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.
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.
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.
What this means
Your IgG antibody level to beetroot is elevated, indicating your immune system is reacting to beetroot proteins. This immune response may be contributing to digestive discomfort, inflammation, or other symptoms you're experiencing after consuming beetroot or foods containing it.
Recommended actions
Eliminate beetroot and beetroot-containing products from your diet for 4-6 weeks
Keep a food diary to track symptom improvements during the elimination period
Focus on gut-healing foods like bone broth, fermented vegetables, and omega-3 rich fish
Consider retesting in 6-12 months after dietary changes and gut healing
