Inflammatory food reactions and elimination-priority context

Questions this test can help frame

Which foods are worth removing first?

Could gut patterns be driving reactivity?

Is this sensitivity, allergy, or a broader immune conversation?

Testing philosophy

Why specialty testing is different

Normal is not the same as optimal, and a test is not the same as interpretation.

Standard labs often answer Specialty testing can help ask Is anything clearly out of range? Are there early patterns worth investigating? Do you meet a diagnostic threshold? What could explain symptoms before a diagnosis exists? Is one marker abnormal? How do multiple systems connect?

Next-step context

The report is only the beginning

MRT Food Sensitivity Test Most food sensitivity tests measure a single immune pathway — IgG antibodies — which covers only a fraction of how the body actually reacts to food. The Mediator Release Test (MRT) measures the end result of all immune pathways simultaneously: when your blood is exposed to each of 176 foods and food chemicals, the test quantifies how much your white blood cells shrink, reflecting the actual inflammatory mediator release. The result is a more complete and clinically accurate picture of food-driven inflammation than IgG testing alone. Foods are categorized as reactive (red), moderately reactive (yellow), or non-reactive (green), providing a clear roadmap for an elimination protocol. This test requires a blood draw, completed through a mobile phlebotomist. Once you have your results, you can add on a new patient session with a Nuvitru provider to build your personalized elimination and reintroduction plan. Mobile phlebotomy required (fee not included) | 176 foods and food chemicals tested Testing does not replace diagnosis or treatment from your physician. Availability, requisition requirements, and state restrictions should be confirmed before fulfillment.

Fit

Is this the right test for you?

A good fit if...

You want data before choosing a protocol

You are ready to review results in context

You value patterns over single pass/fail ranges

You want a clearer next step

Maybe not the right fit if...

You need emergency or urgent care

You want a diagnosis without clinician evaluation

You want the lab alone to create your plan

A different test may be a better first step

FAQ

Questions patients ask before ordering

Is this a diagnostic test?

No. It is an educational and clinical decision-support tool and does not diagnose or treat any condition.

How long do results take?

Most results return about 2-3 weeks after the lab receives your sample. Timing can vary.

Can I order this without becoming a patient?

Yes, but the care plan or new patient session is where the results become a plan.

What happens after results come back?

Results are uploaded into your patient portal and you can schedule interpretation if you want help connecting the dots.
