P88 Dietary Antigen Test

This was offered to me as an option on my most recent visit. It's strictly an option and costs around $600 to have done. I've always had a 'weak' stomach that's gotten better as I have aged. I still struggle with it a bit. Wondered if anyone had an experience with this and would recommend the test?

A highly comprehensive test of immune reactions, Precision Point Diagnostics P88 Dietary Antigen Test helps you identify and address food allergies and food sensitivities in patients with chronic illness. Overt IgE-mediated food allergies can lead to hives, anaphylaxis, or digestive issues while delayed food sensitivities (IgG and IgG4) are linked to sinus problems, acne, gas, bloating, fatigue, constipation, autism, irritable bowel syndrome, and even depression.1 Identifying and eliminating food sensitivities can also assist in the healing of intestinal permeability.

Food Sensitivity Symptoms

Diarrhea or loose stool
Constipation
Gas or bloating
Heartburn
Rashes, eczema, or swelling
Joint pain or inflammation
Headaches or migraine
Congestion or runny nose
Sinus infections
Acne
Irritable bowel syndrome
Fatigue or poor sleep
Depression
Poor immune defenses
Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals

P88 Dietary Antigen Test results can lead to more precise treatment plans and better patient outcomes. Studies show that patients given an elimination diet based on the results of our food allergy and sensitivity testing experienced fewer headaches and less abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and bloating.2 Knowing exactly what foods your patient reacts to can help to avoid unnecessarily restrictive diets and treatment protocols that inadvertently expose your patient to his or her reactive foods.

The P88 Dietary Antigen Test interpretive report includes more restrictive and less restrictive elimination diets as well as analysis of immune reactions by food groups. This customized report not only helps the clinician use at-a-glance results in clinical practice but also better ensures patient compliance (see sample report).
