Dietary Proteins & Immune Reactivity
Immunologic Reactions to Dietary Proteins Higher Than Thought!
Did you know that up to 5x more “healthy” or GI asymptomatic people may be reacting to dietary proteins than previously thought? Dr. Kharrazian collaborated with Dr. Vojdani and Dr. Mukherjee to publish important research on immunological reactions to key dietary proteins in healthy subjects and the prevalence of these reactions in the general population.
The aim of the study was to look at the presence of IgG, IgM, and IgA antibodies against two widely consumed foods, wheat and milk. What they found will impact the way your patients may think about dietary sensitivities and the potential for cross-reactivity.
In this short video, Dr. Kharrazian describes and discusses these important, yet alarming, findings:
Why is this research important?
The prevalence of immune reactions to wheat and milk proteins in “healthy” individuals may be up to 5x higher than previously thought!
Removing dietary triggers may be a clinical approach to investigate in a broader segment of your patients.
Unidentified dietary reactions could be driving seemingly unrelated symptoms, such as brain-related issues, that you see every day!
