So for dinner, you had a wonderful spaghetti dinner. Next day, ugh, the Irritable Bowel Syndrome hits.

Which ingredient caused it? Was it the wheat in the spaghetti? "Oh no! I could be gluten-intolerant!" you think. Or, on deeper thought - "Maybe it was actually the tomato sauce? Or the Parmesan cheese? Or, could it have been the basil? Or walnuts?" Many people go on an Elimination Diet to sort it all out. But wouldn't it be awesome to just know right away what is going on? Don't travel towards health and wellness in the dark.

Yes, even a healthy bowl of cherries, bite of broccoli or even watermelon could cause any or a combination of debilitating symptoms. Mediator Release Testing (MRT) is oftentimes the answer. Have you ever had food allergy tests done? Well most of them do not really get to the root cause.  ELISA-based IgG or IgE testing are two very popular blood tests used by practitioners when they suspect adverse food reactions.  However, about 75% of the delayed dietary reactions in IBS, migraine and fibromyalgia are actually cell-mediated type IV hypersensitivity, a reaction not discovered with IgG or IgE methods.  MRT measures not just food reactions but sensitivities to food chemicals as well, which can be a great cause of discomfort for individuals.
