What is the ELISA Test ?
A blood test (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) used to identify food allergies and sensitivities. Two kind of antibodies are tested: IgE and IgG. Whereas IgE antibodies are an indicator of Type 1 hypersensitivity, which is an immediately evident allergic reaction, IgG antibodies have to do with Type 3 sensitivity, which is a delayed reaction.
