Array 4 - Gluten-Associated Cross-Reactive Foods and Foods Sensitivity
Performed by: Cyrex Laboratories
Many times, gluten-free foods, which are supposed to be safe, can be offensive to some individuals. This can be due to sensitivity or a phenomenon called Cross-Reactivity.
Once a patient is diagnosed as Celiac Disease (CD) or having Gluten Reactivity, he/she is instructed to adhere to a gluten-free diet. Brochures, books and websites help the patient with this seemingly difficult process. However, a significant percentage of these patients will continue to have gluten-like complaints even after being on a gluten-free diet (GFD) for months. Most countries define “gluten-free” products based on the recommendation of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations and World Health Organization.
This codex alimentarius allows the inclusion of up to 0.3% protein from gluten containing grains in foods labeled “gluten-free.” If the sensitive body is exposed to 0.3% protein, the immune system will recognize and react to the protein.
Testing for Gluten-Associated Cross-Reactive Foods and Foods Sensitivity in this array can assist the clinician in revealing the possible cause of this continued gluten-like reaction in the patient.
Recommended for patients who:
- Have Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or Celiac disease.
- Are experiencing limited improvements or are non-responsive on a gluten-free diet.
- Have gut dysbiosis, which appears to be resistant to standard therapy
