Apple (f49) IgG details
What Apple (f49) IgG shows
Apple is one of the most widely eaten fruits, eaten raw and in juices, sauces and baked goods. This test measures IgG antibodies to apple proteins in your blood. Unlike IgE, which drives classic food allergy, IgG to foods is common in healthy people and tends to rise with regular eating, so it mainly reflects exposure. A higher result usually means you eat apple often. Whether food IgG explains symptoms such as bloating or headaches is debated, and major allergy organizations do not recommend it for diagnosing food intolerance. It does not show a food allergy.
