Method Health Store - Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease and IBS Test

Learn your reactivity to over 450 foods and chemicals that may be causing discomfort
Food and Chemical Sensitivity Test

The Celiac, IBS, and Crohn’s Array (CICA) evaluates your genetic risk for celiac disease and Crohn's disease, serum markers associated with an active celiac disease process, and serum markers associated with active Crohn’s disease.

The CICA is designed to provide an accurate evaluation of GI tract function by gathering information from various pathways.

Optionally, it can be combined with the Alcat Test to evaluate innate immune cell responses to more than 500 other foods (including gluten, gliadin, casein and whey) and substances for the most comprehensive assessment.

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. The ALCAT Test is efficacious for food sensitivities, but not "true" food allergies.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, inabilitiy to lose weight
