Cyrex Array 4 Gluten Associated Food Reactivity Screen 29 foods

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.

This 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.

 Once you’ve collected your sample, you’ll need to send it back to the lab via a next-day service. A prepaid return label will be sent with your test kit.

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.
