Cyrex Array 4 Gluten Associated Food Reactivity Screen 29 foods

This test looks at food that are cross reactive to gluten so that your diet can be amended.

The Gluten Associated Cross-Reactive Foods and Food Sensitivity Test identifies reactivity to foods known to cross-react to gluten such as wheat alternatives and the “ancient” grains. It also shows any possible reactivity to newly introduced foods on a gluten-free diet such as rice, quinoa, buckwheat and hemp to which you may be sensitised. Although you may be following a gluten-free diet, sometimes symptoms can persist or new ones develop. This test can help determine why your symptoms are still present.

This test is recommended if you:

  • Have non-coeliac gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease
  • Are experiencing limited improvements or are non-responsive on a gluten-free diet
  • Have gut dysbiosis, which appears to be resistant to standard therapy

 

 

Please note that a gluten-free diet can cause false negative results on gluten protein/peptide tests.

The cyrex array 4 gluten associated food reactivity screen 29 foods test is a blood test that requires a blood sample which will then need to be centrifuged. Centrifuge can be carried out at the lab if the sample is received within 24 hours of the blood draw.

You will need to arrange for a blood sample to be collected either at a laboratory in London, by a nurse at your GP service or at a private clinic or hospital. Any fee for this service is not included with the test fee.

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:
  • Immunosuppressants and corticosteroid drugs can reduce antibody production and cause false negative results.
  • Limited assessments on the effects of aspirin, acetaminophen, and antipsychotics on Arrays 1-4 have been performed. No noticeable effects were observed.
  • Inhalers can affect the results of Cyrex’s oral fluid testing (Array 1). Wait two weeks after the completion of inhalant dosages before collecting the specimen.
  • A gluten-free diet can cause false negative results on gluten protein/peptide tests.
  • Certain conditions, such as ileal pouch surgery, may cause a false positive coeliac serology.

Please do not stop any medication without your doctor’s consent.

 

Please return your sample using the prepaid return label.

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.

What if I have been avoiding gluten foods, can I test these with the Cyrex Array 4 test?

If you have been avoiding foods for a while the immune response can be reduced and it is possible to get a false negative results so you do need to have eaten the foods you are testing.

Re introducing Foods

Introduce the food every day for 7 days in ‘normal’ quantities – eat a sandwich, or piece of toast.
You can arrange your blood draw for  25 – 30 days after day 7.
I usually tell people if day 1 of eating gluten is Day 1. You want to run the test around Day 35. It doesn’t have to be precisely day 35, but if you aim for that then you’ll be good.
If you have been avoiding a broad range of foods we might recommend you do a full food reintroduction process of adding in 1 food at a time, waiting 3 days or so before adding in the next food to assess symptoms. If they get significant symptoms from the food, then it might be better to consider that a positive and leave it out and move on to the next food.
Once all the foods have been added in, which can take several weeks or even a couple of months depending on how many and how reactive you are, you can then do the blood test a month after the last food was added.
Please do not introduce any foods you know you are allergic too  – this is commonly shellfish and peanuts etc but can be any food and can result in a very strong reaction. If you are interested in testing your self for possible food allergies please visit this page.

Here is a video to assist you with how to introduce foods you may have been avoiding. Please consult your GP or practitioner before introducing any foods that you have been avoiding or have a known allergy to.
