Has anyone bought bought a intolerance test on line
did they work?
did they work?
Any recommendations?
I have been diagnosed Coeliac but even cutting out the gluten and following the guidelines strictly I still have “bad days” With what’s going on in the world it’s impossible to get referral from your Dr to see a specialist so was considering buying a test.

"The presence of IgG is likely a normal response of the immune system to exposure to food. In fact, higher levels of IgG4 to foods may simply be associated with tolerance to those foods." https://www.aaaai.org/conditions-and-treatments/library/allergy-library/IgG-food-test

There are people who change their diets according to the results and do feel better, but that is very often because they've had to overhaul their diet to cut out processed foods and eat just generally healthier anyway.
The most reliable way to determine intolerances is to try eliminating a suspected food completely then gradually reintroduce it to see what happens. Ideally this needs to be with professional guidance, and if not then you need to do your research and make sure any elimination diet still includes all the nutrition you need.
