Clinical Utility
The Food Sensitivities and Gut Imbalance Panel is a laboratory test that combines the Organic Acids Test (OAT) and the IgG Food MAP with Candida and Yeast. It measures 76 organic acids and IgG antibodies to 190 foods, herbs, spices, and Candida/yeast. This panel assists healthcare providers in identifying food sensitivities and gut imbalances, which may contribute to various symptoms and conditions. By pinpointing specific sensitivities and metabolic markers, clinicians can tailor personalized dietary and therapeutic interventions to support gut health and overall well-being.
