How can my Vibrant Food Sensitivity results show a reaction to wheat, but my Wheat Zoomer results show no reaction to wheat (or vice versa)?

Vibrant's Food Sensitivity test and Wheat Zoomer are measuring different things. Vibrant's Food Sensitivity test measures reactivity to whole, undigested, multi-dimensional proteins. Since proteins exist in an aqueous (i.e., watery) environment, reactivity to whole proteins is predominantly to the outer, water-soluble portions of the proteins. In contrast, Vibrant's Wheat Zoomer test measures reactivity to the small, typically not water-soluble, 2-dimensional peptides created when whole (wheat) proteins are digested (i.e., denatured and cleaved into small fragments). Antibodies to a whole, multi-dimensional protein will not recognize or bind small peptide fragments, even if those peptides are found in that whole protein, and vice versa.
