IgG food sensitivities provide a useful guide for personalized rotation/elimination diets with clinical impact associated with a variety of diseases. People may continue to eat offending foods unaware of their potential adverse effects, because symptoms associated with food sensitivities may occur hours or days after the offending food was eaten. MosaicDX’s IgG Food MAP tests measure […]

MosaicDX offers a more comprehensive measurement of total IgG antibodies to different food-based antigens and Candida, in contrast to many laboratories that only measure IgG4 molecules. IgG4 antibodies account for less than 6% of the total IgG antibodies, and testing for only IgG4 antibodies limits the clinician’s ability to identify foods that could cause significant […]
The clinical significance of IgG food testing was illustrated in an early article published by an otolaryngologist who reported that the majority of his patients had substantial health improvements after eliminating foods found positive by IgG food allergy testing. The study demonstrated a 71% success rate for all symptoms, achieving at least a 75% relief. […]
IgG is the major antibody found in serum. IgGs are composed of two fragment antigen binding (Fab) regions that contain the antigen binding sites and the Fc region, which is responsible for most of the biologic activity of the antibodies (Figure 1). An antigen is a substance that causes the immune system to produce an […]
William Shaw, PhD, discusses the clinical utility of IgG food allergy testing, use in creating elimination diets, ELISA test methodology, and total IgG vs. IgG 4. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) food allergy testing has made vast advancements since the year 2003 when the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology published a statement that “Measurement of […]

Delves into immunoglobulins (IgGs) 5 different classes termed G, A, M, E, and D and an explanation of why Total IgG is important vs. IgG4 alone. Immunoglobulins (Igs) consist of 5 different classes termed G, A, M, E, and D. IgG is broken into several subclasses termed 1, 2, 3, and 4. IgGs are composed […]
