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 

Inflammatory conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, arthritis or asthma, autoimmune disorders 

Others, such as fatigue, headache, migraine, cognitive impairment

Note: The Alcat Test does not make a medical diagnosis nor is it a substitute for health or medical advice. If you have a medical condition you should seek a qualified healthcare practitioner.

The laboratory analysis includes the immune biological reactions of the white blood cells. The Alcat Test® does not measure food allergies (type 1/IgE). Since these reactions can be serious, you should seek the help of an allergy specialist if you suspect or have food allergies.
