Potato (f35) IgG details
What Potato (f35) IgG shows
This test measures IgG antibodies to potato proteins in your blood. Your immune system commonly makes IgG to foods you eat regularly, so a detectable level mainly reflects exposure to potato rather than an allergy. Some people use food IgG results when exploring symptoms they think are food-related, but their link to symptoms is debated, and major allergy organizations do not recommend them for diagnosing food allergy or intolerance. A higher result does not show that potato is causing your symptoms. This test is different from IgE testing, which looks for allergic sensitization.
