The ALCAT Test is a type of food sensitivity testing that identifies cellular reactions to over 350 foods, chemicals and herbs. These inflammatory reactions are linked to chronic health problems like obesity and diabetes, as well as skin, heart, joint, and digestive disorders.
Who Should Test?
Gastrointestinal Disorders, e.g. Diarrhea /Constipation, Bloating, IBS, Gastritis, Reflux, Associated Malabsorption (nutritional deficiencies)
Skin Symptoms, e.g. Ec-zema, Psoriasis, Rashes, Ker-atosis Pilaris, Urticaria, Acne

Respiratory Disease, e.g. Chronic Cough, Wheezing / Bronchoconstriction, Sinusitis
Metabolic / Endocrine Disorders, e.g. Obesity, Dia-betes, Metabolic Syndrome, Inability to Lose Weight, Weight Loss, Thyroid Illness and Diseases, Infertility, Irregular Menstruation
Muscular / Skeletal Disorders, e.g. Stiff or Sore Joints, Arthritis, Tendonitis
Immune System and other Comorbidities, e.g. Reduced immunity against Infections, Allergies, Autoim-mune Diseases, Heart Problems, progression of tumors
Message
A nurse will be sent to your home to take blood samples which will then be sent off to a lab for testing.
Message
Food and Chemical sensitivities are mediated by multiple pathogenic mechanisms. By using the cellular approach, instead of a single antibody such as IgG, the Alcat Test can identify food and chemical sensitivities regardless of the pathway (immunologic, toxic, pharmacologic).
Message
Generally speaking test results will come back within 2 to 3 weeks.
Message
Test results are sent back to your practitioner who will then schedule a follow-up visit with you to go over the results and prescribe a nutritional protocol based on results.
Message
If possible do not take medications or supplements 3 hours before blood draw OR take medications and supplements/vitamins after the blood draw. Please mention if you taking antihistamines, steroid medications, antibiotics, or anti-coagulants.
