Understanding the test
What does the Food Intolerance 220+ test measure?
Also called IgG Food Intolerance Panel (220+ Foods)
Each strip in the AESKUBLOTS series contains its own set of food targets. This panel combines all seven strips. Some targets appear on more than one strip, so strip positions and distinct foods are different counts.
When it may be requested
Understanding a previous panel
If you already have a report, check which antibody class it measured. Food-specific IgG4 and allergy-specific IgE answer different laboratory questions.
Checking a named food
The kit lists let you look up the exact target. Shared names, mixtures and repeated positions can otherwise make a panel difficult to compare.

Before your sample
Prepare for collection
SpecimenSerum
Your checklist
A fasting sample is unnecessary for this panel alone. Tell the clinician about foods you already avoid and any history of immediate reactions. Do not reintroduce a food that has caused a serious reaction for the purpose of this test.
A clinician takes a small sample of blood from a vein. The laboratory uses serum, the liquid separated from the blood after it clots.

Reading your result
An IgG4 band means the sample reacted with that food target. People can have food-specific IgG4 while eating the food without difficulty. The shade or number of positive bands cannot tell which foods cause symptoms.
What can affect it
- A low band cannot establish that a food is safe for someone with a suspected immediate allergy. Discuss any previous rapid reaction with an allergy specialist.

Patient questions
Before you book
Can I use this report to decide what to stop eating?
No. IgG4 can reflect ordinary exposure to food. An allergist or dietitian can use your symptoms and dietary history to decide whether any further assessment is appropriate. A high or low band is insufficient grounds to exclude or reintroduce a food.
Why do some foods appear on more than one strip?
The seven manufacturer kits have overlapping targets. A repeated position is another occurrence of the same target, so adding all positions together does not give the number of distinct foods.
Can this panel assess an immediate food reaction?
No. If you are having breathing difficulty, throat swelling or signs of a severe reaction now, seek emergency help immediately and use prescribed adrenaline as directed. After recovery, an allergist can assess the episode using your history and appropriate allergy tests.
