Food Sensitivity Panel
Discover the hidden foods fueling your inflammation
$250–$500
10–14 business days
IgG and IgA food sensitivity panels test your immune system's response to 96–200+ foods, identifying delayed-reaction food sensitivities that are impossible to detect through elimination diets alone.
Unlike food allergies (IgE-mediated, immediate reactions), food sensitivities (IgG/IgA-mediated) cause delayed inflammatory responses 24–72 hours after eating — making them virtually impossible to identify without testing. These hidden sensitivities are a major driver of chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, skin conditions, and digestive issues.
What It Measures
IgG antibody reactions to 96–200+ foods
IgA antibody reactions (mucosal immune response)
Complement activation (C3d) for true inflammatory response
Cross-reactive food groups
Dairy, gluten, grain, and legume sub-panels
Severity grading (mild, moderate, severe reactivity)
Why Gabriel Recommends It
Chronic inflammation is the root of most disease, and food is the most common inflammatory trigger we encounter daily. A patient eating 'healthy' foods they're sensitive to can drive autoimmunity, skin flares, and gut damage for years without knowing. Gabriel uses food sensitivity data to design personalized elimination and reintroduction protocols that dramatically reduce systemic inflammation.
What to Expect
A simple blood draw (finger prick kits available for some panels). The sample is analyzed for antibody reactions to a comprehensive food panel. Results arrive in 10–14 business days with clear color-coded reactivity charts. Upload to Gabriel for a customized elimination protocol and reintroduction timeline.
How Gabriel Interprets This
Conventional practitioners read these results through a disease-focused lens — looking for what's broken. Gabriel reads them through a holistic lens — looking for what's out of balance and how to restore it. We see optimal ranges, not just "normal" ranges. We connect findings across all your diagnostics to reveal patterns that siloed specialists miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is genuinely debated. Major allergy organizations like AAAAI say IgG antibodies reflect normal food exposure, not pathology. Functional medicine practitioners argue IgG testing, combined with elimination diets, consistently helps resolve chronic symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and skin issues. Gabriel's position: the test has clinical utility as a guide for elimination diets, not as a standalone diagnosis.
Food allergy tests measure IgE antibodies, which trigger immediate reactions (hives, anaphylaxis, swelling). Food sensitivity tests measure IgG antibodies, which are associated with delayed reactions (hours to days later) causing chronic symptoms like bloating, headaches, brain fog, and joint pain.
Most comprehensive panels test 96 to 250+ foods. The broader panels include common triggers like gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy, plus less obvious ones like specific fruits, nuts, spices, and food additives.
Your practitioner will help you design an elimination diet removing your highest-reactive foods for 4-8 weeks, then systematically reintroduce them one at a time to confirm which ones actually cause symptoms. The goal isn't permanent avoidance but identifying your triggers and healing the gut so you can eventually tolerate more foods.
Typically $200-400 depending on the panel size. At-home finger-stick collection kits are available from several labs. Insurance rarely covers it.
