Which one is most useful to start with?
Is one more reliable?
Thanks,

There's also IgE.
I had all 3 tested by an integrative doctor.
This is from the notes.
I don't understand it all but it may be of some use.IgA was low > suspicion of impaired gut mucosa > absorption of bowel toxins and food peptide fragments > immune hyper-reactivity and impaired brain/hormonal function.
IgE was abnormally high which combined with the RAST test suggested I was reacting to yeast.
IgG was OK. I did not seem to be reacting to gluten, although lectins were an open question.

Hi Sigi, nice to see you.
I didn't know about IgE. Looks like maybe I'll do at least a&g, and do more reading?
Were you inquiring about specific symptoms (may I ask)?
Thanks and how are you doing?

Yes, I was just very unwell.
Nice to see you too.
IgE is implicated in allergies is all I know.

Don't usually visit here but saw this and interesting that Lymes also tests the IGG and IGM wonder what the difference is or what do the letters mean? Phillipa
