An ALCAT test looks for substances related to cellular immune system reactions that contribute to inflammation in the body. What does this mean? It can identify and treat diseases and conditions at the individual level that are related to diet. Some common examples include: gut problems, obesity, chronic inflammation, skin problems, cognitive impairment and fatigue.
Food as medicine
After evaluating the advanced laboratory data from your ALCAT test, Victoria Clinic designs a nutritional program tailored to your unique immune system.
By avoiding stressful and inflammatory foods, you support important physical functions, detoxification and processes that maintain and improve health. By extension, this means you can boost your metabolism, optimize your nutrient absorption at the cellular level, improve your gut health and strengthen your immune system, among other things.
When can you benefit from performing an ALCAT test?
- For gastrointestinal problems such as celiac disease, IBS, Crohn’s disease, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gastritis and reflux.
