Many parents and children live restricted lives because of allergies.  They live day to day with the fear and uncertainty of an allergic reaction.  Did you know that studies have shown that three out of four children who are sensitized to peanuts may only be at risk for mild symptoms?

We offer the first and only FDA-cleared allergen component tests, developed by Thermo Scientific^®, to help physicians assess the risk of an allergic reaction and may help reassure patients when the risk for an allergic reaction is low and may help guide relevant dietary modifications to prevent unnecessary dietary restrictions.

Component Panel Options:

• Egg

Egg Allergen Component tests can help determine the likelihood of reaction to products baked with egg as well as the likelihood of allergy persistence.

• Milk

Milk Allergen Component tests can help determine the likelihood of outgrowing the allergy as well as the likelihood of a reaction to milk in baked goods (ex, waffles, muffins, cheese pizza).

• Peanut

Peanut Allergen Component testing can help identify which proteins your patient is sensitized to which in turn will allow the physician to prescribe the necessary precautions.  Studies show that 77.6% of patients sensitized to peanut may not be at risk for a systemic reaction.

• Soybean

Soybean Allergen Component testing will help determine if the IgE-mediated reaction is the result of primary sensitization or the result of cross-reactivity to tree pollen or legumes.

• Tree Nut

Tree Nut Allergen Component testing can help determine exactly which proteins you patient is sensitized to.  Tree nut allergy is the second most common allergy in infants and young children effecting approximately 0.5% of children in America.

We are exposed to many substances, natural and man-made in our everyday lives.  The Additives and Exposure Panel tests IgE and IgG responses to ten common substances that are known to be problematic.  Some items are FDA approved food additives, other substances are used in the manufacturing of everyday items used in the home or at work.

Serologic testing is the first step to confirm the diagnosis of Celiac Disease and differentiate CD from non-celiac gluten enteropathy.  The assay measures serum concentrations of IgA and IgG antibodies specific tTG, Gliadin and Deamdidated Gliadin Peptide.  Accurate and early identification of CD patients is important to ensure early treatment.

Screening for celiac disease consists of the following tests.

• Gliadin – IgG & IgA
• Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA & IgG
• Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA & IgG

“All disease begins in the gut” – Hippocrates

In theory, we should be able to digest just about any type of food we put in our mouths.  But changes in food processing and preparation not to mention lifestyle and stress mean our stomachs don’t always react well to everything we eat.  Moreover, the overuse of antibiotics expose our digestive tract to chemicals that alter this delicate balance between good bacteria and bad bacteria.  This is called dysbiosis, a bacterial imbalance and overgrowth of the wrong kinds of bacteria in the gut.  The Gastrointestinal Panel identifies food sensitivities, yeast and gut imbalance.

It is a comprehensive assessment for overall gut health.

GI Panel includes:

• 96 or 184 IgG Food Sensitivity Panel with Wellness Plan
• Candida Profile

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium commonly found in the mucus layer of the stomach.  H-pylori is considered the most common cause of gastric ulcers and is also a causative player in small intestinal overgrowth (SIBO).

Quantification of IgG against H. pylori is useful in determining an active or prior H-pylori infection. H. pylori has been linked to autism as well several skin disorders.

Candida overgrowth is the most common cause of systemic fungal infection and accounts for 80% of all major systemic fungal infections.  Symptoms may be attributed to food sensitivity because the invasive fungi can increase rapidly in number and permeate the digestive tract.  Diets high in simple carbohydrates have been found to increase rates of oral candidiasis.  Mild, chronic and polysystemic candidiasis can be positively diagnosed by the determination of high serum levels of IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies against Candida antigens.  Immune complexes are clusters of interlocking antigens and antibodies.  Normally, immune complexes are rapidly removed from the bloodstream.  Sometimes, however, they continue to circulate, and eventually become trapped in the tissues of the kidneys, the lungs, skin, joints, or blood vessels.  There they set off reactions with complement that lead to inflammation and tissue damage.

Test results include an interpretation and positive results are accompanied by The Candida Diet.

There are many Autoimmune Disorders that are insidious in their initial presentation causing ill-defined symptoms including unexplained fatigue. Autoimmune Disorders are the result of the immune system incorrectly recognizing the body’s own tissues as foreign and attacking them.

When the immune system attacks the body’s own cells, the production of autoantibodies is initiated. There are 2 types of autoantibodies, primary and secondary. Primary autoantibodies are pathogenic antibodies, which directly cause a disorder by damaging tissue or disrupting normal cellular functions. Secondary autoantibodies are biomarkers which indicate an underlying pathology. Both types may be used as diagnostic markers.

Positive results are accompanied by a complimentary Antiinflammatory Diet.

The Unexplained Fatigue Panel includes:

• Celiac (4 markers): tTG IgA & IgG, DGP IgA &IgG
• Connective tissue disease (2 markers): ANA Screen, dsANA
• Rheumatoid arthritis (3 markers): CCP IgG, RF IgM, RF IgA
• Thyroid markers (2 markers): TPO IgG, Tg IgG

Mold allergy and sensitivity is more prevalent due to our environment and other toxic exposures.  People who suffer from allergies may be more sensitive to mold.  Other susceptible populations may include asthmatics, children and infants, the elderly, or individuals with existing respiratory conditions or weakened immune systems.  The Mold Elimination Plan, environmental management and sublingual immunotherapy have shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms.

Over 40 million Americans are living with inhalant allergies.  Unfortunately, allergens sufficient to cause a reaction can be found extensively in the environment.  Prominent grasses, trees, weeds, including ragweed, plus indoor and outdoor molds have the potential to cause an allergic response.  Your doctor may ask you at which time of the year are you most troubled by allergies.  For example, pollen travels the most easily in hot, dry, windy weather, so these conditions can worsen your allergy symptoms.  Dust mites, pets and cockroaches are some of the most common indoor allergy triggers.  In order to get relief from allergy, patient history, early diagnosis and treatment is very important. Also be aware that environmental allergens often have cross-reacting food allergies.

IgE plays an essential role in allergic disease and also protects against parasitic worms.  Elevated Total IgE levels are an indication of allergies, atopic disorders, parasitic disorders or IgE Myeloma.  Typical symptoms include asthma, eczema, rhinitis, and sinusitis.  Total IgE measurements are not specific for the allergen causing the symptoms, but are used by some providers to screen patients for IgE related allergic disease.
