I find it interesting that some of the foods on my "severe" list
are not foods I really eat every day although a few of them are.
It's also funny that saffron which is on my severe list and also
some of the foods on my moderate list I rarely or never eat.

After taking the alcat test and a regular allergy test for foods also, I am currently only eating 25 foods (and that's up from 19). I couldn't handle rotating...
Thanks, Tammie. Do you have a lot of items on your mild list? If so, do you try to limit how many of those foods you eat in any given day? It will be...
Wow, Cara! Whe there that many foods that you were sensitive noo, or was it that you just found rotating to be overwhelming? I'm encouraged to hear that your...
Rice is on my moderate list. The only grains I am eating are corn and millet right now, and I'm not entirely sure about the millet. Cara Ziegel Richmond, VA...
Cara, have you tried some of the other grains that alcat doesn't test for like quinoa and amaranth? I've wondered how I will do with some of the things I...

I really appreciate your willingness to share your story. I'm curious. Were the alcat and your other allergy test results in agreement? Was the other test a...

They shouldn't agree, they are different kinds of reactions. The allergy test is for IgE reactions, which is usually an immediate reaction. The alcat is IgA...
Actually the ALCT is not immunoglobulin mediated at all - neither IgE or IgA. They simply look at your cells' responses to an antigen (foreign substance, in...
I want to thank everyone for the responses today. I have wanted to take the ALCAT for some time. I've read more than one book about the benefits, but I've also...
