Food Reactions

The article claims eliminating identified food sensitivities most rapidly improves depression and anxiety, followed by digestive and cognitive symptoms. IgG and IgA antibodies against food are framed as food immune reactivity rather than true allergy. Food sensitivities are distinguished from IgE-mediated food allergies. Eggs may be beneficial for some people but trigger symptoms in others. Food sensitivities are distinguished from immediate IgE-mediated food allergies. Food antibody test accuracy depends on the purity of antigens used in assay development. The FIT 176 test evaluates 176 foods and additives through IgG and C3D pathways. The article states that testing is the only reliable method to identify food sensitivities clinically. Equal extract volumes across food antigens can create invalid comparisons because foods differ in protein density. The article says C3D testing detects active inflammation beyond antibody presence alone. Roughly 10% of the US population has true IgE-mediated food allergies. Approximately one-third of the US population has some food reaction, though this figure is likely an underestimate due to the absence of agreed-upon diagnostic criteria. Food i…
