● Greater reproducibility of results across testing runs [64]
● Improved clinical correlation with symptom presentations [65]
● More specific guidance for designing elimination diets [66]
These advantages make Array 10 particularly valuable for patients
with complex presentations or those who have shown limited
improvement with conventional food sensitivity-guided
interventions [67].
Limitations and Considerations
Despite its advanced technology, practitioners should be aware
of certain limitations when using Array 10:
Testing Limitations
Several factors may affect test results and their interpretation:
● Recent use of immunosuppressive medications may reduce
antibody production [68]
● Severe immunodeficiency can result in false negatives [69]
● Extreme elimination diets prior to testing may temporarily
reduce antibody levels [70]
● Testing captures a moment in time; immune reactivity can
evolve [71]
Clinical Context Integration
Array 10 results should always be interpreted within the broader
clinical context:
● Symptom correlation remains essential for determining
clinical relevance [72]
