Precision Point Diagnostics P88 Dietary Antigen Test Quick Interpretation with Dr. Cheryl Burdette

A quick interpretation of our most popular test, the P88 DAT

Many people realize that they are having issues with food and can tell something in their diet is affecting them. They are often recommended a skin-prick allergy panel or perhaps a conventional blood test and may find some answers but not the entire solution. This type of allergy testing is useful but only looks at one way we react to foods. Common allergy testing measures an immune response known as IgE. Our bodies can be inflamed in different ways, not only from IgE, but also total IgG, IgG4, and complement. A diet that minimizes foods that provoke these responses will decrease many types of inflammation and symptoms and is foundational to wellness. When we eat the least inflammatory diet, individualized to our body, we are optimizing our chances for health. Improving wellness is the key to being able to manifest our passions and stay engaged with the world around us. Inflammation, which can originate from food response, is at the heart of many conditions that are detrimental to health and quality of life. Considering that our gut would cover much of a tennis court if stretched from end-to-end, controlling even a small amount of inflammation in something this size provides huge benefits to our health.

Here is a quick lesson in how to interpret this test.
