Learn about IgA, IgG, IgG4, IgE & C3bd — why all are important components of food testing

Understanding EAT144 Results

Discover how five distinct immune markers reveal the full picture of food reactivity, gut barrier health, and chronic inflammation driving today’s most common metabolic conditions.

Five Immune Pathways

Most food sensitivity panels only test IgG. The EAT144 test measures all five immune pathways — giving practitioners and patients a complete, accurate picture of how the immune system is responding to food.

IgE
Classic food allergy

Immediate hypersensitivity. Drives mast cell activation, histamine release, and anaphylactic risk.

IgG4
Allergen marker

Blocks IgE reactions — but chronically elevated IgG4 increases autoimmune risk over time.

IgG
Delayed sensitivity

Reactions appear up to 72 hours after eating. A major driver of low-grade systemic inflammation.

C3bd
Complement amplifier

Activates independently — then intensifies IgG responses and drives pro-allergenic TH2 immunity.

IgA
Mucosal barrier health

High IgA signals active gut inflammation. Low IgA means the barrier is depleted and defenseless.

EAT144
144 foods tested

Most panels cover ~88 foods. EAT144 tests 144 — giving patients a broader green-light list and fewer dietary restrictions.
