Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 8 MRT-tested substances, including various grains, nuts, and chemical derivatives. The presence of ‘natural flavor’ introduces additional unknown variables. Due to the high number of triggers and the inclusion of multiple whole food categories (grains, nuts, legumes), this product is incompatible with early LEAP phases and requires guidance from a Certified LEAP Therapist.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Oat is independently tested on the MRT panel. Found in oatmeal, granola, and many "gluten-free" products that use oat flour. Distinct from wheat sensitivity.
Cane sugar sensitivity is specific to sugarcane-derived sweeteners and is distinct from glucose intolerance. Look for it in ingredient lists as sucrose, cane juice, or turbinado sugar.
Canola oil (derived from rapeseed) is an MRT-tested substance. It is one of the most common cooking oils in processed foods and restaurant cooking. Look for it in fried foods, dressings, and baked goods.
Rice is often used as a "safe" base in elimination diets, but some patients do react to it. Verify with your MRT results before assuming rice is safe for your Phase 1 rotation.
Coconut is tested as an individual substance on the MRT panel. Found as coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut cream, and coconut flour — all common substitutes in dairy-free and paleo diets.
Tree nut tested individually on the MRT panel. Almond flour and almond milk are common substitutes in elimination diets — verify your personal MRT results before using.
Soy lecithin is one of the most ubiquitous food additives, used as an emulsifier in chocolate, baked goods, and margarine. Even small amounts can trigger mediator release in sensitive patients.
Soy-derived ingredients appear in a wide range of processed foods including soy lecithin, soybean oil, and textured soy protein. One of the most prevalent hidden triggers.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 8 identified triggers, this product has a high concentration of MRT-tested substances. The probability that at least one of these triggers is reactive on your personal panel is statistically significant.
This product is not recommended during Phase 1 (Elimination) or Phase 2 (Reintroduction). It may only be considered during Phase 3 (Maintenance) after your Certified LEAP Therapist has confirmed that all 8 substances scored Green on your individual MRT results.
Products with 3 or more MRT panel triggers require individualized evaluation. Do not attempt to self-assess — your CLT has the clinical training to weigh multiple reactive substances and potential cross-reactivity.
