 What is ImuPro300?
ImuPro300 is briefly an allergy test performed to find out the body’s reactions to 300 different food groups.
Why ImuPro300?
According to experts there is a direct relation between food intolerance and some health problems. If
- you think that your body does not tolerate some food substances well,
-
you always feel yourself tired after meals,
-
you have problems including gas, constipation, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease,
- you have weight problem and your weight can markedly increase and decrease in even one day,
- your problems decrease when you do not eat,
- you have skin problems of inflammation and pruritus,
- you have migraine, chronic tiredness and even depression,
- you have hyperactivity or attention deficit
it would be beneficial to have ImuPro300 test, because these symptoms may be sign of food intolerance.

Is it possible to understand food intolerance by tasting or feeling?
 All you want to know about the clinical significance of ImuPro300 and IgG antibodies
Intolerance should not be confused with typical allergies. Allergy is a defense mechanism which the body induces to an actually harmless substance. The characteristic property of an allergy is that symptoms (swelling in the lips and throat, dyspnea, repeating sneezes and skin eruption etc.) emerge suddenly and severely. Reaction starts within a short time after food consumption.
Food allergies can be easily differentiated this way. ImuPro300 cannot define such allergies which affect a very small portion of the population. Many people are intolerant to some food, even though they are not aware of this. Although food allergies are observed rarely, food intolerance occurs frequently. It may transfer to the baby by breast milk or may develop in time. The diseases due to this intolerance may be similar to allergic reactions and may sometimes develop after hours or days. Thus, you may be intolerant to products including lettuce, tomato, potato, yogurt and milk. As a result, your immune system is loaded and your metabolism is affected. Even though you feel no different taste of smell, your health may be negatively affected. Generally, the possibility that our eating habits may affect our health is ignored. Here, ImuPro300 test is important. If our body has a problem about immunity to a food, G type globulins start to be produced which we call antibodies. ImuPro300 test can reliably define these antibodies for about 300 different foods.
How do all these happen?
Our intolerance to certain foods may have multiple causes. These causes include the way of foods produced and stored, single type eating habits, stress, environmental factors, alcohol and toxic substances we consume in some way. When all these come together, they affect our bowel function, our gastrointestinal system. Since the elements inside our foods are foreign for our immune system, a continuous fight starts. Our immune system and thus our metabolism and our organism are under continuous and increasing stress.
Here, a vicious cycle is present. We are bound to some foods with passion though we are intolerant to them as if a narcotic habit. As a result, skin problems, migraine, excessive weakness, excessive weight, gastric and intestinal diseases, cardiac and circulatory disorders, rheumatism and depression. The foods we consume can transform into narcotics which render us dependent and ill outside of our awareness. With ImuPro300 you can track the foods which have become a habit outside of your awareness and which harm you.
ImuPro300 Food Tolerance Test (Type 3 Allergy)
Even though generally not recognized, allergic reactions due to food intolerance are among the most common factors leading to diseases. According to the estimation of the British Allergy Foundation 45% of the population in Europe and USA have health problems related to food intolerance. Inflammation arising from reaction of the immune system to various foods may lead to different diseases:
- Chronic iron deficiency
- Obesity
- IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)
- Hypertension
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Chronic tiredness
-
Asthma
- Depression
- Eczema
- Hyperthyroidism
As mentioned above, the common cause of all these diseases and more is chronic inflammation. The mentioned food intolerance is IgG dependent type 3 allergies which shows delayed reaction and should definitely not be confused with IgE dependent type 1 allergy which is known as typical allergy. The presence of IgE has not been defined well and represents an atopic reaction where symptoms instantly start because of histamine release. Although type 1 allergies are rare, type 3 food sensitivity is observed frequently. It may transfer to the baby with breast milk or develop in time.
 If our body has a problem about immunity to a food, G type globulins start to be produced which we call antibodies. ImuPro300 test can reliably define these antibodies for about 300 different foods. Our intolerance to certain foods may have multiple causes. These causes include ways of production/storage of foods, single type eating habits, stress, environmental factors, antibiotics and toxic substances we consume in some way. When all these come together, they affect our bowel function (our gastrointestinal system). The foods we consume may be perceived as foreign substances by our immune system. The importance of determining IgG had not been understood for a long time.
