Description
"Many chronic conditions - from IBS and digestive problems to migraines to depression and mood disorders - may be indicators of a food sensitivity. Common offenders include dairy and gluten, but food sensitivities can be complex and difficult to pinpoint. In many cases, a less obvious source may be causing or contributing to a patient’s symptoms.
Our 208 Food Panel offers comprehensive testing to identify food sensitivities to both common and less prevalent offenders that, in some cases, a patient may not even realize are in his or her diet. It is an ideal choice for patients who eat a broad range of foods and cuisines. Once identified, trigger foods can be controlled to relieve symptoms and help patients lead their healthiest lives.
"
Methodology
quantitative ELISA(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) anaIysis of specific IgG, IgG4, and IgA antibodies
When should I use
Consider the 144 IgG Food Panel as it assesses intolerances to dairy, meats, seafood, spices, nuts, fruits, and more. This test helps identify specific food triggers linked to symptoms like digestive issues, skin problems, and inflammation, guiding personalized dietary adjustments.
If the patient is taking steroids, immunosuppressant medications or other medications that may suppress antibodies please check if it is appropriate for them to test.
