What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing digestive upset, bloating, skin reactions, or other unexplained symptoms after eating eggs or egg-containing foods. It measures your immune system's IgG antibody response to egg yolk protein, which can help you figure out if egg yolk might be a trigger for your symptoms. It's a helpful tool if you're trying to narrow down foods that may be causing you ongoing discomfort.

How should I prepare for this test?

How can I naturally support digestion if I have an egg sensitivity? Focus on easily digestible whole foods like cooked vegetables, lean proteins, and bone broth while you avoid egg yolk. Adding probiotic-rich foods like yogurt or kefir (if tolerated) and staying well hydrated can help support your gut while it recovers. Some people also find ginger tea or peppermint helpful for calming digestive discomfort during an elimination period.

What's included in this test?

This test measures IgG antibodies specifically targeted to egg yolk protein. IgG antibodies reflect a slower, delayed immune response, which is different from the immediate allergic reaction some people have to foods, so this test is useful for spotting sensitivities that cause symptoms hours or days after eating.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account along with an explanation of what a normal versus elevated IgG level means for egg yolk. If your level is elevated, a simple next step is to try removing egg yolk from your diet for a few weeks and see if your symptoms improve, then reintroduce it slowly to confirm the connection. Your standard lab report is downloadable anytime from your account, and you can track your levels over time using the trends feature if you retest later. If you notice severe reactions like swelling or trouble breathing after eating eggs, seek medical care right away.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being received at the lab. You'll get a notification once your results are posted to your account, so there's no need to call or follow up.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who suspects eggs might be behind their digestive issues, skin flare-ups, headaches, or fatigue, especially if these symptoms show up hours after eating rather than immediately. It's also useful for people doing an elimination diet who want lab-based confirmation before permanently cutting out eggs. If you've already noticed a pattern between eating eggs and feeling unwell, this test can help clarify whether egg yolk specifically is the culprit.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include bloating, stomach cramps, diarrhea or constipation, skin issues like eczema or hives, joint pain, brain fog, or fatigue that seems to follow meals containing eggs. Because IgG reactions are delayed, symptoms might not show up until hours or even a day or two after eating. If you keep a food and symptom journal and notice eggs coming up repeatedly, this test can help confirm your suspicion.

What does high egg yolk IgG mean?

A high result means your immune system has built up a noticeable antibody response to egg yolk protein, which some people associate with sensitivity-related symptoms like bloating or skin irritation. It doesn't mean you have a dangerous allergy, but it may be worth reducing egg yolk in your diet for a few weeks to see if you feel better. Pay attention to how your body responds when you reintroduce it later.

What causes a high or low egg yolk IgG result?

Higher levels are often linked to how frequently and how much egg yolk you eat, since regular exposure can lead your immune system to build up more antibodies over time. Your individual gut health, immune sensitivity, and genetics also play a role in how strongly your body reacts. Low levels simply mean your immune system isn't showing much of a response to egg yolk protein at this time.

How often should I retest?

If you make dietary changes based on your results, retesting after 2-3 months can help you see whether your antibody levels have changed. Otherwise, testing once every 6-12 months is reasonable if you're still investigating food-related symptoms. Retesting sooner isn't usually necessary unless your symptoms change significantly.
