What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing digestive discomfort, bloating, or fatigue after eating green beans or string beans. It measures your body's IgG immune response to these specific foods, which can indicate a food sensitivity that may be contributing to ongoing symptoms like gas, stomach pain, or low energy. Many people use this test when they suspect certain foods are causing problems but aren't sure which ones.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your IgG levels mean and how they relate to your symptoms. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary modifications, elimination strategies, or food reintroduction protocols. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your IgG levels over time using our trends feature to see how dietary changes impact your immune response.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Allergen Specific IgG for Bean Green/String. This test measures your IgG antibody levels specific to green beans and string beans. IgG antibodies are part of your immune system's delayed response to foods, which can cause symptoms hours or even days after eating. Elevated IgG levels may indicate that your body is reacting to this food, potentially contributing to digestive issues, inflammation, or other chronic symptoms that are hard to pinpoint.

How should I prepare for this test?

For the most accurate results, continue eating your normal diet including green beans if you regularly consume them. Avoiding the food before testing may reduce antibody levels and lead to false negatives. There's typically no fasting required for IgG food sensitivity testing. You can take your regular medications unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

When will I get my results?

Most IgG food sensitivity test results are available within 5-7 business days after your blood sample reaches the laboratory. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready to view in your secure online account. Complex cases or high testing volumes may occasionally extend this timeframe slightly.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is particularly useful for people who experience ongoing digestive issues like bloating, gas, or irregular bowel movements that don't have an obvious cause. It's also helpful for those with unexplained fatigue, skin issues, or inflammatory symptoms that may be food-related. If you've noticed symptoms after eating beans or legumes but allergy tests have been negative, IgG testing can provide additional insights.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms that may indicate a green bean sensitivity include bloating or gas within hours of eating, stomach discomfort or cramping, changes in bowel habits, or feeling unusually tired after meals. Some people also experience headaches, skin irritation, or joint discomfort related to food sensitivities. If these symptoms occur regularly and you eat beans frequently, this test can help identify if they're the culprit.

How can I naturally support my digestive health if I have a food sensitivity?

If you identify a food sensitivity, temporarily eliminating the trigger food for 4-6 weeks can help your gut heal and reduce inflammation. During this time, focus on gut-supporting foods like bone broth, fermented foods, and plenty of vegetables. Taking probiotics, managing stress, and staying hydrated can also support digestive healing. After the elimination period, you may be able to slowly reintroduce the food in small amounts.

What does elevated IgG to green beans mean?

Elevated IgG antibodies to green beans suggest that your immune system is mounting a response to this food, which may indicate a food sensitivity or intolerance. Unlike immediate IgE allergies, IgG reactions are delayed and can cause subtle, chronic symptoms that are hard to connect to specific foods. High IgG levels don't necessarily mean you need to avoid the food forever, but temporary elimination may help reduce symptoms.

How often should I retest my food sensitivities?

If you've eliminated a trigger food and made dietary changes, retesting after 6-12 months can show whether your IgG levels have decreased. Many people find that after giving their gut time to heal, they can reintroduce previously problematic foods in moderation. If symptoms return or you're trying to reintroduce foods, retesting can provide objective data to guide your decisions.
