First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of identifying foods that contribute to latent food intolerance in an individual, the method comprising:
- defining a group of food items representative of foods available to the individual;
obtaining corresponding food samples from the group of food items;
obtaining a blood sample from the individual;
identifying immunological response values in the blood sample to the food items;
arranging the response values in either descending or ascending order;
defining a function based upon the arranged response values, where the function includes a linear region and a non-linear region; and
identifying the food items corresponding to the response values in the non-linear region, where such food items are foods that contribute to latent food intolerance in the individual.

Abstract
A method of detection and correction of latent food intolerance (LFI) in humans is described. The method allows, through utilizing a dynamic analysis of a specific test for LFI, assessing the degree of food intolerance and devising an individualized diet that excludes food items which cause latent food intolerance, as well as food items which cause classic allergic reactions. Thus, this method promotes health throughout an individual'"'"'s life by avoiding and correcting the negative effects of food items that act as immune antagonists.

12. A method of identifying foods that contribute to latent food intolerance in an individual and foods to which the individual is tolerant, the method comprising:
-
defining a group of food items representative of foods available to the individual; obtaining corresponding food samples from the group of food items; obtaining a blood sample from the individual; identifying immunological response values in the blood sample to the food samples; defining a frequency response distribution of the response values, whereby the frequency response distribution includes a contiguous region and a non-contiguous region; identifying a first set of food items corresponding to the response values in the contiguous region, where the first set of food items are foods to which the individual is tolerant; and identifying a second set of food items corresponding to the response values in the non-contiguous region, where the second set of food items are foods that contribute to latent food intolerance in the individual. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. In a computer system, a method for identifying foods that contribute to latent food intolerance in an individual, the method comprising:
-
defining a group of food items representative of foods available to the individual; obtaining immunological response values from the individual for each of the food items in the group; identifying a demarcation point based upon the immunological response values that separates the group into a first group of foods that contribute to latent food intolerance and a second group of foods to which the individual is tolerant. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
