What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing digestive discomfort, bloating, skin issues, or unexplained fatigue after eating certain foods. It checks whether your immune system reacts to raspberries specifically, which can help you figure out if this common food might be contributing to your symptoms. Many people don't realize a food sensitivity could be behind their ongoing discomfort until they test for it.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with the normal range explained so you know exactly what your number means. If your IgG level to raspberry is elevated, a simple next step is to reduce or eliminate raspberries from your diet for a few weeks and see if your symptoms improve, then retest later to track changes. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and the trends feature lets you compare this result to future tests over time.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who regularly eats raspberries or raspberry-containing products and notices symptoms like bloating, skin rashes, headaches, or fatigue afterward should consider this test. It's also useful for people doing an elimination diet who want objective data on specific foods rather than guessing. If you've already noticed a pattern between raspberry consumption and how you feel, this test can help confirm it.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include bloating, stomach cramps, diarrhea or constipation, skin breakouts, headaches, joint pain, or brain fog that shows up hours after eating. These symptoms are usually delayed rather than immediate, which makes it hard to connect them to raspberries without testing. If you notice these issues after eating raspberries or raspberry-containing foods, this test can help clarify the connection.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. Once ready, they'll be posted directly to your account where you can view and download them. You'll be able to see your specific value alongside the reference range so you understand what it means right away.

How can I naturally support a food sensitivity?

If your results show a raspberry sensitivity, try removing raspberries and related products from your diet for 2-4 weeks and notice how you feel. Supporting your gut health with probiotic-rich foods, staying hydrated, and eating a variety of whole foods can also help your digestive system recover. Keeping a simple food and symptom journal makes it easier to spot patterns as you reintroduce foods slowly.

What does high IgG to raspberry mean?

A high result means your immune system has built up antibodies in response to raspberry proteins, which for some people is linked to digestive or skin symptoms after eating them. It doesn't necessarily mean a severe allergy, but it can be a sign your body responds differently to that food. Reducing raspberry intake and watching your symptoms is a practical first step.

What causes a high IgG reaction to a specific food?

Frequent consumption of a food, an imbalanced gut microbiome, or increased gut permeability (sometimes called "leaky gut") can all contribute to elevated IgG antibodies against that food. Eating the same foods repeatedly over time is one of the most common contributing factors. Diversifying your diet and giving your gut time to reset can help lower this kind of reaction.

How often should I retest?

If you make dietary changes based on your results, retesting after 8-12 weeks is a reasonable timeframe to see if your levels have changed. This gives your body enough time to respond to the elimination of raspberries from your diet. Using the trends feature in your account makes it easy to compare results side by side.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Start by removing raspberries from your diet for a few weeks and track whether your symptoms improve. Pay attention to hidden sources like jams, smoothies, or flavored products that may contain raspberry. If your symptoms are severe or don't improve, consider seeking medical care to rule out other causes.
