Hi. I have several challenges with the Food Sensitivity panel that are preventing me from using it with more patients, and I'd like to use it a lot more. First, the Gluten Containing Grains section includes Corn and Oats. Having to explain to patients why these are listed this way puts me in a very bad position and makes it look like I don't know what I'm doing. There is no acceptable reason to have Corn and Oats in this section, even if they contain a different type of gluten. Corn and Oats need to be listed under Gluten Free Grains. (And if you're using contaminated oats, then we have another issue.) Including Vegan Cheese anywhere on this test is very confusing and actually embarrassing. It's not a single food, and you can't even tell us exactly what is in it, only what might be in it. Please drop this from the report. Curry powder is similar, but at least I can tell people what it includes (after having to look it up each time). I would much prefer that you either dropped curry powder, or at least list all of the ingredients on the report (where the result is, not just with the additional information later in the report). And on the Food Personalization Summary report, I recently got results where Cow's milk was low, Whey protein was low, but Beta-casein was moderately high and Cheddar cheese was high. The summary report listed cow's milk and cheddar cheese as reactive foods, but yogurt, buttermilk, and kefir as non-reactive foods. I believe that you have a problem with the logic system used to generate this report, because in this case none of those foods should be listed as non-reactive foods, because they can contain casein. I'm hopeful that you'll be able to improve this report soon, because once you do I'll be able to consider using it as my primary food sensitivity test. That would mean running several dozen tests per month. Sincerely, Stephen Wangen, ND IBS Treatment Center
