Cell Science Systems has developed the ONLY gut health profile that evaluates
the gastrointestinal (GI) tract on a genetic, antibody, and cellular level.
The Gut Health Profile (GHP)
consists of the following tests:
GENETIC:
HLA-DQ2.5 and HLA-DQ8
ANTIBODY:
Total Serum IgA
Tissue
Transglutaminase Antibody (tTG)
Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP)
Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP)
Anti-Saccharomyces
Cerevisiae Antibody (ASCA)
CELLULAR:
Alcat Food
Sensitivity/Intolerance Panel
Why is our Gut Health Profile (GHP) Important?
·
70-80% of the immune system is in the gut
·
GI disorders affecting almost 2 in 5 Americans
·
IBS affects up to 20% of the population
·
Crohn’s & Ulcerative Colitis affects up to
5-7% of the population
·
Celiac Disease affects between 1-3% of the
population
·
Functional Dyspepsia and Constipation affects up
to 15% of the population
Common Questions
Q: Is this a blood Test?
A: Yes, if you are ordering the full Gut Health Profile, 3
tubes of blood need to be drawn
Q: What if I am already gluten-free?
A: If you are already gluten-free, your antibody levels will
not be accurate. We have created a GENETIC-ONLY portion of the Gut Health Profile
(GHP) that contains a simple buccal swab.
Q. Is there a difference between Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten
Sensitivity?
A. Yes. Non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals are
sensitive to or intolerant of gluten grains and related grain proteins and
frequently show gastrointestinal symptoms similar to, but less severe, than
those in Celiac Disease.
Another important fact to remember is that gluten related
disorders are on a spectrum as stated by world expert Alessio Fasano, MD. He says
“Imagine gluten ingestion on a spectrum. At one end, you have people with
celiac disease, who cannot tolerate one crumb of gluten in their diet. At the
other end, you have the lucky people who can eat pizza, beer, pasta and cookies
– and have no ill effects whatsoever. In the middle, there is a murky area of
gluten reactions, including gluten sensitivity.”
