HOW THE KBMO FOOD INFLAMMATION TEST CAN HELP

KBMO Food Inflammation Test (FIT) Overview
The KBMO Food Inflammation Test (FIT) is a comprehensive blood test that measures sensitivity to a wide array of foods, additives, and other substances. By evaluating both IgG and Complement (C3d) reactivity, the FIT test provides a detailed insight into food-related inflammation, which can help identify triggers of chronic inflammation, digestive issues, and other related health problems. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what the KBMO FIT test evaluates:
Food Sensitivity Testing
  1. IgG Food Sensitivities
    • IgG Antibodies: Measures Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against a wide range of foods. Elevated IgG levels can indicate sensitivity or intolerance to specific foods, which may contribute to chronic inflammation and various symptoms.
  2. Complement (C3d) Activation
    • Complement Reactivity: Assesses the activation of the Complement system (C3d) in response to specific foods. This provides a more accurate indication of inflammatory reactions, as C3d activation is associated with a higher inflammatory response than IgG alone.
Food Categories Evaluated
  1. Dairy Products
    • Cow’s Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, Casein, Whey: Common dairy products that may trigger sensitivities leading to gastrointestinal discomfort, skin issues, and other inflammatory symptoms.
  2. Grains and Gluten
    • Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats, Gluten: Evaluates sensitivities to gluten-containing and gluten-free grains, which can be critical for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
  3. Meats and Seafood
    • Beef, Chicken, Pork, Fish (e.g., Salmon, Cod), Shellfish (e.g., Shrimp, Crab): Assesses reactivity to various animal proteins that may contribute to digestive issues and systemic inflammation.
  4. Fruits and Vegetables
    • Apple, Banana, Orange, Tomato, Potato, Spinach, Broccoli, Carrot: Tests for sensitivities to a wide range of fruits and vegetables, which are common components of many diets.
  5. Nuts and Seeds
    • Almond, Peanut, Walnut, Sunflower Seed, Sesame Seed: Identifies sensitivities to nuts and seeds, which can be particularly relevant for those with nut allergies or intolerances.
  6. Legumes and Pulses
    • Soybean, Lentil, Chickpea, Pea: Evaluates reactivity to legumes, which are common in many vegetarian and vegan diets.
  7. Herbs, Spices, and Additives
    • Garlic, Ginger, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Food Coloring, Preservatives: Includes testing for common herbs, spices, and food additives that can trigger inflammatory responses.
Key Markers and Insights
  • Dual Marker Approach (IgG and C3d):
    • Enhanced Specificity and Sensitivity: By measuring both IgG and Complement (C3d), the FIT test provides a more accurate picture of food sensitivities and their inflammatory potential, reducing false positives and offering clearer insights into food-related reactions.
  • Chronic Inflammation Indicators:
    • Identifying Triggers: Helps pinpoint specific foods that contribute to chronic inflammation, which can be linked to conditions such as IBS, migraines, eczema, and other inflammatory disorders.
  • Digestive Health Insights:
    • Gut Health Correlation: Provides information on foods that may be causing or exacerbating digestive issues, such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation.
Clinical Insights
The comprehensive data provided by the KBMO FIT test offers valuable insights into:
  • Personalized Dietary Recommendations: Identifies specific foods that should be eliminated or reduced to decrease inflammation and improve overall health.
  • Chronic Inflammatory Conditions: Helps manage and potentially alleviate symptoms of chronic inflammatory conditions by removing inflammatory food triggers.
  • Digestive Health: Supports the identification of food sensitivities that contribute to gastrointestinal discomfort and gut health issues.
  • Immune System Support: By identifying and addressing food sensitivities, the test aids in reducing the immune system’s inflammatory burden, supporting overall immune function.
Personalized Wellness Plans
The detailed information from a KBMO FIT test allows practitioners to:
  • Develop Elimination Diets: Create customized elimination diets to remove identified food triggers and reduce inflammation.
  • Reintroduce Foods Strategically: Guide the strategic reintroduction of foods to monitor reactions and ensure long-term dietary balance.
  • Optimize Nutritional Intake: Provide tailored nutritional advice to ensure balanced intake of essential nutrients while avoiding reactive foods.
  • Improve Gut Health: Implement gut-healing protocols to repair intestinal lining and support healthy digestion, reducing overall sensitivity.
  • Manage Inflammatory Conditions: Offer targeted lifestyle and dietary interventions to manage and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions.
