Introduction
Food Sensitivities and related diseases affect at least 100 million people worldwide and cause a wide variety of illnesses ranging from skin rashes and headaches to chronic intestinal diseases.
Unbalanced or inadequate diets, enzyme deficiencies, stress, genetic predisposition, infections and inflammation, chemicals, drugs, environmental pollutants and toxins are all possible contributing factors in the development of food sensitivities. Research has shown that these factors may weaken both digestion as well as the protective defences in our intestinal tract allowing for allergens to more easily confront our overwhelmed immune system.
IgG + C3d
Testing for Complement (C3d) is a direct measurement of inflammation in the body – and is therefore a very important inclusion for any food inflammation test. Activation of Complement alongside high production of IgG antibodies makes it very clear as to what foods will need to be eliminated from your patient’s diet. The Food Inflammation Test (FIT) by KBMO measures both IgG(1-4) and Complement (C3d) – combining them into one easy-to-understand bar graph.
Candida
KBMO measure and use any candida overgrowth in the stomach/ dysbiosis as a precursor to leaky gut occurrence.Candida albicansinhabits the skin, mucous membranes, and intestine. If a person is reactive toC. albicans, this is an indication that proteins from this organism have entered the blood stream through the gut wall. This happens when the gut becomes leaky due to food sensitivities from other foods or direct injury.
Zonulin
Zonulin is a marker of intestinal permeability, otherwise known as leaky gut. If a patient has elevated Zonulin levels, the normal regulation of the tight junctions is compromised. This Zonulin marker is unique to KBMO as it is the only Zonulin assay which does not cross react with haptoglobin, properdin or any complement fragments. They have achieved this by creating a unique recombinant zonulin protein. By measuring the Zonulin antibody, it makes the assay also uniquely stable to avoid the fluctuations reported in Zonulin protein assays.
Occludin
Occludin is a marker of tight junction stabilisation and optimal barrier function. Elevated occludin indicates that the tight junctions are breaking down.
LPS
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are a major structural component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. Elevated levels of antibody against LPS may be indicative of Leaky Gut Syndrome and other gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases.
