What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing digestive issues, headaches, skin reactions, or other unexplained symptoms that seem to happen after drinking coffee. It measures your immune system's IgG response to coffee proteins, which can help identify if your body has developed a sensitivity or intolerance to coffee. Many people use this test when they suspect coffee might be causing their symptoms but want concrete answers before giving up their daily cup.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your IgG response to coffee means for your digestive health and overall wellness. These notes include personalized recommendations like elimination diet guidance, alternative beverage suggestions, or ways to reduce symptoms if you continue drinking coffee. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your antibody levels over time using our trends feature to see if your sensitivity improves with dietary changes.

What's included in this test?

This test measures your IgG antibody levels specifically to coffee proteins (allergen f221). IgG antibodies are part of your immune system's delayed response, and elevated levels can indicate a food sensitivity that may be contributing to chronic digestive discomfort, inflammation, or other persistent symptoms. This measurement helps identify whether your body is mounting an immune response to coffee consumption.

When will I get my results?

Most results are typically available within 3-5 business days after your sample reaches the lab. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account. Complex antibody tests like IgG food sensitivity panels may occasionally take a bit longer to process than standard blood work.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for anyone who experiences digestive issues like bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort after drinking coffee, or who has unexplained symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or skin problems that might be diet-related. It's also helpful for people with known food sensitivities who want to identify if coffee is a trigger, or anyone considering an elimination diet who wants data-driven guidance on what foods to avoid.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms that may indicate coffee sensitivity include digestive issues like bloating, gas, diarrhea, or stomach pain after drinking coffee. You might also experience headaches, fatigue, brain fog, skin rashes, joint pain, or general inflammation. If you notice these symptoms consistently after coffee consumption but they're not immediate allergic reactions, an IgG test can help identify if coffee is contributing to these delayed responses.

What does it mean if my IgG antibodies to coffee are high?

Elevated IgG antibodies to coffee suggest your immune system is reacting to coffee proteins, which can trigger inflammation and various symptoms like digestive discomfort, headaches, or fatigue. This doesn't mean you have a true coffee allergy, but rather a sensitivity or intolerance that may be contributing to chronic symptoms. Many people find their symptoms improve significantly when they eliminate or reduce coffee intake for several weeks.

How can I reduce coffee sensitivity naturally?

Start with a complete elimination of coffee for 4-6 weeks to allow your immune system to calm down and your gut to heal. Support gut health with probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables, and consider a high-quality probiotic supplement. After the elimination period, you might try reintroducing coffee slowly to see if symptoms return, or explore low-acid coffee alternatives and limit intake to small amounts if you do continue drinking it.

What is IgG food sensitivity testing and why does it matter?

IgG food sensitivity testing measures delayed immune reactions to specific foods, which are different from immediate IgE allergic reactions. While IgE allergies cause quick symptoms like hives or anaphylaxis, IgG reactions can take hours or days to appear, making them harder to identify without testing. Understanding your IgG responses helps pinpoint foods that may be causing chronic inflammation, digestive issues, or other persistent symptoms that affect your daily quality of life.

How often should I retest my coffee IgG levels?

If you have elevated IgG levels to coffee and eliminate it from your diet, consider retesting after 3-6 months to see if your antibody levels have decreased. Many people find their sensitivities improve after prolonged elimination and gut healing, potentially allowing them to reintroduce small amounts of coffee later. If your initial test shows normal levels but symptoms persist, you might retest annually or focus on testing other potential food triggers instead.
