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.
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.
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.
What this means
Your IgG antibody levels to green beans are elevated, suggesting your immune system is reacting to this food. This delayed immune response may be contributing to digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, or discomfort, as well as other issues like fatigue or inflammation that occur hours after eating.
Recommended actions
Try eliminating green beans and string beans from your diet for 4-6 weeks to see if symptoms improve
Keep a food diary to track symptoms and identify other potential trigger foods
Focus on gut-healing foods like bone broth, fermented vegetables, and probiotic-rich foods
Retest IgG levels in 6-12 months after elimination to see if antibodies have decreased
