What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing digestive discomfort, bloating, headaches, skin issues, or fatigue after eating beetroot or foods containing it. It helps identify if you have an IgG-mediated sensitivity to beetroot that may be causing these delayed reactions. Many people use this test when they suspect beetroot is triggering their symptoms but want concrete confirmation before eliminating it from their diet.

What's included in this test?

Food Specific IgG Beet Root

This test measures Food Specific IgG Beet Root. This specific test evaluates your immune system's IgG antibody response to beetroot protein, which can indicate a delayed food sensitivity reaction. Unlike immediate allergies, IgG sensitivities can cause symptoms hours or even days after eating the food, making them difficult to identify without testing. This measurement helps you understand if beetroot is triggering inflammation or immune reactions in your body.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your IgG antibody levels to beetroot mean and whether they indicate a sensitivity. These notes include personalized recommendations like elimination diet strategies, food substitution ideas, or how to reintroduce beetroot safely. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your antibody levels over time using our trends feature to see if dietary changes are helping reduce your sensitivity.

Who should consider getting this test?
This test is valuable for anyone who experiences unexplained digestive issues, chronic inflammation, skin problems, or energy fluctuations and regularly consumes beetroot in salads, juices, or supplements. It's also helpful for people with autoimmune conditions or those trying to identify hidden food triggers affecting their overall wellness. If you've tried eliminating common allergens without improvement, testing specific foods like beetroot can provide important clues.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms of beetroot sensitivity include bloating, gas, stomach cramps, diarrhea, or nausea that occurs several hours after consumption. You might also experience headaches, joint pain, skin rashes, eczema flare-ups, brain fog, or unexplained fatigue. Since these reactions are delayed, it can be challenging to connect them to beetroot without testing, especially if you consume it regularly.
How can I support my digestive health if I have a food sensitivity?
Start by eliminating the reactive food completely for 4-6 weeks to allow your gut to heal and inflammation to decrease. Focus on eating a variety of whole, unprocessed foods and include gut-supporting nutrients like omega-3s, zinc, and probiotics. Support your digestive system with bone broth, fermented foods, and plenty of fiber from vegetables and fruits. After the elimination period, you may be able to reintroduce the food slowly in small amounts.
What is IgG food sensitivity and why does it matter?
IgG food sensitivity is a delayed immune reaction where your body produces IgG antibodies against certain food proteins, viewing them as threats. Unlike immediate IgE allergies that cause instant reactions, IgG responses can take hours or days to appear, making them hard to identify. These ongoing immune reactions can contribute to chronic inflammation, digestive problems, and various health issues that many people don't realize are food-related.
What does a high IgG level to beetroot mean?
A high IgG level indicates your immune system is producing significant antibodies against beetroot proteins, suggesting your body may be reacting to it as a potential threat. This immune response can trigger inflammation and various symptoms throughout your body. While not a true allergy, elevated IgG levels suggest beetroot may be contributing to your health concerns and eliminating it could improve your symptoms.
What causes food sensitivities to develop?
Food sensitivities often develop due to increased intestinal permeability, commonly called leaky gut, where food particles enter the bloodstream and trigger immune responses. Other causes include overconsumption of the same foods, chronic stress, antibiotic use, digestive enzyme deficiencies, or underlying gut inflammation. Sometimes sensitivities develop after illness, pregnancy, or periods of high stress that compromise digestive health.
How often should I retest my food sensitivities?
If you eliminate the reactive food and work on gut healing, retesting after 6-12 months can show if your sensitivity has decreased or resolved. Many people find their IgG levels drop significantly after avoiding the food and supporting their digestive health. If you choose to reintroduce beetroot, monitoring symptoms and retesting annually can help you track your tolerance and ensure you're maintaining gut health.
