0358149001560033655.jpgArray 2: Intestinal Barrier Integrity Screen (aka as Leaky gut)

A test that identifies how gluten is robbing you of gut health


Gluten causes inflammation in the gut, which eventually leads to intestinal permeability or leaky gut.  Leaky gut allows undigested food particles, bacteria, and other pathogens to escape into the blood stream where they can trigger allergies, sensitivities, and inflammation in other parts of the body.  This is a main reason why people can be allergic to many foods.  Several different mechanisms cause leaky gut:


breakdown of cells

loosening of the junctures of the gut lining

Bacterial infection


This test pinpoints which of these is causing leaky gut so we know what to specifically target for faster and more efficient gut repair.



Array 3: Comprehensive Gluten Sensitivity & Autoimmunity

More than one wheat protein can cause gluten sensitivity - we test for twelve


Being Gluten Sensitive isn’t as black and white as once thought.  Actually gluten is a misnomer, gliandin” is one portion of wheat that triggers an immune response in people (since “gluten” is commonly used, I will stick with that term).  It also has been discovered that wheat is made up of more than 100 different components that can cause a reaction, no just one (gliandin).


Most testing for gluten sensitivity has nobly been against one of those components, alpha gliadin.  Now Twelve components of wheat that most often provoke an immune response, is available for testing.


Array 3 also tests whether gluten has a drug-like opiate effect on an individual.  Is gluten affecting your brain?  Some people have enzymes in their digestive tract that break gluten down into epodes that act like her ion or morphine.  Embarking on a gluten free diet can cause terrible withdrawal symptoms in these people.


Another problem with opioids is they disrupt brain function by attaching to receptors sites normally meant for neurotransmitters.  Neurotransmitters are brain chemicals that help dictate our personality, moods, behavior, bodily function and more.


This opioid effect on neurotransmitters receptors explains why gluten plays a role in so many cases of ADD/ADHD., autism, or behavioral problems in children; or brain fog, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, anorexia and migraines in adults.  Array 3 screens for antibodies to the opioids produced from wheat called gluteopmorphins and prodynorphins.


This panel tests for multiple different aspects of wheat and not just gliadin, including proteins, peptides and enzymes associated with wheat.



Array 4: Gluten-Associated Cross-Reactive Foods

24 foods that cross-react with gluten or are newly introduced to a gluten free diet


One of the most frustrating scenarios is when a gluten free diet fails to have any effect on a person who seems so clearly gluten sensitive.  Newer research shows this may be due to cross-reactivity.


In cross reactivity the body mistakes another food for gluten and reacts accordingly. Array 4 tests for 24 different foods that may be causing cross reactivity.


Dairy-Cross reactivity is common with dairy, as its structure so closely resembles that of gluten. In fact 50 percent of people who are sensitive to gluten are also sensitive to dairy.


Coffee surpassingly can cross reactive with gluten, and has the highest rate of cross reaction with gluten.  In other words, some peoples immune system mistakes coffee with gluten, triggering a reaction. 


Amaranth and quinoa - Array 4 also tests for foods that many people eat for the first time on a gluten free diet, such as amaranth and quinoa.  Never having been exposed to these foods could trigger the immune system to respond as if these grains were foreign intruders, especially in the case of leaky and inflamed gut.


This panel has great clinical significance as it explains why some still react even after giving up gluten and even dairy.



Comprehensive Blood Panel with CBC/Differential with a Functional Medicine Approach

We perform a comprehensive, 56 point blood test to find the cause(s) of your health problem. Our lab interpretations are based on functional values and not standard lab values. Functional values are based on the healthy population and are narrow.  Standard lab values are based on a sick population and are broad.  Functional health care allows us to find the causes(s) of seemingly unanswerable health conditions.

To your good health,

Testimonials

  • I was very impressed with the chiropractic care I received from Dr. Anderson. I had received chiropractic in the past for my neck pain, but not to this level of care. After only a few sessions, my symptoms began to disappear, especially my neck pain, and I know I would not have been able to perform to my everyday work functions without the treatment I received.

  • I have benefitted tremendously from the chiropractic care I received from Dr. Anderson. Not only has the adjustments helped alleviate my stiffness and aches, but it has helped me have more energy and just feel more balanced over all. A few months ago, I was able to resume a favorite hobby of mine: golf. Due to my previous pain, I never thought that’d be possible.

  • Dr. Anderson has allowed me to be headache free for quite some time now. I used to have daily nagging headaches that often would turn into a migraine leaving me unable to function. For the longest time, I thought I could just keep taking medication to have the pain subside.
