The Vibrant Food Zoomers provide the most in depth and accurate look at true food sensitivities— because they are tests that examine immune responses to peptides within these antigenic foods, compared to all other food sensitivity tests which measure antibodies to whole proteins, which are rarely actually what our immune systems are exposed to in real life during digestion.
General Reasons for Why You’d Want to Purchase a Food Zoomer Bundle:
You have an autoimmune disease.
You are especially sensitive (chemically sensitive, for example), manifesting in rashes, temperature dysregulation, coughing, running nose, watering eyes, excess sneezing after eating certain foods.
You’ve been unable to heal an issue despite multiple efforts—i.e. unable to lose weight despite great efforts, still have heartburn even with dietary avoidance, etc.
You have altered bowel function (symptoms of IBS, SIBO, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, excess gas/pain).
You have neurological or mood (example: anxiety) symptoms, even without any digestive/gastrointestinal symptoms.
What if I’m already eating a gluten-free diet? Do I still need this test?
Vibrant Wellness and The Funk’tional Nutritionist do NOT recommend a “gluten challenge” to anyone who is already aware they have adverse symptoms driven by gluten. However, with any antibody testing, if the antigen (in this case gluten or other peptides in wheat) has been removed for a significant amount of time (variable amongst individuals), the body will no longer mount an IgA/IgG antibody response and will render an antibody test as a “false negative”. Such is the case with our Wheat Zoomer test.
However, the Wheat Zoomer looks at more than gluten and wheat antigens. If you are still experiencing symptoms, it would be helpful to look at the intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) panel from the Wheat Zoomer.
On top of that, running a Wheat Zoomer can demonstrate a person’s true compliance in following a gluten or wheat free diet. AND indicate any cross contamination. It is extremely difficult to eliminate gluten 100%, and often people can obtaining gluten from a hidden source without knowing about it. This exposure will produce an antibody response, which will be picked up by the Wheat Zoomer.
Research suggests that a single exposure from gluten can elevate antibodies anywhere from 2-6 months. Therefore, while the Wheat Zoomer does hold a little more clinical utility and direction if a person is actively consuming gluten, there is still useful insight in an already gluten-free person.
