Food sensitivities can be associated with a wide variety of symptoms related to digestion, mood, hormones, energy, brain fog, headaches, skin problems, joint pain, and can play a role in many chronic conditions. Eliminating foods that trigger an IgG food sensitivity can decrease inflammation, reduce stress on the immune system, and help resolve intestinal permeability. Symptoms associated with food sensitivities may take hours or even days to present because IgG antibodies remain present for much longer than IgE antibodies. This makes it difficult to identify the offending foods. The benefit of IgG testing is to determine which foods are contributing to symptoms much more quickly than eliminating and reintroducing each suspect food over an extended period of time. The 93 foods with Candida include most classes of potentially problematic foods.Â
