Food Sensitivities and Gut Imbalance [Organic Acids Test + IgG Food MAP]

Description

Food Sensitivities and Gut Imbalance [Organic Acids Test + IgG Food MAP]

A dual urine and blood test panel that provides a comprehensive assessment of
both functional gut health and immune-mediated food sensitivities. It combines
the Organic Acids Test (OAT) and the IgG Food MAP, offering insight into
metabolic imbalances, microbial overgrowth, detoxification capacity, and
immune responses to commonly consumed foods. The OAT evaluates over 70 markers
related to intestinal yeast (like Candida), bacterial dysbiosis, oxalate
levels, neurotransmitter metabolism, mitochondrial function, nutrient
deficiencies (B-vitamins, antioxidants), and detox pathways. This helps
identify internal biochemical stress that may be contributing to chronic
symptoms. The IgG Food MAP measures delayed immune responses (IgG) to 190+
foods, including dairy, gluten, grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, meats,
seafood, and additives, to detect food sensitivities that may contribute to
inflammation, gut permeability, and systemic symptoms. This panel is ideal for
patients experiencing digestive discomfort, fatigue, skin conditions, or
autoimmune flares, especially when symptoms are suspected to be food-related
but not immediately reactive.

Categories by Disease

• Functional GI disorders (IBS, dysbiosis, SIBO, candida overgrowth)
• Autoimmune diseases with food-related flares (e.g., Hashimoto’s, eczema,
  arthritis)
• Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
• Migraine or dermatologic conditions with suspected food links
• Neurological and behavioral issues influenced by gut-brain interaction

Categories by Symptoms

• Gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, irregular bowel movements
• Fatigue, brain fog, headaches, or mood swings
• Skin rashes, eczema, or acne flare-ups
• Reactions to multiple foods or “healthy” foods
• Behavioral issues or poor focus in children

Categories by Lifestyle

• High consumption of processed or repetitive foods
• Use of antibiotics or PPIs affecting gut flora
• Gluten/dairy-heavy diet or restrictive eating
• Stress-related digestive issues
• Those interested in personalized nutrition or gut healing

Categories by Diagnostic Methods

• Urine-based Organic Acids Test via mass spectrometry
• Blood-based IgG ELISA test to 190+ foods
• Together, results guide targeted food eliminations, gut repair protocols,
  and nutrient repletion strategies
