IgG Food Intolerance Testing
IgG testing checks for “delayed onset” food reactions. This test is not readily offered by your General Practitioner, as food intolerances are not seen as a major “disease” in modern medicine. However, from a Naturopathic point of view, eliminating foods that we are intolerant to is a vital part of the healing process.

- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
