IgG allergy testing results (edited)

Mbitner

Preliminary results for food allergies for LO came back (IgG): moderate allergies were- egg white chicken, egg yolk chicken, soy, buckwheat, and corn. Very low allergies to- celery, cucumber, cranberry. Waiting to hear back rest of results (tested for EE and celiac). But, if other tests have similar results celiac should be ruled out. Is buckwheat and corn in common foods?  I know soy is in a lot of his foods. THANKS!!!

that is a heavy list. I'm sorry!

I don't know about buckwheat but corn is very common.  and sometimes a PITA to avoid.  There are a few people on here who are dealing with a corn allergy.

I've been trying to avoid corn in general recently and i find it in so many things.

Buckwheat may be showing up due to gluten, just depends on how it is processed. For example, my DD showed oats on iGg but she's ok with gluten free oats and has no reaction. With iGg testing I'd be sure to ask your dr which foods may be showing up due to gluten. We also avoid corn as it is almost always GMO and is a very inflammatory food. We can tolerate organic corn about once a month.

Corn is going to most definitely be the hardest. Their are forums at https://kidswithfoodallergies.org and there is a thread or an entire group there for people who are avoiding corn, because it can be very hidden.

Yikes!  Thanks ladies! This is going to be difficult- LO has many food aversions and is a very picky eater.  That is not going to help this at all!

Why did they call it an IgG allergy test?

I have an IgG deficiency and have never had allergies mentioned by any of the drs or specialist.  

Just wondering- totally serious question.

We did numerous kinds of delayed reaction food allergy tests:  IgG IgE etc  It shows which antibodies he has the food reactions with.  He did not have any reactions/food allergies to any of the IgE testing.
