There is an increasing awareness that foods may play a much larger role in immune reactivity than previously thought. We all eat food, and foods are a constant and sustained source of antigens, much more so than other things we may be exposed
What is being measured
Array 10 contains 180 foods
Array 10-90 contains 90 foods
Array 10-90X contains the remaining 90 foods that make up the 180 found on the Array 10.
This test is designed for people that want to split their testing due cost and findings.
The test looks at levels of IgA and IgG antibodies that are created when you react to a food.
This unique, revolutionary panel measures reactivity to 90 food antigens in the cooked, raw, modified or processed form on the same panel.
Cyrex has developed a new way of testing for food immune reactivity. This method arises from a foundation of science and medicine-

Before Taking A CYREX Test
While Cyrex is unable to provide an exhaustive list of medications due to the interactive complexities and varieties of medications and patient circumstances, the following has been noted:
a. Immunosuppressant and corticosteroid drugs can reduce antibody production and cause false negative results.
b. Limited assessments on the effects of aspirin, acetaminophen, and antipsychotics on Arrays 1-4 have been performed. No noticeable effects were observed.
PLEASE DO NOT STOP ANY MEDICATION UNLESS YOUR DOCTOR AUTHORISES IT.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE TEST INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL COME WITH THE TEST
Specimen requirements
Blood test that requires a blood sample. The blood sample will need to be centrifuged.
You can attend one of two laboratories in London to have the sample taken or you will need to arrange for a blood sample to be collected by a nurse at your G.P. service or at a private clinic or hospital. Any fee for this service is not included in with the test fee.
Returning your sample
You will need to send your sample back to the lab via a next day postal service – If you are in the UK, Royal mail offer a suitable next day service. If you are outside of the UK then please check with your postal service for options. The cost of the test does not cover the return postage.
Please note that samples should only be posted on Monday – Thursday so that they do not arrive over the weekend when the lab is closed.
Turnaround time
14 days or sooner.