New publications have documented the proofs related to determining IgG. Treatment performed by avoiding the causative food has led to significant improvement for the related diseases. In a study performed by the British Allergy Foundation revealed the economic advantages for healthcare insurance system and for the population as well as benefits for patients. Foods represent potential antigens and foods are consumed every day and even multiple times a day. If the organism develops immune reaction to a food, it is clear that this food will be a cause for chronic inflammation. Determination of food-specific IgG makes it possible to define the food responsible of the inflammation and only avoiding that food constitutes treatment directed to the causative agent. Determination of food-specific IgG should be recommended in all chronic inflammatory diseases with unknown etiology.
ImuPro300- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
My family practitioner made a normal allergy test to me. Why the results of allergy test and ImuPro300 test are are not the same?The answer is very simple. ImuPro300 test shows reactions which are defined by IgG control and which may occur later. Another study was done on the test which your doctor performed on you. That test shows immediate reactions by IgE control. What is the difference between Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin E?IgG reactions occur when intestinal flora is disrupted and decrease when you continue to change your eating habits. IgE reactions occur rarely, but are persistent for a life time. Which foods cause intolerance more frequently?It is not possible to make a generalization. Food intolerance is a specific subject. A food which is very good for one person may be harmful for another person. However, the tests performed by ImuPro300 method have shown that milk and dairy products and cereal types cause immunological reactions related to the immune system in a majority of people. Gluten, egg white (chicken egg), dairy products and beer/sourdough cause formation of very strong antigens. When sensitivity is being talked about, these foods should definitely be avoided. However, it is very difficult to avoid tem, because these substances are secretly present in many food substances produced industrially. Should I have ImuPro300 test once again?No, in normal conditions you do not have to repeat the test. Even though some antibodies are found to be absent in the re-test performed, this does not mean that you can consume the food substances to which you gave reaction without thinking, because your immune system has a memory and when it is confronted with a food substance to which it showed reaction before, it again starts to produce these antibodies.
Most of these antibodies are eliminated definitely, when you change your eating habits. However, the important point is that these antibodies do not start fighting with your immune system after your bowels change eating habits and obtain their normal function. ImuPro300 test should only be repeated, if the symptoms recur, although you have changes your eating habits. This is probably an indication that new sensitizations have developed. If you want to repeat the test just for getting information, it is appropriate that you do it 2 years later.
The allergy test performed on me showed that I have allergy to foods I never consume. How is this possible?
Some foods are from the same plant family. For example, tobacco, potato and tomato. Even though you have never consumed soy, it is possible that you show reaction to soy. Another reason is that some food products contain the same substance. My body has tolerance to sesame. I use drugs containing sesame for my joint problems. Should I discontinue these drugs?Yes, the best thing you would do is this. By changing your eating habits it is possible to relieve your joint problems. If you do this, you may not need drug treatment. Let’s think that I really want to consume a food substance which is not tested. Will you allow me to do this?Rarely found exotic fruit and vegetables have led to intolerance in very few people. If you want to consume these, you can eat them. If you have found out that no different reactions occurred after consuming these foods for a while, you can go on eating them without fear. However, we recommend you to include these foods in your diet list one by one and with a time period of at least one week. What should I do, if I have excessive hunger for a food?The relation between intolerance to a food and excessive desire for that food is known. If you have excessive desire for a food that your body can not tolerate, you should resist this desire. Normally, this desire disappears within 3-5 days. To achieve this, you can also use odorous candles, sticks or body oils which contain the extract of the food. May I eat sweeties?Yes, you may. However, you should reduce the amount of this in your nutrition plan. You should definitely avoid industrially produced sweeties, chocolate and similar products. Instead, it is appropriate that you consume sweetened beverages or fruit. May I consume mixed frozen vegetables?Yes, but be cautious not to consume the same mixture every day. |
