organisations advise against using IgG results as standalone diagnosis, available across Australia.

Results may guide supervised elimination trials with practitioners who incorporate IgG data. Confirm suspected sensitivities through elimination-and-challenge protocols rather than restricting based on test results alone.

Symptoms

For vegetarians wanting immune exposure mapping to guide supervised elimination protocols with their healthcare provider.

Questions

  • Vegetarian diets rely on specific plant proteins consumed frequently. Specialised testing covers these staples comprehensively.
  • No. High IgG indicates exposure, not necessarily harm. Most vegetarians can identify specific triggers while maintaining plant-based nutrition.
  • Yes. Frequently consumed foods often show higher IgG regardless of whether they cause symptoms. This is normal immune surveillance.
  • Work with practitioners to ensure adequate protein from plant sources not being tested. Avoid eliminating too many foods simultaneously.
  • Legumes show IgG elevation in many vegetarians due to frequent consumption. This doesn't necessarily indicate intolerance—elimination trials clarify significance.
  • No. IgG results require clinical context and should guide supervised protocols, not self-directed elimination.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Continue normal vegetarian diet for accurate assessment of current systemic 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 targeted elimination of high-reactive plant foods for 4-6 weeks while maintaining nutritional balance with alternative vegetarian protein and nutrient sources. Focus on anti-inflammatory protocols and systemic healing support. Systematically reintroduce foods to identify true triggers. Consider working with plant-based nutrition specialists.

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 IgG antibody levels for each of 96 vegetarian foods tested, categorized as normal, borderline, or elevated reactions. Elevated IgG indicates potential systemic sensitivities to specific plant foods requiring elimination or rotation. Vegetarian-specific dietary modification recommendations provided.

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.
