Vibrant America IBSSure

BS is the most common GI disorder that affects the large intestine (colon), commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation. It does NOT cause changes in bowel tissue or increase your risk of colorectal cancer. Recent research has shown that up to 84% of those with IBS test positive for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).

SIBO is an overgrowth of excessive bacteria in the small intestine. It’s frequently the cause of chronic diarrhea, bloating, nutrient malabsorption, brain fog, anxiety, intestinal permeability. weight loss or gain, nutritional deficiencies, food intolerances, and osteoporosis.

Vibrant IBSSure™ may help to identify patients with IBS-D related SIBO. This blood test can reduce costs, reduce potential false-negatives associated with the current industry standard, the breath test, and assist with monitoring for SIBO recurrence.

If your result is positive, it is highly likely that you have IBS related SIBO. If IBSSure is inconclusive, you may benefit from the hydrogen/methane breath test. If you are taking steroids, anti-inflammatory medications, biologic agents, or any other immunosuppressive medications, you may not get an accurate reading of your antibody levels.

Vibrant Wellness Lectin Zoomer

The Lectin Zoomer is a unique test which detects IgA and IgG antibodies to lectins (barley, bell pepper, chickpea, corn, kidney bean, cucumber, lentil, lima bean, mung bean, pea, peanut, potato, rice, rye, soybean, and tomato) and aquaporins (spinach and tobacco).

Some Symptoms of Lectin Sensitivity
  •  Fatigue and tiredness

  • Presence of skin rashes

  • Frequent use of antibiotics

  • Nausea (during or after meals)

  • Psychological symptoms or disorders (e.g., depression)

  • History of rheumatoid arthritis (painful and swollen joints)

  • Neurological autoimmunity or degenerative symptoms of undefined origin

  • Those with known intestinal permeability, (can be tested with Wheat Zoomer test)

     

What are Lectins?

Lectins are a large class of sugar-binding proteins that can be found in all forms of life. Common foods with lectins are grains, legumes, and nightshades. In plants, lectins are part of the natural defense against microorganisms, pests, and insects. Lectin sensitivity is when dietary lectins bind together and contribute to microbial imbalances, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), and immune system activation contributing to autoimmune issues, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

Cyrex Array 2: Intestinal Antigenic Permeability Screen

 

A test that identifies how gluten is robbing you of gut health.

Gluten causes inflammation in the gut, which can eventually lead to intestinal permeability, or “leaky gut.” Leaky gut allows undigested food particles, bacteria, and other pathogens to escape into the bloodstream where they can trigger allergies, sensitivities, and inflammation in other parts of the body. This test pinpoints which of these is causing leaky gut so your practitioner knows what to specifically target for faster and more efficient gut repair.

Cyrex Array 3: Wheat/Gluten Proteome Sensitivity and Autoimmunity

 

More than one wheat protein can cause Gluten Sensitivity – Cyrex Labs tests for multiple peptides of gluten

Being Gluten Sensitive isn’t as black-and-white as once thought. Actually, gluten is a misnomer – “gliadin” is the portion of wheat that triggers an immune response in people. It also has been discovered that wheat is made up of more than 100 different components that can cause a reaction, not just one (gliadin).

Cyrex Array 4: Gluten-Associated Sensitivity and Cross-Reactive Foods

 

In cross-reactivity, the body may mistake another food for gluten and react accordingly.

One of the most frustrating scenarios for both the practitioner and the patient is when a gluten-free diet fails to have any effect on a person who seems so clearly gluten sensitive. Newer research shows this may be due to cross-reactivity. In cross-reactivity, the body mistakes another food for gluten and reacts accordingly. Array 4 tests for 24 different foods that may be causing cross-reactivity or are newly introduced to the diet or over-consumed favorites.

Cyrex Array 5: Multiple Autoimmune Reactivity Screen

 

Which parts of the body are affected by a gluten-sensitivity?

People typically shrug off the possibility of gluten sensitivity by saying, “I don’t have any digestive problems.” Little do they know that gluten produces digestive symptoms in only a minority of people (1 out of 8). For the majority, gluten can damage the brain, the heart, the skin, the respiratory tract or the joints. Ideal candidates have one or more of the following:

  • Have a family history of autoimmunity
  • Suspect an autoimmunity
  • Have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, as they commonly develop additional autoimmune conditions
  • Have increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut)

Benefits include:

  • Economical / Effective way to assess possible tissue damage to multiple organs of the body, including Cardiovascular, Endocrine, Joint, Gastrointestinal and more.
  • Assess elevated numbers of antibodies, known as Predictive Antibodies, which are measurable up to ten years before the clinical onset of the disease.
  • Identification at this early stage allows for the possible arrest or even reversal of disease progression.

Array 20 – Blood Brain Barrier Permeability

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a physical barrier formed by the arrangement of endothelial cells and tight junctions that line the capillaries which supply blood to the brain. It is a highly selective barrier that restricts the movement of molecules from the blood across to the brain. The BBB naturally permits the passage of essential metabolites, small hydrophobic (lipid soluble) molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, etc. Acting like a filter, the BBB prevents the entry of infectious agents, toxins and other environmental triggers into the nervous system.

Ideal candidates have one or more of the following:
  • Repeated head trauma (ie contact sports players)
  • Force/shock to the body or head
  • Intestinal permeability (leaky gut) with abnormal elevation in LPS and or occluding/zonulin antibodies
  • Changes in cognitive function

Benefits include:

  • Early investigation in management of contact sports-related traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Evaluation of breach of the BBB by stress, trauma, or environmental triggers – in absence of apparent concussion/brain injury
  • Assist in assessment of increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders (including MS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Senile Dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Epilepsy, and Stroke)
