Food intolerance is not usually life-threatening but can cause unpleasant symptoms. The symptoms of food intolerance can be delayed for many hours or even days and for this reason it is often hard to identify the problem foods.
Some symptoms of intolerances may be caused by an enzyme deficiency or chemical sensitivity, while others involve an immune response associated with raised levels of antibodies to the food concerned. Over time, immune complexes can become deposited in joints and other organs. If symptoms are related to this type of immune response, the detection of food specific IgG antibodies can be helpful.
A number of methods are available for assessing food intolerance. The only method for which reliable scientific data is available is by the measurement of specific IgG antibodies to foods uses in these tests.
