Food IgG Intolerance

Functional Lab Testing, specifically Food IgG Intolerance Testing, is a vital tool in understanding and addressing food sensitivities. Food sensitivities occur when the body reacts adversely to certain foods, often those consumed regularly or even craved. These reactions can manifest in a variety of symptoms.

Research has highlighted the role of IgG antibodies in food sensitivities. While IgG antibodies typically do not cause harm, they can provoke symptoms when the immune or digestive system is not functioning optimally.

Our Food Sensitivity Test is designed to detect food-specific IgG antibodies present in your blood. By identifying these antibodies, individuals and their healthcare providers can pinpoint potential “problem” foods. Armed with this knowledge, tailored dietary and lifestyle interventions can be planned to alleviate symptoms and promote overall wellness.

The diseases and conditions that have been associated with raised levels of food IgG antibodies:

 

  • Inflammatory conditions
  • Joint pain

  • Skin issues – eczema, acne

  • Gastrointestinal : Bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea,

  • Irritable bowel syndrome

  • Weight loss issues, cravings

  • Fatigue / insomnia 

  • Headaches and Migraines

The GI Effects Stool Profiles

The GI Effects Stool Profiles are a suite of advanced stool tests that provide immediate, actionable clinical information for the management of gastrointestinal health. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies and biomarkers, these profiles offer valuable insight into digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome. The overview pages make results interpretation quicker and easier, to prioritize treatment and assess microbiome status.

The GI Effects Stool Profiles can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms and non-GI conditions including:

The health of the entire body is dependent on a healthy gut and gut microbiome. Gut microbes are codependent with one another and with their human host, and the health of one affects the other. A sizeable volume of research associates a dysbiotic, or imbalanced gut microbiome with multiple disease states both within and outside of the GI tract. The diverse metabolic activities of the microbiome ultimately impact the human host, and the activities of the human host ultimately affect the health of their microbiome.

Genova Metabolomix Test

The Metabolomix+ is a unique combination of nutritional tests that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers. A first morning void (FMV) urine collection, with optional add-on bloodspot finger stick and buccal swab, the Metabolomix+ nutritional test is a non-invasive, patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids.

Insights gained from the Metabolomix+ nutritional test allows clinicians to target nutritional therapies to address underlying insufficiencies and promote health and longevity.

What is a functional nutritional assessment?

Genova’s unique approach to nutritional testing begins by assessing our body’s biochemical pathways. Marked accumulation of organic acids in urine can signal a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up, or drug effect. 

Enzymes that are responsible for metabolizing organic acids are vitamin and mineral dependent. With this, elevations in organic acids can reflect a functional need for these nutrients on a cellular and biochemical level, even despite normal serum levels. Recommendations for nutrient supplementation based on elevated organic acid results are generated using a literature-based proprietary algorithm.

  • You experience fatigue, mood swings, or brain fog without clear cause

  • You have a history of poor diet, chronic stress, or high toxin exposure

  • You’re struggling with inflammation, gut issues, or skin problems

  • You want to optimize your health, energy, and longevity

  • You suspect nutrient imbalances or poor absorption

  • You’ve tried multiple approaches but still don’t feel your best

Dutch Test

The Comprehensive Dutch Hormone Test offers unparalleled insights into your hormone health. Designed to provide a holistic understanding of your body’s hormonal balance, this test goes beyond conventional assessments. By analyzing how efficiently your body utilizes hormones and detoxifies excess hormones, we unveil the underlying factors contributing to perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, as well as chronic conditions related to stress, sleep, and fatigue.

What sets our test apart is its comprehensive approach. Not only does it uncover hormone imbalances, but it also sheds light on nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, neurotransmitter levels, and oxidative stress markers. 

Tests include:

  • Adrenal hormones and metabolites
  • Organic acids
  • Sex hormones and metabolites
  • Melatonin
