FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTING
FOOD SENSITIVITY BLOOD TEST
The presence of food sensitivities, as a result of leaky gut, are a common problem these days. Unfortunately, most people are unaware their migraines, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, diabetes or skin disorders may be triggered by sensitivity to certain foods. Four out of five Americans are intolerant to at least one food and the symptoms are often overlooked or mistaken for something else. When these sensitivities are removed, the body can restore itself.
WHAT IS THE ALCAT TEST AND HOW IT CAN HELP
The Alcat food sensitivity test is widely considered to be the gold standard for identifying food sensitivities. A small amount of blood (3 vials) can identify up to 400 different types of food intolerance and chemical sensitivities. What makes this test superior is that it measures the reaction of your body's white blood cells when exposed to various types of food. If the white blood cell count is elevated or if the cell changes shape and size, it is an indication that food is causing inflammation within the body. This test definitively tells you which foods need to be temporarily eliminated to help restore a
healthy gut microbiome. The Alcat test has been under development and perfected for over 35 years. It is the only Food Sensitivity Test validated by Yale School of Medicine, and used by doctors and scientists throughout the world.
WHAT IS HAPPENING
Because of exposure to toxins, medications and even stress, Leaky Gut develops. This means that your gut, your stomach and 25 ft of intestines, has become porous, allowing clumps of proteins and undigested food waste to seep into the circulatory system. This triggers your immune system to attack the foreign substance, leading to chronic inflammation. Where the inflammation occurs determines whether you may experience digestive issues, skin issues or even neurologic issues like hyperactivity or anxiety. Remember, it’s not the food that is bad, it’s the fact that you developed leaky gut.
WHATS THE NEXT STEP?
Find out which foods are causing inflammation by taking the Alcat test. Donna will help you decide which test panel works best for you. Then we’ll schedule your blood draw. We try to schedule that same week because we know how important your return to health is. You can come to the lab, or, in some cases, the phlebotomist can come to your home or office. We overnight the blood to the lab. You’ll get your results in less than 10 days. Then Donna will coach you on how to remove the reactive foods and help you develop a realistic menu.
"After 20 years of dermatologist's visits, taking medications, and applying creams, I finally realized the problem could be a food sensitivity. -
Thanks to the advice of my nutritionist, I found Donna at Go with Your Gut Testing. Donna took the time to help me understand the steps I needed to take. I started seeing improvements in about two weeks. Gradually my Plaque psoriasis disappeared from all over my body. Now 5 months later I’m free from that dreaded disease.”
