About inFoods® The inFoods IBS
test is designed to assess a patient’s above normal
immunoreactivity to specific foods utilizing a simple finger-stick
blood sample. Instead of difficult to manage broad dietary
restrictions, physicians can now use the inFoods IBS information to
make targeted, patient-specific recommendations about trigger foods
that, when removed from the diet, may alleviate IBS symptoms such
as pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. The inFoods IBS test
and clinical outcomes were studied at several prominent centers
including Mayo Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Inc. -
a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital, Houston Methodist
Hospital, and the University of Michigan. The clinical results for
improvement in the Abdominal Pain Intensity (API) responder
endpoint of >30% reduction in pain, for IBS patients in the
treatment diet arm was greater than patients in the placebo diet
arm (p-value of 0.0246). The improvement for patients in the
treatment arm versus the placebo arm is considered clinically
significant and for certain endpoints is similar and, in some
cases, better than the current drugs in the market. Further
