IgA, IgG, IgE - The difference

Post by Lilja »

Hi,
I have been trying to find a good explanation to the various immunoglobulin tests. Is this a correct summary?

IgG: Antibodies in the blood, fighting infections
IgA: Antibodies in the gut, preventing vira and bacteria to enter the mucosa of the gut
IgE: Antibodies in the blood, when we are allergic to something

My blood tests back in 2013, showed high antibodies against:

Banana S-IgG 110.20* < 0.35
Almonds S-IgG 0.44* <0.35
Broccoli S-IgG 6.69* <0.35
Mais/corn S-IgG 0.54* <0.35
Lemon S-IgG 19.82* <0.35

Does this mean that I can never eat the IgG foods again?
And what about IgA and IgE
