Why Experts Recommend MRT Testing To Identify (& Address) Food Sensitivities
If you’ve been suffering from digestive issues and discomfort related to your diet, but you still haven’t been able to pinpoint what you’re sensitive to, perhaps it’s time to try MRT testing. Let’s look at the benefits of measuring mediator release to identify problem foods.
We’ve made significant progress in recent decades when it comes to testing for food sensitivities, but millions of people still struggle to identify the root cause of their digestive discomfort.
Let's explore why MRT (mediator release testing) holds promise for a more accurate identification of food intolerance.
How Do I Know I Have A Food Sensitivity?
The only way to know for sure is to get tested. Still, if you’ve been experiencing bloating, fatigue, or allergy symptoms that other medical conditions or environmental factors can’t explain, food sensitivity may be the cause.
The MRT Solution
Nowadays, you can take an MRT – a blood test which measures your immune system’s reaction to approximately 170 foods and chemicals. MRT measures the effects that mediators have on inflammation, tissue damage, and vascular and biochemical markers.
Integrative Health and MRT expert Megan Pennington explains, “When you ingest a food or substance that causes a reaction, your immune cells release a variety of messengers called ‘mediators’ which put the body on red alert. Unfortunately, these same mediators cause inflammation, hormone changes, tissue damage, and a variety of other physiological changes that lead to chronic symptoms.”
What Makes MRT Stand Out From Other Testing Procedures?
MRT – which was developed and patented by Oxford Biomedical Technologies, Inc. – differs from other intolerance testing protocols, which measure levels of IgG (immunoglobulin G), IgE (immunoglobulin E), or histamine in the blood.
IgG antibody testing has become extremely popular, but these antibodies are rather markers of exposure, not necessarily intolerance. The best way to test for food sensitivities is to test for the end result, which is mediator release.
Take The LEAP
MRT is designed to work in conjunction with the LEAP (Lifestyle Eating and Performance) diet protocol. This, based on the results of the MRT, identifies and eliminates problem foods and chemicals. Potentially reactive foods are removed from your diet for short periods and then gradually reintroduced to assess tolerance.
This process calms and recalibrates your digestive tract and immune system, establishing a strong foundation for long-term healing.
How Long Does It Take To Feel The Benefits?
MRT/LEAP has been shown to create a significant reduction in symptoms within 7 to 10 days. Of course, everyone is different, so it may take longer or less time for others. The important thing is that it delivers helpful info that other tests and protocols don’t.
Traci, a recent MRT adopter, says, “I have Sjogren's and my experience with MRT testing has been very positive. I have experienced major relief of my most significant symptoms: brain fog, fatigue, general malaise, joint pain, and dryness within my ears.”
If you want to break free of food sensitivities and the pain and discomfort they bring, why not try MRT – the fast and accurate way to eliminate reactive foods.
