Ordering the Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen – Cyrex Array 10-90
Ordering the Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen – Cyrex Array 10-90 helps identify immune reactions to 90 different foods, including raw and cooked foods, food enzymes, lectins, and additives. This test is especially useful for people with ongoing digestive issues, skin problems, or unexplained symptoms that may be linked to food sensitivities. Interestingly, this test can also detect immune responses to food additives like meat glue and artificial colorings, which are often overlooked in standard food sensitivity panels.
Ordering this test provides:
- Detection of immune reactions to both raw and cooked forms of foods
- Assessment of immune responses to food enzymes and lectins
- Identification of reactions to food additives, including gums and artificial colorings
- Evaluation of both delayed and immediate immune responses (IgG and IgA)
- Comprehensive coverage of 90 foods, including grains, dairy, nuts, and more
Who Should Consider Food Sensitivity and Immune Reactivity Testing
People who experience ongoing digestive discomfort, skin rashes, or joint pain after eating may benefit from this test. For example, someone who feels tired and bloated after meals, despite eating a balanced diet, could use this test to pinpoint specific foods causing immune reactions.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Persistent headaches or migraines that seem to be triggered by certain foods
- Unexplained fatigue or brain fog that worsens after eating
- Recurring eczema or skin flare-ups with no clear cause
- Joint pain or stiffness that does not improve with standard treatments
- People with thyroid disorders who notice changes in symptoms after meals
Pinpointing immune reactions to foods can help guide dietary changes that may reduce symptoms like bloating, skin irritation, or joint discomfort. Delaying this test could mean continuing to eat foods that trigger immune responses, which may prolong symptoms and make it harder to identify the root cause.
How to Prepare for Food Immune Reactivity Screening
Fasting is not required for this test, but it is important to review the kit instructions before collecting your sample. Always follow any directions provided by your doctor or healthcare practitioner to ensure your sample is collected correctly and processed without delay.
