If you have been listening to the gluten free summit then you will be aware of the Cyrex gluten sensitivity / cross reactive arrays and other immunological panels being discussed. They are now available in the UK through a lab called Regenerus regeneruslabs.com/ I have used them myself and for my family and clients and they are brilliant - I have also summarised some information on the tests if anyone is interested advancenutrition.co.uk/site...

Cyrex Tests Information - Gluten Free Summit
Hi bicycle,
Thanks very much for the info.
I have a friend who may be struggling at the moment. Standard coeliac tests have come back negative but many of the symptoms match for gluten sensitivity. Have you any idea how much the Cyrex tests cost to have done if you have to go private?
Hi Regalbirdy - each array varies in cost - a clinic like mine can ordered them direct from the US so it varies also a little with the dollar but roughly the wheat and gluten panel is around £220-£250 which includes a 15 mins chat to go through the results too and explain what they mean - that array which is array 3 includes the following
Wheat IgG
Wheat IgA
Wheat Germ Agglutinin IgG
Wheat Germ Agglutinin IgA
Native + Deamidated Alpha-Gliadin-33-mer IgG
Native + Deamidated Alpha-Gliadin-33-mer IgA
Alpha-Gliadin-17-mer IgG
Alpha-Gliadin-17-mer IgA
Gamma-Gliadin-15-mer IgG
Gamma-Gliadin-15-mer IgA
Omega-Gliadin-17-mer IgG
Omega-Gliadin-17-mer IgA
Glutenin-21-mer IgG
Glutenin-21-mer IgA
Gluteomorphin+Prodynorphin IgG
Gluteomorphin+Prodynorphin IgA
Gliadin-Transglutaminase IgG
Gliadin-Transglutaminase IgA
Transglutaminase-2 IgG
Transglutaminase-2 IgA
Transglutaminase-3 IgG
Transglutaminase-3 IgA
Transglutaminase-6 IgG
Transglutaminase-6 IgA
The cross reactive panel is similar price - a little cheaper and includes
Rye, Barley, Spelt, Polish Wheat IgG + IgA Combined
Cow’s Milk IgG + IgA Combined
Alpha-Casein & Beta-Casein IgG + IgA Combined
Casomorphin IgG + IgA Combined
Milk Butyrophilin IgG + IgA Combined
Whey Protein IgG + IgA Combined
Chocolate (Milk) IgG + IgA Combined
Oats IgG + IgA Combined
Yeast IgG + IgA Combined
Coffee IgG + IgA Combined
Sesame IgG + IgA Combined
Buckwheat IgG + IgA Combined
Sorghum IgG + IgA Combined
Millet IgG + IgA Combined
Hemp IgG + IgA Combined
Amaranth IgG + IgA Combined
Quinoa IgG + IgA Combined
Tapioca IgG + IgA Combined
Teff IgG + IgA Combined
Soy IgG + IgA Combined
Egg IgG + IgA Combined
Corn IgG + IgA Combined
Rice IgG + IgA Combined
Potato IgG + IgA Combined
Hope this helps
Should have also mentioned that like other antibody tests you would need to be eating gluten to do the gluten panel. If you have taken in out but still want to do the test you can introduce it for 2 weeks - eating the equivalent of 1/2 slice toast a day then you need to wait around 20-25 days for the antibody levels to rise then take the blood test.
Does your clinic also do genetic testing?
Yes - there are whole range of genetic tests now available via practitioners such as myself including the HLA gene but also others such as those linked with Crohn's disease, poor methylation, sulphation, neurotransmitter function, thyroid DI02 etc. Please contact the clinic for further information
what great information . thanks
