What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing bloating, stomach pain, skin issues, or fatigue that seem to happen after eating fish or seafood. It checks whether your immune system reacts to haddock specifically, which can be a hidden trigger for ongoing digestive or skin complaints. Many people don't connect their symptoms to a specific food until they test for it.

What's included in this test?

This test measures your immune system's IgG antibody response to haddock specifically. IgG reactions are different from classic allergies — they tend to show up as delayed symptoms like bloating, headaches, or skin flare-ups hours or even days after eating the trigger food, which is why they're often overlooked.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with the normal range clearly explained so you know exactly where you stand. If your haddock IgG level comes back elevated, a simple next step is to remove haddock from your diet for a few weeks and see if your symptoms improve, then retest later to check for changes. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and the trends feature lets you track your results if you test again in the future.

How can I naturally support digestive health?

Cutting out common trigger foods for a few weeks, drinking plenty of water, and eating more fiber-rich vegetables can help calm digestive irritation. Probiotic-rich foods like yogurt or fermented vegetables may also support a healthier gut lining. Keeping a simple food and symptom journal can help you spot patterns even before your results come back.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your account, so there's no need to keep checking back.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who notices digestive discomfort, bloating, headaches, or skin issues after eating fish or seafood might benefit from this test. It's also useful for people who've tried eliminating common allergens without relief and want to check a specific suspect food. If you eat haddock regularly and have unexplained symptoms, this test can help clarify whether it's a factor.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include bloating, gas, stomach cramps, diarrhea or constipation, skin rashes, joint aches, brain fog, or fatigue that shows up after meals containing fish. These symptoms can be delayed by hours or days, which makes it hard to link them to haddock without testing. If these patterns sound familiar, this test can help confirm or rule out a haddock sensitivity.

What does high haddock IgG mean?

A high result means your immune system is producing more antibodies against haddock proteins than typical, which can be associated with the symptoms you've been noticing. This doesn't mean you have a dangerous allergy, but it suggests your body may respond better if you reduce or avoid haddock for a while. Many people see improvement in digestion, skin, or energy within a few weeks of cutting out the trigger food.

What causes a high IgG reaction to a specific food?

Frequent or repeated exposure to a food, an imbalanced gut lining, or general gut irritation can all make it easier for the immune system to develop an elevated IgG response. Eating the same foods often, like haddock in a regular seafood diet, can increase the chance of building up a reaction over time. Stress and other digestive issues can also make the gut more reactive to certain proteins.

How often should I retest?

If you eliminate haddock after a high result, retesting in about 3 to 6 months can help you see if your antibody levels have come down. If you reintroduce haddock into your diet later and symptoms return, that's a good time to retest as well. Regular retesting helps you understand how your body responds over time as your diet changes.
