Abstract
Contemplated test kits and methods for food sensitivity are based on rational-based selection of food preparations with established discriminatory p-value. Particularly preferred kits include those with a minimum number of food preparations that have an average discriminatory p-value of ≤0.07 as determined by their raw p-value or an average discriminatory p-value of ≤0.10 as determined by FDR multiplicity adjusted p-value. In further contemplated aspects, compositions and methods for food sensitivity are also stratified by gender to further enhance predictive value.
Claims5
An irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) test kit panel consisting essentially of:
- a plurality of distinct IBS trigger food preparations immobilized to an individually addressable solid carrier;
- wherein the plurality of distinct IBS trigger food preparations each have an IBS raw p-value of ≤0.07 or an IBS false discovery rate (FDR) multiplicity adjusted p-value of ≤0.10;
- and
- wherein the IBS test kit panel has at least ten distinct IBS trigger food preparations.
