Description

 

The ALCAT lab testing technology measures the “endpoint” reactions of foods, chemicals, additives, colorings, and even several pharmaceutical compounds. An ALCAT test does not just show the initial heightened immune response (which can be only temporary when measuring antibodies), but shows the end result of the chemical weapons released by the white blood cells.
ALCAT testing works well for those who have a limited diet or have taken out numerous foods already but want to see what foods ultimately create a potentially harmful immune system reaction, which can lead to sustained and destructive inflammation.

Although other testing methods are valuable when performed by an educated professional, the ALCAT test is often considered the, “gold standard” laboratory method for identification of non-IgE (true allergy) mediated reactions to foods, chemicals, and other substances.


What is it?

The ALCAT food sensitivity test is a minimally invasive blood test that accurately and reproducibly measures biological cellular reactivity in whole blood. Unlike standard IgG tests, which rely exclusively on one immune pathway and merely detects exposure, the ALCAT test is the premier test for detecting food, mold and chemical sensitivities/intolerances. Studies show the ALCAT test to be 83.4% accurate with foods and 96% accurate with food additives, as compared with the Gold Standard – a double blind oral challenge.
The ALCAT test objectively measures changes in size and number of white blood cells in response to en vivo challenges with foods, chemicals and other environmental stimuli. Scores are generated by relating the patients’ own blood without test substrate to their tested, reactive blood. Results are designated into four categories – Severe Intolerance, Moderate Intolerance, Mild Intolerance and Acceptable Foods – on a color coded report that is accessible online by the prescribing doctor or by hard copy. Included in the results is an individualized rotation diet.

What happens after you order your test?

  1. Your test kit will immediately be shipped to you.
  2. It is recommended you have the blood drawn and sent out by Wednesday to avoid any delay in transit.
  3. Once you receive your kit, you can take it into a nearby lab for the blood draw, or contact ALCAT to set up an appointment for a mobile blood draw.
  4. You should receive your results within 8-10 business days after the draw (the hard copy will follow in the mail).
  5. We’ll give you a number included within your results booklet to call and schedule an appointment with a nutritionist where you’ll go over your results, talk about your rotational diet, and answer all your questions.
