The Wheat Zoomer can detect:

1 in 7 individuals in the United States has a wheat-related disorder. Interestingly, many people who have a gluten or wheat sensitivity DON’T experience digestive problems. I have found wheat and gluten to be a “dealbreaker” in my clinical practice — if people are still consuming gluten, or experiencing cross-contamination — they may be unable to fully heal from chronic conditions and symptoms. 

There is no other test like the Wheat Zoomer on the market. It aids in the specific recognition of antibodies to wheat peptides—including gluten and non-gluten components, along with antibodies that indicate the presence of intestinal permeability/leaky gut. It is also a highly sensitive peptide-based array designed to detect autoimmune reactions to gluten.

This unique technology results in enhanced sensitivity and specificity compared to other platforms. The Wheat Zoomer has been validated at 99% specificity and sensitivity.

Wheat Zoomer can differentiate between permeability/leaky gut that is likely caused by gluten, and permeability/leaky gut that is more likely to be caused by bacterial overgrowth.

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.
