Food Detective
Food Detective
Navigating the complexities of food sensitivities is a significant challenge for
health professionals. Food Detective® emerges as a vital tool in this journey,
offering a sophisticated, semi-quantitative immunoassay for the detection of
food-specific IgG antibodies.
This innovative test is designed for convenience and ease, allowing it to be used
directly in the clinic of a health professional without the need to send samples to
a testing laboratory.
The Role of Food Detective® in Managing Food Sensitivity
Food Detective® is an ELISA-based test which can be carried out by a qualified
healthcare practitioner in clinic. It identifies elevated IgG antibody levels to 59
commonly eaten foods. These antibodies can lead to a build-up of immune complexes in
the body which provoke an inflammatory response and can manifest in a range of
symptoms.
The results of a Food Detective® test are then used to guide an elimination diet. By
identifying foods that trigger an elevated IgG antibody response, it helps in
pinpointing what foods might be provoking symptoms and should be eliminated for a
short period of time. This approach is more efficient than the traditional
trial-and-error method, providing a clear path towards identifying and managing food
sensitivities.
