Mosaic Diagnostics’ IgG Food MAP Profile Helped Monica Discover the Source of Her Digestive Discomfort

Patient Opportunity

Monica is a 42-year-old woman with digestive discomfort.
Over the past 4 years, she has consulted doctors from
various specialties and undergone laboratory tests,
ultrasounds, and endoscopies with no answers. The detail
that made the difference was that her nutritionist advised
her to consume 4 or more eggs daily as a source of protein,
which Monica had been doing for over 5 years. It was
suspected that the excess and monotony of a specific food—
namely, eggs—might be causing her issues. MosaicDX’s IgG
Food MAP test revealed HIGH CLEAR EGGS.

Approach

I chose MosaicDX’s IgG Food MAP test because I wanted
to evaluate the patient’s immunological response to her
symptoms, particularly given her high consumption of highly
allergenic protein such as ovalbumin and ovomucoid, which
were the primary suspects. With the test results in hand,
Monica consulted with a sports nutritionist to ensure she
still received enough protein, given her high level of physical
activity. It was decided that she should eliminate eggs for 21
days, then gradually reintroduce them, consuming them in
moderation as part of a balanced Mediterranean-style diet.

Results

The patient reported that her symptoms completely resolved:
her headaches ceased, her daily bowel movements improved,
the abdominal distension fully disappeared, and she no longer
experienced fatigue.
