What this test reveals
What this test reveals
IgG and IgA food sensitivity panels test your immune system's response to 96–200+ foods, identifying delayed-reaction food sensitivities that are impossible to detect through elimination diets alone.
Unlike food allergies (IgE-mediated, immediate reactions), food sensitivities (IgG/IgA-mediated) cause delayed inflammatory responses 24–72 hours after eating — making them virtually impossible to identify without testing. These hidden sensitivities are a major driver of chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, skin conditions, and digestive issues.
People usually reach for this kind of diagnostic when they want a clearer read on igg antibody reactions to 96–200+ foods, iga antibody reactions (mucosal immune response), complement activation (c3d) for true inflammatory response, especially when symptoms or prior testing still leave blind spots.
Once results are back, you can upload them into Gabriel to connect the findings to symptoms, protocols, and next-step testing instead of leaving them as a static report.
Commonly relevant for: Gut Issues Ibs Sibo Leaky Gut, Autoimmune Disorders, Skin Conditions Eczema Psoriasis.
Gabriel difference
Why this becomes more useful inside Gabriel
Chronic inflammation is the root of most disease, and food is the most common inflammatory trigger we encounter daily. A patient eating 'healthy' foods they're sensitive to can drive autoimmunity, skin flares, and gut damage for years without knowing. Gabriel uses food sensitivity data to design personalized elimination and reintroduction protocols that dramatically reduce systemic inflammation.
Gabriel interprets results through a functional, root-cause lens: optimal ranges, pattern recognition across multiple diagnostics, and what the findings actually mean for action rather than just classification.
That means this test can feed directly into protocols, practitioner matching, food strategy, and follow-up testing instead of ending as a one-off PDF or lab portal result.

Frequently asked questions
Questions people usually ask before ordering
This is genuinely debated. Major allergy organizations like AAAAI say IgG antibodies reflect normal food exposure, not pathology. Functional medicine practitioners argue IgG testing, combined with elimination diets, consistently helps resolve chronic symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and skin issues. Gabriel's position: the test has clinical utility as a guide for elimination diets, not as a standalone diagnosis.
Food allergy tests measure IgE antibodies, which trigger immediate reactions (hives, anaphylaxis, swelling). Food sensitivity tests measure IgG antibodies, which are associated with delayed reactions (hours to days later) causing chronic symptoms like bloating, headaches, brain fog, and joint pain.
Most comprehensive panels test 96 to 250+ foods. The broader panels include common triggers like gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy, plus less obvious ones like specific fruits, nuts, spices, and food additives.
Your practitioner will help you design an elimination diet removing your highest-reactive foods for 4-8 weeks, then systematically reintroduce them one at a time to confirm which ones actually cause symptoms. The goal isn't permanent avoidance but identifying your triggers and healing the gut so you can eventually tolerate more foods.
Typically $200-400 depending on the panel size. At-home finger-stick collection kits are available from several labs. Insurance rarely covers it.
