South Denver Wellness Offers IgG Food Allergy Testing For Weight Loss Resistant Patients

March 9, 2012 - PRLog -- South Denver will offer comprehensive IgG food allergy testing for patients that have irritable bowel syndrome or are resistant to weight loss . Beginning, April 1, 2012 they will test patients for food intolerances or food sensitivities through Great Plains Laboratory using their IgG Food Allergy Test.

Food intolerances are becoming more prevalent in the United States. Individuals with neurological, gastrointestinal, and movement disorders often suffer from IgG food allergies. These people may continue to compulsively eat offending foods, unaware of their potential effects. Several disorders have been linked to food allergies including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression, Migraines-Headaches, Anxiety, Sleep Disorders, and Obesity.

Several overweight patients exhibit weight loss resistance even when following proper diet and exercise recommendations. The presence of food intolerances or sensitivities can prevent weight loss. “Overweight patients that are following a low calorie diet may continue to eat foods that trigger IgG antibodies. These antibodies result in an inflammatory response in the body” said Dr. Scott McDoniel, PhD, FACN. “Chronic inflammation leads to insulin resistance which inhibits the body’s ability to lose weight and may even lead to additional weight gain. Insulin resistance is when the body is unable to metabolize blood sugar and stores it as adipose tissue (i.e. fat)” continues Dr. McDoniel.

Currently, South Denver Wellness specializes in metabolic-based weight loss which personalizes weight loss plans for overweight patients. “Offering IgG allergy testing enhances our individualized treatment plans for treating excess weight” says Dr. McDoniel.  The IgG allergy test will evaluate 93 foods and yeast overgrowth.  Patients will receive a comprehensive food allergy report, 4-day rotational diet plan, and complimentary counseling session for $295.00. Individuals interested in an IgG allergy test should contact South Denver Wellness at 720-295-8595 to schedule a new patient evaluation. South Denver Wellness will offer a half-price special on new patient evaluations.
