Garlic

No measurable IgG antibodies to garlic were identified. This suggests minimal immune reactivity. Garlic is unlikely to be contributing to delayed immune-related symptoms, though digestive sensitivity to fructans can still occur.

A very low result indicates trace immune recognition and is generally considered clinically insignificant. Most individuals with very low garlic IgG tolerate garlic well.

A low result reflects mild immune exposure and is common, especially in individuals who regularly cook with garlic. If symptoms are present, reducing portion size or evaluating FODMAP tolerance may be more relevant than full elimination.

A moderate result indicates a noticeable immune response to garlic proteins. In symptomatic individuals, this may correlate with delayed digestive discomfort, fatigue, headaches, or inflammatory-type symptoms. A structured elimination period followed by careful reintroduction can help clarify whether garlic is contributing to symptoms. Because garlic is often hidden in sauces and prepared foods, careful label reading may be necessary during elimination.

A high result reflects strong IgG reactivity to garlic. In individuals with consistent symptoms after garlic consumption, this may suggest garlic is contributing to ongoing digestive or inflammatory symptoms. Temporary elimination with later reintroduction is often considered. High IgG does not indicate a true garlic allergy, but anyone experiencing immediate reactions such as hives, swelling, or breathing difficulty should seek formal allergy evaluation.
