What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained digestive discomfort, bloating, headaches, or skin issues that you suspect might be related to eating buckwheat. It measures your immune system's IgG response to buckwheat, which can indicate a delayed food sensitivity that's harder to identify than an immediate allergic reaction. Many people use this test when they've noticed symptoms after eating foods containing buckwheat but want concrete answers about whether it's truly a trigger.

How should I prepare for this test?

For the most accurate results, continue eating buckwheat as part of your regular diet before testing. Your body needs recent exposure to buckwheat to produce measurable IgG antibodies, so avoiding it beforehand may lead to falsely low results. No fasting is required, and you can take your regular medications unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

What's included in this test?

Food Specific IgG Buckwheat

This test measures your IgG antibody levels specific to buckwheat, which indicates whether your immune system has developed a sensitivity reaction to this grain. Unlike immediate IgE allergies that cause rapid reactions, IgG responses are delayed and can cause symptoms hours or even days after eating buckwheat, making them harder to identify without testing. This measurement helps you understand if buckwheat is a hidden trigger behind chronic digestive issues, inflammation, or other unexplained symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your IgG antibody levels to buckwheat mean and whether this food may be contributing to your symptoms. These notes include personalized recommendations like elimination diet guidance, reintroduction strategies, or alternative grain suggestions to help you manage your diet. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your IgG levels over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful if you're eliminating buckwheat and want to see if your immune response changes.
When will I get my results?
Most food sensitivity IgG tests are processed within 5-7 business days after your sample reaches the laboratory. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account. The turnaround may vary slightly depending on the lab's current volume and your location.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is ideal for anyone experiencing persistent digestive problems, skin issues, headaches, or fatigue that might be food-related but haven't been able to pinpoint the cause. It's particularly useful if you eat buckwheat regularly in foods like soba noodles, pancakes, or gluten-free products and suspect it might be causing problems. People with other known food sensitivities or those following elimination diets often find this test helpful for identifying specific triggers.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms of buckwheat sensitivity include bloating, gas, stomach cramps, diarrhea, or constipation after eating. You might also experience skin reactions like eczema or hives, chronic headaches, joint pain, or unexplained fatigue. If you notice these symptoms occurring regularly but can't identify a clear pattern, or if they appear hours to days after eating rather than immediately, a food-specific IgG test can help identify buckwheat as a potential trigger.
How can I manage my diet if I have buckwheat sensitivity?
If your test shows elevated IgG levels to buckwheat, try eliminating it completely from your diet for 4-6 weeks to see if symptoms improve. Read labels carefully as buckwheat appears in soba noodles, pancake mixes, some gluten-free products, and certain breakfast cereals. Replace buckwheat with alternative grains like quinoa, rice, oats, or millet. After the elimination period, you can work with a healthcare provider to potentially reintroduce it in small amounts to assess your tolerance.
What is IgG food sensitivity and how is it different from a food allergy?
IgG food sensitivity is a delayed immune response that can occur hours or days after eating a food, making it difficult to identify without testing. Unlike IgE food allergies that cause immediate reactions like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis, IgG reactions are subtler and may contribute to chronic issues like digestive problems, headaches, or inflammation. While IgE allergies are typically lifelong, IgG sensitivities can sometimes improve after eliminating the trigger food for several months.
How often should I retest my buckwheat sensitivity?
If your results show elevated IgG levels and you eliminate buckwheat from your diet, consider retesting after 6-12 months to see if your antibody levels have decreased. Many people find that after avoiding a trigger food for several months, their immune response calms down and they may be able to tolerate small amounts again. If your initial test is negative but symptoms persist, you might retest after ensuring you've been consuming buckwheat regularly, or consider testing for other potential food triggers.
