The Wheat Allergy Nutrient Deficiency Panel panel contains 4 tests with 6 biomarkers.
The Wheat Allergy Nutrient Deficiency Panel is a specialized diagnostic tool designed to evaluate levels of essential nutrients that may be deficient in individuals with a wheat allergy. Wheat allergy can lead to dietary restrictions that may result in the inadequate intake of vital vitamins and minerals, which are commonly found in wheat and wheat-based products. This panel assesses multiple B vitamins and iron, which are crucial for maintaining energy levels, cognitive function, and overall health. Identifying deficiencies helps healthcare providers develop effective nutritional interventions to ensure patients receive adequate nutrition despite dietary limitations.
This panel may be ordered for patients diagnosed with a wheat allergy or those who exhibit symptoms indicative of nutrient deficiencies, such as fatigue, weakness, anemia, or cognitive issues. It is particularly relevant for individuals who have recently eliminated wheat from their diet or those who have not adequately replaced wheat-based nutrients with alternative sources. The panel can also be used during routine follow-ups to monitor the nutritional status of patients with long-term wheat allergies, ensuring they maintain balanced nutrient levels.
The Wheat Allergy Nutrient Deficiency Panel includes several tests to measure levels of essential nutrients that might be lacking in a wheat-free diet:
Healthcare professionals use the results of the Wheat Allergy Nutrient Deficiency Panel to:
The Wheat Allergy Nutrient Deficiency Panel is an essential tool for managing the nutritional health of individuals with wheat allergies. By assessing levels of key vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6,, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12, and Iron, this panel helps healthcare providers identify deficiencies and develop effective treatment plans. Ensuring adequate nutrient intake through supplements and dietary modifications is crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing the complications associated with nutrient deficiencies. Regular monitoring and personalized nutrition plans based on the panel results support the long-term well-being of patients with wheat allergies.
