What is the difference between the FOOD REACTION TEST and the FOOD ALLERGIES TEST?

A food sensitivity can take various forms.

In the case of an allergy, the body perceives substances that are actually harmless, such as food or pollen, as disturbing foreign bodies and forms defence substances called antibodies.
These antibodies are also called immunoglobulins, of which there are different forms: Immunoglobulin A, E, D, M or G.
Classical allergy is mediated by the formation of class E immunoglobulins.
These antibodies are then called IgE antibodies and are analysed in our FOOD ALLERGIES TEST.
If an allergy exists, immediate symptoms such as swollen and irritated mucous membranes, watery eyes, sneezing or asthma attacks and itching occur.

The FOOD REACTION TEST is a sensitivity test that analyses the concentration of the immunoglobulin IgG4 in relation to 95 common foods.
This means that you find out whether and to which foods your immune system reacts with IgG4 antibodies and how strongly. The body can create antibodies as soon as food is ingested. However, it is assumed that certain symptoms such as fatigue, water retention and a bloated belly are triggered by an increased number of IgG4 antibodies.
Many cases in practice show improvement in non-specific symptoms by temporarily avoiding the foods identified as intolerable.
