Dear Coralie,
What part does IgG play. I was diagnosed with an IgG subclass deficiency
last year which was supposed to explain why I kept getting sick. They are
now investigating various food allergies. Can food intolerances cause an IgG
deficiency? If gluten is a problem, how does it show in your blood, IE which
part? What is the IgG test and how will it monitor your grand daughters
diet? If I track all my problem foods and eliminate them will my IgG be normal?
Looking for answers!!!!Hope you can help!
