Food Intolerance and Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors—diet, genetics, physical activity, hormones, and increasingly, inflammation. One often-overlooked contributor to this inflammation is IgG-mediated food intolerance.

Chronic Inflammation and Weight Gain

When children regularly consume foods their body is sensitive to, the immune system may produce IgG antibodies, causing low-grade, chronic inflammation. This can:

  • Disrupt metabolism and insulin sensitivity
  • Lead to fluid retention and cravings
  • Make it harder for the body to burn fat efficiently

Digestive Distress and Poor Nutrient Absorption

Food intolerances may also cause bloating, constipation, or gut imbalance, impairing nutrient absorption and increasing food cravings—especially for sugary or processed foods.

Cycle of Fatigue and Reduced Activity

Inflammation from food triggers can lead to fatigue, headaches, or mood swings, reducing a child’s motivation to stay active—further contributing to weight gain.

How ImuPro Helps

The ImuPro IgG food intolerance test identifies hidden food triggers that may be:

  • Driving inflammation
  • Affecting digestion and metabolism
  • Contributing to stubborn weight gain

By removing these foods through a guided elimination plan, children may experience:

  • Improved energy and mood
  • Reduced gut discomfort
  • Better weight regulation over time
