Dairy Intolerance
Struggling with bloating, fatigue, or skin flare-ups after dairy?
A dairy intolerance blood test can reveal if your immune system is reacting to milk proteins.
Ditch the Dairy Discomfort: Test for IgG Reactions to Milk Proteins – Reclaim Your Glow
Lattes or cheeseboards leaving you bloated, foggy, or breaking out? Dairy intolerance ignites delayed immune flares to casein and whey – sparking gut turmoil, fatigue, or skin drama without lactose’s sugar rush. Our blood test detects these IgG antibodies, clarifying if dairy’s your hidden foe for tailored, symptom-soothing swaps.
A nurse manages a swift venous draw at home, results in 7 days – the dairy-free path to lighter, brighter days.
The Lingering Dairy Drag – Why Milk’s Proteins Quietly Upend Your Days
Dairy’s a staple, but for intolerants, casein and whey proteins cue IgG antibodies, brewing inflammation long after the last sip – not the quick cramps of lactose issues. Hours later: Bloating puffs you up, gas or pain twists your tummy, diarrhoea/constipation derails routines. Deeper toll: Headaches throb, fatigue weighs heavy, brain fog blurs tasks, mood swings unsettle, or eczema/acne rash your skin – all waved off as ‘hormones’ or ‘busy spells’ in dairy-heavy UK diets.
Trial eliminations frustrate without proof – missing calcium risks bones; testing confirms reactions, easing 80% symptoms via smart choices. “Cheese was my bloating boss – IgG test liberated me.” – Clara B., Oxford.
Free yourself – decode dairy’s hold.
Who Should Take the Dairy Intolerance Blood Test? If Meals Leave You Unsettled, Seek Answers
This IgG dairy screen targets post-consumption unease. Test if you’re:
- Grappling with bloating, gas, pain, diarrhoea, or constipation after milky treats?
- Hit by headaches, migraines, or ‘brain fog’ tied to yogurt or cream?
- Feeling fatigued, low-energy, or mood-volatile post-dairy indulgence?
- Battling skin woes – rashes, eczema, acne – or joint stiffness from daily dairy?
- A regular consumer (e.g., lattes, yoghurts) with nagging or escalating symptoms?
Test once for core insights; retest if flares return post-break or habits shift.
What Your Dairy Intolerance Blood Test Reveals – IgG Antibody Check for Dairy Proteins
Our accredited UK lab profiles your venous sample for immune clues, providing a PDF report with scores, symptom ties, and substitution ideas. Key focus:
- IgG as a Biomarker: Gauges Immunoglobulin G antibodies to dairy proteins (casein, whey, lactose-linked). Raised IgG (>20-50 units) signals delayed sensitivity driving inflammation; report details reaction strength (mild/moderate/high) and links to issues like bloating or acne. Complements symptoms/diet for guidance, not sole diagnosis.
Report includes a dairy trigger scale and retest baseline.
Ease Symptoms with Confidence – Personalised Steps from Your Results
High IgG? Empowering – cut triggers 4-6 weeks for gut/skin relief in most; consult GP/dietitian:
- Elimination Phase: Ditch milk/cheese (opt oat/almond alternatives); scan labels for whey in breads/protein shakes.
- Reintroduction Check: Trial small amounts (e.g., yogurt serving) after pause – track flares; 60% tolerate reduced dairy long-term.
- Supportive Nourishment: Calcium from greens, fortified plants; probiotics (kefir if tolerant) heal gut. Anti-inflammatories (turmeric) soothe joints/mood.
Negative? Great – rule dairy out; explore others like gluten. Retest for updates.
What You Might Be Wondering – Honest Insights Inside
- Lactose vs. protein? This targets IgG to casein/whey (immune), not enzyme lactose issues – but can overlap.
- Eat dairy before? Yes – include 1-2 servings/week pre-test for accurate IgG detection; no fasting.
- Home draw hassle-free? Gentle, quick; discreet for everyday food queries.
- Actionable or advisory? Sparks elimination trials; GP validates with full history.

IgG as a Biomarker
IgG (Immunoglobulin G) is an antibody that signals your immune system has been exposed to certain foods. In food intolerance testing, raised IgG levels may suggest your body is reacting to those foods, potentially causing delayed symptoms like bloating, fatigue, or skin issues. While not a diagnosis on its own, IgG is a helpful marker for identifying possible food sensitivities when reviewed alongside your symptoms and dietary habits.
