The LRA 238 Food Panel is a comprehensive food test that detects delayed hypersensitivities to:
LRA by ELISA/ACT® tests uses a breakthrough technology that allows the laboratory, for the first time, to observe immune reactions of specialized white cells (lymphocytes) just as they occur in your body. By looking directly at lymphocytes, the LRA detects all three types of delayed food and chemical hypersensitivities, type 2 (includes IgA, IgM, IgG), type 3 Immune Complex, and type 4 T cell-mediated.
The LRA 238 Food Panel should be considered when patients present with complex, long-term conditions or symptoms of food allergies.
Examples of symptoms commonly reported
The Test Results include information on the following:
Avoiding reactive items can break the cycle of impaired defense and repair, allowing your body to start the recovery and repair process.
Patients with strong reactions should avoid strong reactors for six (6) months to help reduce the burden on the immune system and restore their body’s ability to repair.
Patients with moderate reactions should avoid moderate reactors for three (3) months to reduce the burden on the immune system and restore their body’s ability to repair.
LRA 238 Food Panel also comes with nutritional, supplemental, and behavioral recommendations based on the patient’s answers to the health assessment questionnaire.
Note: This test cannot be ordered for patients under 2 years of age.
This test measures delayed hypersensitivities to 238 commonly consumed foods. It cannot be ordered for patients younger than two years of age.
