Individuals predisposed to IgA-mediated food intolerance usually experience intestinal inflammation after consumption of the offending food(s).  Subsequently, the intestinal mucosa releases Secretory IgA to neutralize the antigens.  SigA testing allows detection of mild, sub-clinical, and latent intolerance cases.

    Due to the collection mechanism involved, the saSCAN is not recommended for small children due to the possibility of accidental choking on the saliva collection "sponge".  Also, the intended patient should have eaten the foods screened by the saSCAN Secretory IgA Food Intolerance Test (e.g. - egg, milk, gluten & soy) within the 4-6 weeks prior to the collection of the saliva specimen.
