Food Intolerance and Frequent Infections / Flu

While food intolerance doesn’t cause infections directly, chronic immune stress from IgG-mediated food reactions can weaken your immune defines over time.

How It Happens:

  • Immune System Overload: Constant exposure to trigger foods keeps the immune system in a state of low-grade inflammation, reducing its efficiency to fight real pathogens like viruses or bacteria.
  • Nutrient Malabsorption: Inflammation in the gut due to food intolerance can impair absorption of immune-supportive nutrients like zinc, vitamin D, iron, and B vitamins.
  • Mucosal Barrier Disruption: A compromised gut lining (leaky gut) can make the body more vulnerable to both GI and respiratory infections.

The Result:

  • Repeated colds, sore throats, fatigue
  • Increased susceptibility to flu-like symptoms
  • Slower recovery from common illnesses

Role of ImuPro

By identifying IgG-reactive foods, the ImuPro test can guide dietary changes that:

  • Reduce chronic immune activation
  • Support gut health and nutrient absorption
  • Strengthen natural immunity and lower infection frequency
