Dr Mandy DCN Podcast
This show is about how you can harness the power of your immune system to put your bladder pain to remission as I have done for myself and many of my patients. Nutrition is the single most important lever we have influencing our health and wellbeing for better or for worse. Each episode will discuss various tools we can use to optimize this lever, whether it is diet, nutrigenomics, environment, supplements or even mindset.

Precision Point Diagnostics- with Cheryl Burdette
In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Cheryl Burdette, ND, Founder & Education Director of Precision Point Diagnostics. Dr. Burdette guides us through a fascinating discussion on the research surrounding food sensitivities and allergies, emphasizing their crucial role in managing inflammatory and oxidative pathologies.
Summary:
The immune system has various ways of reacting to foods. By examining these immune complexes together, we can gain a clearer understanding, helping us determine the most effective dietary interventions for each patient and condition. Precision Point’s P88 Dietary Antigen Test offers practitioners an overview of four different types of immune-mediated responses. By eliminating these trigger foods, patients can reduce overall inflammation in their bodies.
Why Test for Food Sensitivities (IgG) and Allergies (IgE)?
Testing IgG and IgE provides practitioners with a clearer picture of the body’s internal responses. With this information, we can guide patients through nutritional therapy, reducing the body’s immune reactions.
Symptoms Associated with Food Reactions:
- Auto-immune conditions
- Histamine or mast cell activation syndrome
- Painful bladder or interstitial cystitis
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Decreased immune function
- Weight gain
- Depression/Anxiety
- Fatigue/Poor sleep
- Gas or bloating
- Gastroesophageal reflux
- Headache or migraine
- Hives, rash, eczema, or edema
- Joint pain and inflammation
- Poor absorption of valuable vitamins and minerals
Precision Point P88 Dietary Antigen Test:
The P88 Test is unique in its ability to test for both food sensitivities and allergies, detecting IgE, multiple classes of IgG, and complement, resulting in higher sensitivity.
Unique Features of the P88 Antigen Test:
- Measures four immune reactions with an optional fifth (sIgA)
- Identifies allergies that have developed tolerance (most tests only show allergic reactions, not adaptations)
- Provides an Immune Index, listing all foods from highest to lowest sensitivity
- Offers multiple diet choices for patients, catering to their symptoms
Don't miss this enlightening episode as Dr. Burdette shares invaluable insights on the importance of testing for food sensitivities and allergies!
