Case Application Examples
Case 1: Neurological Symptoms with Negative Celiac Panel
A 42-year-old female presents with persistent migraines, brain fog,
and fatigue. Standard celiac testing is negative.
● Array 3X Results: Negative for TG2 antibodies (explaining
negative celiac panel) but positive for gluteomorphin, WGA,
and TG6 antibodies.
● Clinical Interpretation: Gluten sensitivity primarily affecting
the nervous system rather than causing classic enteropathy.
● Array 4 Results: Positive for casein, coffee, and corn
antibodies.
● Intervention: Strict elimination of gluten, dairy, coffee, and
corn, with targeted support for the blood-brain barrier and
neurological function.
● Outcome: 80% reduction in migraines and significant
improvement in cognitive function within three months.
Case 2: Persistent GI Symptoms Despite Gluten-Free Diet
A 35-year-old male with confirmed celiac disease continues to
experience digestive symptoms despite six months on a
gluten-free diet with strict adherence.
● Array 3X Results: Declining but still positive antibodies to
multiple gluten peptides, confirming ongoing recovery.
● Array 4 Results: Strong positive reactions to oats, yeast, and
amaranth4all increased in his gluten-free diet.
● Intervention: Elimination of identified cross-reactive foods and
substitute alternatives.
● Outcome: Resolution of digestive symptoms within six weeks.
