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 – I would only have 5 or 6 foods to eat each day . . . I’m
already starved for variety and flavor. I am feeling much better tho –
my hayfever symptoms are better, and my stomach is way better, and quitting
gluten stopped my headaches and depression too
I need to find a naturopath . . .

-----Original Message----- mindy: By the way,
do most of you try to avoid the mild foods for the
first three months, or do you just eat them in a rotation diet
and try to only eat a couple of foods from that list each day and
not in combination with each other. I still not sure about
ablind of this and have not had time to talk with my naturopath
since receiving the results.
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...

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...
my tests were not in agreement. The skin prick test did not pick up any of my food allergies only environmental ones. There is no comparison. Tammie ---...

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...
