Food and Inflammation
Patients with autoimmune diseases are typically given medications with limited success because the current medical ‘acute care model’ is given to a chronic problem while the underlying causes are never investigated.
There are some tests to consider for those with any health challenge, as great strides have been made in regards to what labs can test for today. There are labs that assess food sensitivities, which is different than the IgE RAST test performed by traditional allergists. Cyrex lab is the most reliable testing center and they also can test for intestinal permeability. Through the serum they are able to detect antibodies to LPS, occludin/zonulin and the actomyosin network to identify the breakdown of a healthy intestinal barrier. In addition, a comprehensive digestive stool analysis (through Genova Labs) is essential for assessing and then healing the gut.
It is also very important to check vitamin D levels and to test for gluten-associated antibodies and cross-reactive foods since they play a large role in inflammatory and autoimmune processes.
