Lymphocyte Response Assays (LRA) Food SensitivityTest

Collection Method: Blood serum (mobile phlebotomist or lab)

​

ELISA/ACT Biotechnologies evaluates sensitivities to 166 commonly consumed foods, offering a detailed insight into potential triggers for inflammation and immune system dysregulation.

This comprehensive test utilizes cutting-edge technology to assess real-time immune activity of lymphocytes, detecting all three types of delayed hypersensitivities:

​

• IgG (Immunoglobulin G): Involved in delayed food reactions, but can also indicate tolerance or recent exposure. Not accurate on it's own.

• IgM (Immunoglobulin M): Involved in early -stage immune response

• IgA (Immunoglobulin A): Involved in food sensitivities related to GI mucosal immunity.

• Immune Complexes: Circulating immune complexes formed by antigens and antibodies

• IgE (Immunoglobulin E: Associated with immediate allergic reactions)

• T-cell mediated responses:  Assesses delayed reactions that are not antibody-driven but rather involve the cellular immune response (T-cells).

This multi approach makes it highly accurate for identifying a broader range of sensitivities and immune reactions, capturing those that might be missed by tests that only measure a single type of antibody. By pinpointing specific sensitivities, the test helps you tailor your diet and lifestyle for improved health and vitality. 

166 Food's tested:

• Beans/Nuts/Legumes/Seeds

• Vegetables

• Fruits

• Dairy

• Meats/Poultry

• Seafood

• Grains

• Flavor Enhancers

• Chemicals

​

This test is best combined with the comprehensive stool test, as food sensitivities cause intestinal inflammation and occur due to a gut health issue (i.e increased intestinal permeability or "leaky gut") which needs to be addressed in order to reintroduce reactive foods.

Ideal For:

If you're dealing with unexplained digestive issues, chronic inflammation, fatigue, skin rashes, or headaches potentially linked to food sensitivities, this test helps identify the foods triggering an inflammatory immune response. By pinpointing these triggers, you can make better dietary choices, reduce GI inflammation, and improve overall health by temporarily eliminating or reducing exposure while also strengthening gut health.
