Alcat Food Sensitivity Testing
Food Sensitivity Testing
Food sensitivities are quite different than food allergies and can go largely undetected and un-diagnosed for most individuals. Where as food allergies cause an immediate immune response when offending foods are consumed, food sensitivities cause a much more subtle, delayed reaction in the body that is harder to pin point.

Why we frequently feel sick . . .
Symptoms provoked by food sensitivities occur when our immune system begins perceiving foods in the same way it perceives things which are actually harmful, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This causes the release of toxic chemicals called “mediators” (such as histamine, cytokines, and prostaglandins) from our immune cells. It’s the inflammatory and pain-inducing effects of the mediators that give rise to symptoms, which ends up making us feel sick.

Conditions & Symptoms Linked to Food Sensitivities:
|
Do you often feel gassy and bloated after eating? Have you been plagued with digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome manifesting as chronic diarrhea or constipation? How about indigestion? All of these can be potential symptoms of food sensitivities.

Dr. Jaston T Bradley, naturopathic physician from Washington Street Wellness Center in Iowa City, IA. He discussed eliminating toxins to help lose weight. Through the use of the Alcat test he has seen his patients improve their energy, well being, with amazing and unexpected results which include dramatic weight loss.

The ALCAT Food and Chemical Sensitivity/Intolerance Test provides both clients and healthcare professionals with a tool to successfully overcome a wide variety of conditions, such as digestive disorders, migraines, obesity, chronic fatigue, mood issues, skin disorders and arthritis, which result from food and chemical sensitivities.
Allergies and sensitivities to certain foods often go unnoticed for years because the symptoms are not immediate. Symptoms may include unexplained rashes, skin issues, headaches, digestive issues, bloating and gas, exhaustion, and more. Delayed allergies to specific foods and chemicals (sometimes called sensitivities) can be identified through a simple blood test. This type of testing is essential for identifying “hidden” allergies that may go undetected by traditional methods such as skin testing. Testing identifies the relevant foods and substances associated with many types of chronic inflammatory and metabolic disorders.

Research has shown that patients with IBS, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic depression, and many other conditions have higher than normal levels of these mediators circulating throughout their bodies. For many, the “trigger” that causes the mediators to be released can be linked to foods or chemicals in their diet. Food sensitivity symptoms are usually chronic because the mediators that make us feel sick are released every time the reactive foods are eaten and if those foods are never discovered, getting better and staying better becomes a long-term never-ending struggle.
Food sensitivities can occur at any age, triggering many different symptoms and contribute to a variety of disorders. The ALCAT test measures all pathways of the immune system from one simple non-fasting blood draw.
Follow-up sessions will guide you through a digestive health and support program with guidelines for food elimination, replacement, rotation and re-introduction as well as digestive system repair and rebuilding guidance. This is a must for anyone that has suffered from chronic digestive issues, mood and behavior concerns, chronic headaches or autoimmune conditions.

- You'll learn the foods that cause mild / moderate / severe reaction.
- See an Example Report >>>
- The "reaction" is the inflammatory response at the cellular level.
