Frequent Colds & Infections — How Food Intolerance Weakens Your Immune System | Test India

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