Uncover Food and Chemical Sensitivities with the Alcat Food Sensitivity Test
The Alcat Test (Antigen Leukocyte Antibody Test) uncovers foods and other substances that trigger chronic inflammation and related health conditions, such as gastrointestinal, respiratory, and joint issues as well as migraine, dermatitis, fatigue, and metabolic disorders.
The Alcat Test measures cellular reactions to over 450 substances.
Scientific studies using the Alcat Test to guide diet have shown significant improvement of many common symptoms.
To date, the Alcat Test has helped well over half a million people change their health.
How It works
A small sample of your blood is sent to the laboratory overnight where it goes through a multi-step quality assurance process. Your white blood cells are tested against foods and other substances in a process using an impedance methodology based flow cytometer. This is a very accurate way to determine if your relevant immune cells react to the test substance. Your results are presented in a clear, easy-to-read, and color-coded format. You will also have the option of having a 30-minute complimentary educational session to answer any questions you have about implementing your test results.
Sensitivity vs. Allergy
A so-called "true" or "classical" food allergy reaction usually causes immediate and dramatic symptom onset. These reactions can, in extreme circumstances, even be life threatening. Usually the respiratory system is most impacted.
Food sensitivity symptoms, on the other hand, are usually delayed and less acute. However, they can also lead to chronic inflammatory health issues, impacting almost any part of the body.
The different symptom presentation, different biological underpinnings, and overall different character of true food allergy versus food sensitivity, mean that different diagnostic approaches need to be applied.

Associated Conditions
Symptoms such as migraines, aching joints, fatigue, gastrointestinal, respiratory, skin, neurological, and numerous other disorders, have been linked to food sensitivity and chronic inflammation. The Alcat Test is designed to assess sensitivities to over 450 foods, chemicals, medicinal herbs, and other substances.
-
Gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), indigestion, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease
-
Metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, inability to lose weight
-
Inflammatory conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, arthritis or asthma, autoimmune disorders
-
Others, such as fatigue, headache, migraine, cognitive impairment
