Food Intolerance
In the case of an intolerance or allergy, overreactions to "harmless" substances can occur, for example in the form of stomach pains or other allergic reactions. This test provides you with personalised results in the protected customer area on cerascreen.de. In addition to the test results, you will receive a detailed explanation of your test results developed by biologists that explains their interpretation and and provides suggestions on how to deal with the food intolerances and allergies.
How the food reaction test works:
IgE and IgG4 are so-called immunoglobulins. They fend off substances inside the body that the immune system perceives as harmful.
IgE is a special class of antibodies that recognises and prevents the entry of hostile substances into the body by triggering reactions that impede or block entry. The symptoms typically associated with IgE binding include tearing, diarrhoea, vomiting, coughing, cramps, redness, itching and fever.
The IgG4 antibody class is active when foreign substances enter the body and must be quickly deactivated. The body's defense system against pathogenic bacteria and viruses is essentially based on the IgG4 antibody. In order to block and destroy foreign bodies, a defense and inflammatory reaction begins. The reactions are usually not immediately felt as strongly as with IgE. However, if left unnoticed for a longer period of time, they can cause lasting damage and chronic discomfort.
Your sample will be tested in the laboratory for food allergies by examining IgE antibodies and for food intolerance by IgG4 evaluation.
