COMPENDIUM ON FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE - Flipbook - Page 637
Several other Cyrex panels provide complementary information
that can guide more targeted interventions:
● Array 2: Intestinal Antigenic Permeability Screen: Directly
assesses intestinal barrier integrity, which often correlates with
SIBO-related immune reactivity [38].
● Array 3X: Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity:
Evaluates immune reactions to gluten and wheat proteins,
which may be exacerbated by the increased intestinal
permeability seen in SIBO [39].
● Array 10: Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen: Identifies
food-triggered immune responses that may develop
secondary to SIBO-induced barrier dysfunction [40].
Integration with Organic Acids Testing (OAT)
Organic acids testing provides complementary information on:
Microbial Metabolites
Different markers of dysbiosis, including fungal overgrowth that
may coexist with SIBO
Mitochondrial Function
Often compromised in chronic inflammatory conditions
Neurotransmitter Metabolism
Offering insight into gut-brain axis effects
Nutritional Status
Revealing functional vitamin and mineral deficiencies
When combined with Array 22, organic acids testing can help
distinguish between different types of dysbiosis and guide more
targeted supplementation strategies [41].
