Flounder (f147) IgG4 details
What Flounder (f147) IgG4 shows
Flounder is a mild white flatfish eaten in many cuisines. This test measures IgG4 antibodies to flounder proteins as part of a food IgG4 panel. IgG4 antibodies to foods commonly form when you eat a food regularly, so a higher result generally reflects exposure to flounder rather than an allergy. Some practitioners use food IgG4 results to guide elimination diets, but the link between food IgG4 levels and symptoms is debated and not supported by major allergy organizations. This test is different from IgE testing, which looks for allergic sensitization, and a result should be interpreted with your symptoms and diet history in mind.
