Allergy and adverse food reactions can trigger various types of headaches. Mansfield and others found that over 70% of migraine sufferers exhibited at least one reaction provoked by food. Many found relief from their symptoms on a special diet. They advised that IgE testing be used to determine those patients most likely to benefit from diet therapy.1

Pediatric specialists from the Department of Neurology at the Hospital for Sick Children in London have performed a number of studies on migraines in children over the years. In one study, they found that 93% of children improved with a diet that avoided offending foods.2 Later they examined 45 children having epilepsy with migraine and/or hyperkinetic behavior. After eliminating reactive foods, headaches, seizures, and hyperkinetic behavior were eradicated in 25 children and reduced in 11 children.3

By measuring IgE and IgG antibody levels to over 120 foods and inhalants, the Comprehensive Antibody Assessment provides a safe, rapid and convenient method for determining immediate and/or delayed immune reactions that may be triggering recurring headache symptoms.
