Re: Are there any reliable testing companies?       04/09/07 01:44 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA According to the YorkTest web site the test "measures specific IgG antibodies to identify foods to which you may be sensitive. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates a possible sensitivity to a particular food." The former president of the British Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) testified to the UK Select Committee on Health "Closely linked to Provocation-Neutralization are a number of other unsubstantiated tests which are widely available but have never stood up to any real scientific scrutiny. These include serum IgG antibodies for food allergy ("Yorktest"), iridology, applied kinesiology (muscle testing), cytotoxic food testing—ALCAT, electrodermal skin tests—VEGA testing, ELISA/ACT and hair analysis." If you are thinking of having allergy tests then I would recommend having your GP refer you to an allergist. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
