● Equivocal: Borderline values warranting monitoring
● Mild Reaction: Indicates early-stage immune response
● Moderate Reaction: Significant immune reactivity requiring
intervention
● Strong Reaction: Severe immune response requiring
immediate attention [49]
Interpreting Combined IgG and IgA Results
The dual antibody detection system provides additional clinical
insights:
● IgG only: May indicate newer or ongoing exposure
● IgA only: Often indicates mucosal immune reactions
● Both IgG and IgA: Suggests more established immune
reactivity and potential cross-reactivity with human tissues
[50]
Symptom Correlation
While immune reactivity doesn't always correlate directly with
symptoms, certain patterns may emerge:
● Neurological symptoms often correlate with reactivity to
foods containing lectins or aquaporins [51]
● Skin manifestations frequently associate with reactions to
food colorings and preservatives [52]
● Joint pain commonly appears with reactions to nightshades
and gluten-cross-reactive foods [53]
The comprehensive nature of Array 10 allows practitioners to
identify patterns that may not be evident in standard food
sensitivity testing [54].
