IgE allergy testing detects immediate, potentially severe allergic reactions. IgG testing detects a slower, lower grade immune response that some clinicians use to guide elimination diet strategies in complex, non allergic food triggered symptoms. The clinical validity of IgG testing is debated, and results should always be interpreted as one input among many. In practice, many functional medicine practitioners use the panel to prioritise which foods to trial removing for a 6 week elimination period, followed by controlled reintroduction. The 96 food panel covers common grains, dairy products, eggs, meats, fish, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits. It is most useful when integrated with gut healing, not used as a standalone answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-ingredients\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it measures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBiomarker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSample\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReference Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat it tells you\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgG Antibodies to 96 Foods\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlood (SST)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass 0 to 4 reactivity scale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlower onset antibody response.
