COMPENDIUM ON FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE - Flipbook - Page 575
Determines whether mucosal immune dysfunction has progressed
to systemic autoimmune reactivity [78].
Array 10: Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen
Identifies systemic IgG and IgA reactions to foods, which can be
compared with mucosal IgA reactions on Array 14 to understand
the progression of food reactivity [79].
Additional Functional Assessments
Other testing modalities that can complement Array 14 include:
Comprehensive Stool Analysis
Provides information about digestive function, gut microbiome
composition, and local inflammation that impacts mucosal
immunity [80].
Organic Acids Testing
Can identify metabolic markers of dysbiosis that may be triggering
mucosal immune reactions [81].
Food Sensitivity Testing
Various methodologies that assess different aspects of immune
reactivity to foods [82].
Micronutrient Testing
Evaluates nutrient status important for mucosal barrier integrity
and immune function [83].
Case Examples: Array 14 in Clinical Practice
Case 1: Recurrent Sinusitis and Fatigue
A 38-year-old female presented with chronic sinusitis, post-nasal
drip, and progressive fatigue despite multiple courses of
antibiotics. Conventional allergy testing was negative.
