ABSTRACT:
A method for food sensitivity panel testing (for sensitivities other than gluten sensitivity) by detecting IgA antibodies in serum is disclosed. A method for testing stool samples for the presence of particular antibodies, which is more sensitive and less invasive than prior art testing methods, is also disclosed for diagnosing immunologic food sensitivities. These methods of diagnosis may be used alone or in combination to further enhance the accuracy of diagnosis.
