“…King concluded that allergens do provoke psychological symptoms. However, there is considerable debate over the validity of these findings because of a question as to whether the subjects were truly blind to the challenge substances (Bell, 1987;Egger, 1988;Pearson & Rix, 1987). Brown, Gibney, Husband, and Radcliffe (1981) did a double blind challenge of 12 patients who had claimed to have benefited from diets in which foods to which they thought they were allergic had been excluded.…”

Empirical studies suggest a very high prevalence of atopic disorder in people with depression. Research indicates that individuals with allergy have cholinergic hyperresponsiveness and beta-adrenergic hyporesponsiveness in the autonomic nervous system. Evidence is reviewed that similar imbalances in central nervous system cholinergic-adrenergic activity play a casual role in depression behaviors. It is hypothesized that the allergic state or allergic reactions can accentuate cholinergic-adrenergic activity imbalances in the central nervous system of a small subgroup of people at risk for endogenous depression thereby producing depression symptomatology.

“…These symptoms are again sudden, recurrent and self-limiting. Over the last 10 years numerous studies have succeeded in demonstrating that both the recurrent abdominal pains and the headache can be caused by food allergy [6,16]. A study carried out by the authors in 1990 on 92 children suering from headache describes how the cephalalgic symptoms disappeared in 50% of the cases examined as the result of an elimination diet for one or more foodstus [15].…”

“…The LEAP program is a personalized dietary approach based upon the proven principles of the oligoantigenic diet 30,31 and implemented by eliminating moderate- to high-immune-reactive foods and chemicals identified by the LAA-MRT ® results. This is a novel approach in the clinical application of oligoantigenic diet therapy.…”

Introduction: Adverse reactions to foods and food additives have a critical role in clinical manifestations of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Personalized dietary modifications conducted under the supervision of a qualified health practitioner could considerably impact the clinical care and course of the condition. Objective: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of the Lifestyle Eating and Performance (LEAP) program based on the Leukocyte Activation Assay-MRT (LAA-MRT®) results in improving IBS symptoms and quality of life. Methods: The retrospective study included de-identified client records (n = 146) from private group practices seen by registered dietitians. The eligibility criteria were adults aged > 18 years old with an established diagnosis of IBS. Results: Participants were 46.7 ± 12.6 years old and had a BMI of 26.7 ± 6.1 kg/m2; the majority were female (87.0%) and followed-up by a registered dietitian for 10.1 ± 6.4 weeks. There was a significant reduction post-dietary intervention in overall Global Gastrointestinal Symptom Survey Scores (P < 0.001) and improvement in quality of life (P < 0.001). Conclusion: This study generates real-world evidence of an alternative treatment option for IBS using a personalized dietary approach. A more precise understanding of the effect of food intake reactions is vital for clinical improvements and enhancing health outcomes in IBS.
