Anyone Know About Signet Labs Food Sensitivity Testing?

[Reba]

Signet Labs out of Florida. They offer a blood test that tests for food sensitivities, intolerances...

Cost is $560, unlikely that my insurance will pay.

You get a readout of 2 pages of food groups that shows you if you are mild or severely intolerant.

How do they tell this from a blood test?

Why did my gastro doc not offer this?

This was offered through an independant dietician's services group.

Is it a scam or legit?

Thanks!

I don't think it's a scam. Our pediatric GI recommended it to us. She gave me a name of a dietitian that will work with us. Part of the treatment plan is the LEAP diet and then the MRT(Median response testing). That's the blood test. Then the nutritionist will make a rotation diet based on that. I got a lot of info. We haven't started yet though. The nutritionist called our insurance and she said the testing part will be covered but we have a $195 copay.

Good luck, let me know if you go through it.

Thank you for the reply!

I am going to email my gastro just to get his input and do a bit of internet research as well but will do it unless I find a red flag.

And yes, the dietician talked about the rotation diet as a way to desensitize for food intolerances.

We are still new to this "maybe it is something you are eating" path(it is my teen daughter with the GI-mostly abdominal pain but also joint pain issues) with highly positive for gluten intolerance results from stool testing with Enterolab (results not recognized by my gastro) and negative celiac blood testing and still symptomatic when gluten free. Sooo confusing since everyone says somnething different.

They said 20 days for result. I will share results if we do it.

Thanks!
