Food Sensitivity Testing
Discover Your Food Sensitivities
At Spine Wellness Cincinnati, we understand that everyone’s body reacts differently to various foods, which can lead to weight gain, joint pain and chronic health issues. To address this, we offer the ALCAT test, a cutting-edge food sensitivity testing method. This test identifies specific foods and other ingredients that may trigger an immune response in your body. By analyzing your blood’s reaction to different substances, the ALCAT test provides a clear picture of which specific foods are causing your health problems.
With the insights gained from this test, our team can help you create a personalized diet plan that eliminates problematic foods, reducing symptoms like weight gain, bloating, digestive problems, fatigue, joint pain and headaches. Many auto-immune conditions are also greatly improved by eating your ALCAT results! This targeted approach not only alleviates symptoms but also supports optimal health by reducing inflammation, a key factor in chronic diseases.
Choosing to undergo ALCAT testing at our clinic means taking a significant step towards understanding your body better and managing your health proactively. Our experienced staff will guide you through the entire process, from testing to interpreting the results and implementing dietary changes. Embrace the journey towards a healthier, more vibrant you by discovering how your body interacts with different foods and making informed choices based on scientific evidence.

Symptoms of Food Sensitivities
Food sensitivities can cause a variety of symptoms that may affect different parts of the body. Common gastrointestinal symptoms include bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation, often making digestion uncomfortable. Some individuals might experience more systemic effects such as headaches, migraines, or a general feeling of fatigue.
Additionally, food sensitivities can manifest as skin issues like rashes, eczema, or acne. In some cases, joint pain or mood disturbances such as irritability and anxiety can also be linked to reactions from certain foods. Unlike food allergies, which trigger an immediate immune response, food sensitivities result in a slower, less obvious response, making them harder to diagnose without specific testing like the ALCAT test.
Benefits of ALCAT Testing
Better Management of Chronic Disease
Addressing food sensitivities through ALCAT testing as a crucial step in managing and potentially suppressing autoimmune disorders, as well as reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and metabolic disorders.
When you eliminate foods identified as sensitivities by the ALCAT test, you reduce chronic inflammation in your body. Inflammation is a well-known factor in autoimmune conditions and can exacerbate symptoms or trigger flare-ups. By cutting out these foods, the immune system can stabilize and become less likely to attack the body’s own tissues, potentially suppressing autoimmune reactions.
Furthermore, chronic inflammation is a risk factor for the development of cancer, as it contributes to DNA damage and tumor growth. By managing inflammation through diet, we can reduce this risk, helping to protect cells from damage and supporting the body’s natural defenses against cancer.
Food sensitivities also disrupt your metabolic health, leading to insulin resistance and fat accumulation, both of which are risk factors for heart disease and diabetes. By removing reactive foods from your diet, you can normalize metabolic health, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce fat accumulation, thus decreasing the risk of both heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Overall, a diet tailored to avoid food sensitivities can be a powerful tool in enhancing overall health, preventing chronic disease, and supporting long-term wellness.
