ImuPRO is a laboratory test used for diagnosing delayed food allergies (type III / IgG) and it was developed by R-Biopharm, a German company.

The ImuPRO concept is based on a complex blood test which identifies delayed food allergies offering also a personalized strategy together with the laboratory report. This approach became extremely helpful for hundreds of thousands of patients from more than 40 countries, patients dealing with gastrointestinal diseases, chronic pains, weight issues or dermatological conditions.

IgE food allergies versus delayed food allergies (IgG)

IgE food allergies normally appear few minutes after food ingestion or in contact with an allergen such as dust or pollen. The common reactions are lips and throat swollen, dyspnea, skin rash or anaphylactic shock. In contrast with this type of reactions, delayed food allergy can only be identified from blood samples, using laboratory tests which measures the level of blood IgG antibodies produced by the body in response to inappropriately processed foods. The allergic reactions for delayed food allergies are normally shown up to 3 days after ingestion, becoming difficult to establish a cause-effect relation between the food and different types of symptoms.

Which are the causes of delayed food allergies?

Delayed food allergies (IgG food allergies) are abnormal reaction of the organism against food proteins that occur when the intestinal barrier is damaged by unbalanced eating habits, stress, environmental factors, drugs, alcohol, intestinal infections or the presence of toxins. Normally, the intestinal barrier identifies the aliments and its components as being harmless. However, when this intestinal barrier is damaged, the intestinal cells consider that the aliments are harmful for the body, activating the immune system to create IgG antibodies (they are known also as the second line of defense of the immune system). .

IgG antibodies are linking to the food protein and developing immune complex which are spreading throughout the body through the blood and depositing in various tissues to be destroyed by special cells. Therefore, our body releases aggressive free radicals and substances that can cause cellular lesions and local inflammatory reactions. Not recognizing the real trigger factor, as food may be, and by not removing it, the injuries cannot be repaired. The result is developing a chronic inflammation.

More than this, the chronic inflammation is the main factor for chronic diseases. Among common chronic diseases are: Crohn disease, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic iron deficiency, obesity, diabetes, hypothyroidism, joint disorders, autoimmune diseases, asthma, non-infectious rhinitis, anxiety, depression, atopic dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis.

ImuPRO Concept – diagnosis and personalized diet plan

ImuPRO blood test measures the levels of IgG antibodies that the body does not process properly and indicates, through the reactions it causes, the cause of many chronic conditions and medical symptoms. The blood samples are analyzed in a laboratory from Germany. You will receive the results together with a personalized diet plan and a book recipe designed to help you easily reconfigure your daily menu. The recommendations are also based on your gastronomic preferences (if you are vegan, for example) and also according to your IgE allergies, if there are.

Testing options for delayed food allergies:

• ImuPRO Basic is testing the most commonly consumed 90 aliments, such as different types of meat, vegetables, cereals or chicken egg. You will receive the results together with personalized nutrition advices and food strategies.;
• ImuPRO Basic + is testing 180 aliments. Basically, this type of test is an upgrade for ImuPRO Basic, by adding another 90 aliments such as non-gluten cereals, alternative aliments for diary products and chicken egg, different species of fish, wildmeat, more fruits and vegetables. The results are accompanied by personalized diet recommendations and a recipe book for the preparation of permitted foods;
• ImuPRO Complete is testing 270 foods and additives. In addition to meat, vegetables, fruits, the most commonly consumed cereal or egg, this variant also tests their alternatives and foods specific to other geographic regions. In addition, a large number of spices, teas, coffee types, wines and thickening or preserving agents are also examined. The results are accompanied by personalized diet recommendations and a recipe book for the preparation of permitted foods.
