total IgE - what does it mean clinically?

[Guest guest]

Hello

How do I interpret an IgE report where the patient is negative to environmental pollens, animals, foods, etc but has an elevated total IgE of 177 (ref range < 114 kU/L)? What does this mean? Is she reacting to things not tested?

She has (+) thyroid antibodies (thyroglobulin and TPO) which have been declining over the last year of naturopathic treatment (yay!) and UNDA drainage. She does test mildly IgG positive for a number of foods. We were testing her due to chronic fatigue and nasal congestion, unresolved by following her blood type (O) diet, doing basic naturopathic therapies (probiotics, fish oil, UNDAs, homeopathy, castor oil to abdomen, dry skin brushing, etc.), and being wheat and dairy free.

Thank you, in advance!
